All Images Extreme Sailing Series


The Extreme Series had an excellent choice of venue for the final 2012 event.
Rio is one of the most beatifull & cool cities on Earth, and as I said many times, too few people are more fun & cooler than the Brazilians.
Rio 2016 Olympics are going to be epic.

The Wave Muscat only ,2 points ahead of Edmond de Rothschild for Rio crown. Nice to see Torben Grael on a cat too, remember his brother Lars Grael was an Olympic Tornado medalist, that sadly lost one his legs in a power boat incident cutting his carreer, although he continue to sail in excellent level, in the Star class for ie.
