Crazy windsurfing.

The Irish waves have been ridden by real daredevils

Eight brave men arrived in Northern Ireland in the town of Magheroarty on March 9 and immediately arranged several test races.

The competitions themselves were held over the next two days, March 10-11. On the photo - an Australian, Jaeger Stone, is getting ready for his performance.

However, sometimes they even fly a lot. Phillip Kester, for example, can do it! They say one day he jumped over the moon...

German Leon Jamaer seems to be preparing for another spectacular jump.

Ricardo Campello parted with his wing in the jump, and gravity, smirking with an acrid grin, immediately reminded him of the law of gravity.

Frenchman Thomas Traversa is warming up in his car while waiting for his turn.

It seems that the emotions of super-extreme competition are more important, the prize. Still, it's nice to get a well-deserved award. The best one was Jager Stone. Philip Kester came in second, and Leon Jamaire got the «bronze». Fourth place was awarded to British Robby Swift.

We do not need the Turkish coast and we do not need Africa!

Eight brave men arrived in Northern Ireland in the town of Magheroarty on March 9 and immediately arranged several test races. "You guys are crazy! It's really too cold for windsurfing! Good luck!" - didn't get tired of cheering up the fans of their favorite social networks.

Why don't people fly like birds?

Banzai!

Winds up to 70 knots, waves up to 8 meters, cold Atlantic water, snow on the shore... Not the best weather for windsurfing? Someone might think so, but not these desperate guys! They've been waiting for conditions like this for three whole years, and excitedly flocked to Ireland from their homes across Europe when they heard about an impending storm. They only had 72 hours to get to Ireland in time. Welcome to the Red Bull Storm Chase!
