J Polakow hunts giant surf in far far north oz


The guys windsurfing on holiday in the cocos islands with 2ndwind this week had a surprise when Jason Polakow turned up to chase the monster swells and tell some stories.

He had stopped off for 3 days to score some big wave shots for an up coming online video. In what can best be described as an "challenging" mission with more setbacks than greenroom's SB posts.
The boys finally wrangled a boat that was barely seaworthy to get some truly sketchy, but amazing to watch, windsurf, tow in and sup rides on a huge swell.

I will try to posts some pics when I get back to Perth. I had a few camera issues so am not sure if much made the cut as I seemed to catch their bad luck disease.

I did manage to sit Jason down long enough to film an interview while the plane they were catching home landed in front of us. Matt Holder filmed it and we will try to get it up here on line soon.

For those of us here to watch the show it was amazing to see the lengths JP will go to score the pics and enjoy riding the waves. I would highly advise against trying this at home (or here) as there was no wind in the break and no water over the reef.
JP was floating on his windurfer for two and half hours with no wind on an 80ltr and a 4.8 sail and I have no idea how he survived some of the close calls.

Keep and eye out for the pics and video on his web site in the future and the interview here soon.
