Weendy, not just another iPhone app.
“Stop chasing the wind.” That’s what weendy, a new iPhone app I just discovered, promises to us windsurfers (and anyone else who depends on wind and waves to have fun). That’s a pretty big promise, so I decided to check it out.

Stam Promponas GRE-393 freestyling!
It was around 2005 when I got to know Stamatis during a freestyle sesh in a beach near Athens. At that time he was quiet guy trying to land volcans.
Some years later he is among the 10 best european freestylers, still having that low profile behaviour. Definitely one of the guys everybody like to sail with!
Enjoy!
Stam is sponsored by Windstar, Fanatic, Vandal, Maui Ultra Fins...

Watch95% of the windsurfers claim that they land back loops occasionally. Probably they forget that last 5% of the jump, the landind. Watch Boujmaa Gouillol, Tyson Poor and others demonstrating how the most technical (single) loop is done… at 100%!
