New sponsors, new equipment, back in the game!
It’s been a long time since my last sailing. After a hand injury which I had in Cape Town, I hurt my knee which added few extra days to my non sailing period.
Luckily it’s all gone and I’m happy to say: I’m coming back. I am on Fuerteventura already for some training before the PWA event which will start on the 25th of July. It’s quite hard to get back to shape but after three days it’s already going quite well so I look forward for the next days and for the contest.
Secondly I totally changed all my sponsors in the season 2009. I joined two great international teams. This year I will use RRD boards and Simmer Style Sails. All of my trips will be secured by Unimil which started a new internet portal Uclub.pl which I will promote. I will also join a new clothing brand straight from Danish Klitmoller called Plasma Boardriding. The new brand is growing very fast and launching new style very fast. The founder Robert Sand is very ambitious about the brand so for sure we will see a lot of great stuff from their side. All of those products will be provided in Poland by new internet surf shop called eSurf.pl which is also my new sponsor. One brand which didn’t change and still gives me a lot of support is Da Kine. I’ve already received the new version of the T4 harness and for sure I will write a bit more about that later from the Canaries.
This season will be for sure my way back to the professional windsurfing and I hope I can sail good in Fuerte and promote my sponsors. I will launch my “Freestyle Podcasts” again with the first episode very soon. I hope we will have great conditions and I can get back in shape in no time!
See you out there!

Saludos from Jonas Ceballos…
Hello friends,
Finally we are done, Pozo
2009 is finished! Unfortunately I couldn´t keep my 3º position in the
double elimination, I was against Ricardo Campello V-111 and it was a
good heat but I was not happy with the judge waves scoring I was just
ripping the waves even with frontside 360º.
I had a couple of good jumps but I have to say that i couldn´t get any
good ramp to do the massive jump. I also have to say that I was with
3.7 during all my heat and I was in the begining of the heat just
perfect a bit over power but good with power, in the middle of the heat
the wind picks up and I was totally over power. I looked my watch and
decided not to change to my 3.3 because I would loose at least 1 minute
because I was to downwind and Klaas Voget was doing cady for me and he
was to upwind so I just decided keep going with the 3.7. I was totally
over power with half meter more sail than campello, when normally it is
the opposite but, I´m happy in the other side because it was a tight
heat and I sailed good.
I would like to thank all these people
who has been at the beach pushing up for me and gaving me lot of
motivation with their comments, thanks a lot to my family and my
girlfriend who also has been at the beach suffering even more than me...
I
also would like to congratulate Phillip Köster, at only 15 he shows us
than nothing! Amazing sailing Phillip!! I would also like to
congratulate my team mate Victor Fernandez, he also was incredible,
very good heat Victor! Also Ricardo Campello, I want to give him my
congratulations for his 3º place, he also was sailing really good and
crazy like always.... and to finish congratulate my friend Dario
Ojeda E-211!! He also was sailing very good and he made a fantastic 5º
place!
I can not say I´m very happy about the result but im
happy about my performance. This year I have been training so hard, I
was feeling good, in good shape both psychically and mentally and very
focus and positive. I am back in the ranking and I´m looking foward for
the next PWA event in Sylt, this year nobody knows what is gonna happen
there...
Thanks a lot also all my sponsor,
Craig/Fanatic&Sebastian! I have to say I have had just what I was
looking for, amazing turning boards with good bottom turn and good top
turn with speed and the most important incredible the control I have
with it, thanks a lot and really good job also.
Simmer &
Tomas Persson, I didn´t receive the new sails for the competition but
that it was not a problem for me because I'm feeling soo confident with
my 2009 Mission X sails that I can not believe it, the sails are so
good even if you go over power is amazing the control. I have jumping
and waveriding. Thanks a lot guys and looking foward for the 2010
Mission X sails.
Mystic&Max, Thanks guys this is our first
year and thanks a lot for wearing me with the perfects wetsuits and
harnes,, I feel very confident.
MFC&Pio Also thanks a lot... also a good fin is an important key.
Also thanks a lot to Jonh Carter for his incredible job and pictures.
Saludos and thanks a lot to you guys.... will see whats happend in Sylt????

Spanish Cup in Pozo
Not a days rest for the Simmer squad! After 7 days competing the in the Gran Canaria Grand Slam Jonas Ceballos E-40 and Dario Ojeda E-211 presented a worldclass performance in the Spanish Cup in Pozo Izquiredo today.
In the final against Victor Fernandez E-42, Ceballos opened the heat
exploding into a 30 ft backloop straight into a perfectly landed
one-handed backloop only to race down to the Pozo bunker to finish of the run
with a double forward!! The score sheets where maxed out from both the
competitors in this extremely close show down, but Fernandez took home
the title.
Also Ojeda showed the crowed what he was made of, with spectacular
delayed forwards and flowing connecting wave rides, claiming the
loosers final!
Congratulations Dario and Jonas!!
Result
1. Victor Fernandez E-42
2. Jonas Ceballos E-40
3. Dario Ojeda E-211

Gran Canaria Grand Slam Day 6
Men´s Wave Double Elimination
With
a 47 knot wind and a growing swell the conditions for the mens double
elimination was off the wall! With 12 minute heats and the three best jumps
and two best wave rides counting there´s is no time to wast when 48 of the
world´s best windsurfers are battling for the prestigious title at Pozo Izquiredo.
The competitors were looking maxed on their 3.7m sails but the Simmer team was well represented with Ben Proffitt K-800, Ben van der Steen NED-57, Yann Sorlut F-60, Kenneth Danielsen D-38 all ready to go.
First out on the water was Yann Sorlut (F-60)
looking well powered up, pulling of a massive forward of the lip back
into the wave and a huge backloop within the first minutes of the heat.
Even though Sorlut is well rounded Pozo sailor, his performance wasn´t
enough to pass through into the next round.
Even with a injured knee Ben Proffitt was unstoppable landing a massive
tweaked pushloop and backside 360´s of the lip. The strong winds seemed
to be no challenge for top slalom sailor Ben Van Der Steen, airing into
one of the highest forwards of the day. Showing of their capabilities to handle these hectic conditions both Ben Proffitt and Ben Van Der Steen advanced to the second round.
The upcoming Danish sailor, Kenneth Danielsen delivered a impressive
performance, with huge delayed forwards and stylish backloops, but not even
this was enough to advance into the next heat.
The forecast is looking good for the continuation of the double elimination tomorrow, when Jonas Ceballos E-40 and Dario Ojeda E-211 get to battle for the title.
Tune in tomorrow for a further update.
