Capetown 2019

  • 25. März 201917. April 2019

After working my ass of on different projects and my mission to finish my university degree, I decided that I needed a creative break. I checked the usual spots around and gave Capetown 2nd chance. With a very nice crew we hit the plane to South Africa and with us the wind arrived after a bad season (I heard). The beginnig was crazy, I sailed almost everyday on my 3.6 for Freestyle and when we hit the waves (if there were some) in the afternoon often 3,7 was the choice. After Mauritius the South African Waves were quite difficult and very sketchy to ride for me. Anyways I was pushing my level as hard as I could and tried to inhale all those vibes. In the 2nd part of the trip the South-East wind got less and less, so I got some time on the SUP surfing some small (and sometimes smaller) waves - great fun. Anyways we (Marco Lufen and me) did a some videoshooting at an inland lake called Brandvlei, I guess there will be a very short edit soon. Somehow we missed quite the best sessions for filming....BUT this trip was about surfing not filming - there is some big project coming up - I will tell you more soonish...

Spotguide Rhodes

  • 1. März 201910. März 2019

In the newest issue of the Surf-Magazin is the last part of Andre’s and my Travelstory to Greece. Some magazines ago we had 8 pages with Kos, this time it’s the story of Rhodes. Rhodes is a very special island to me, as my windsurfroots start there. Feel Free to read the article online or printed and let me know how you like it! As all this stories would not be possible with the support of some amazing people, I would like to thank Chris Sammer (Duotone), Chiemsee, Surf & Action, Surfshop Upsidedown for supporting our Greecetrip.

New Video from Max Brinnich

New Video

  • 5. Dezember 2018

Time to make it official: SEEN 8, my new Video is here. This time you can find some crazy action from Vienna’s Citywindsurf Spot: „The Bridge“. But then…What is going on?! I crash straight into the 80s?! But hey Windsurfing was still there, the cars were sick aswell, the closes and sunglasses had a different style, but they had style, and the Windsurfequipment? Yes, different – but unexpected very good rideable and good fun. To say the truth riding the old Sunset Slalom with the more than 30year old North Sails was one of my best Crusing and Freeridedays I ve ever had – so much fun! But now go and check the Video.

Ah yes, and the Video takes part in the Windsurfers.de Video Competition. Check it out.

Autumn in Austria 2018

Max Brinnich Windsurfing

Wow. That has been the best Autumn in Austria, since I ve been Windsurfing! The bridge was going of, a lot of perfect south-east wind days, really awesome conditions I could share with some of my best friends. I think after travelling so much the last 1,5 years coming home and sail almost every single day at the spots where you grew up, is just as good as it gets! When the South Wind kicked in September me and my buddy Jo started working on a proper Windsurf Action Clip straight out of Vienna. It will take part in the Panasonic Windsurf Video Competion hosted by Windsurfers.de, it will be online pretty soon!

Beside ripping up the Danube we got some storm days on Lake Neusiedl aswell. Hell yeah, nothing beats the feeling of being totally overpowered in some pure flying water gusts, two days stayed in my mind: First we experienced a massive NW day in Podersdorf. Flying water everywhere, measured windgusts up to 120km/h, me totally stacked on my Idol LTD 3.6 and my small Flikka FS Board. WHAT AN AWESOME DAY! A few days with SE directly followed the big storm, and guess what it got even better.

THE DAY of the Year!

If you were following my stories on social media or here, this year Neusiedl was a bit of my Kryptonite, I just did not get warm with the spot during the EFPT Event there. Anyways a forecast popped up which predicted up to 45knots South Wind. Usually I would go to Weiden, but my friend Luki convinced me to give Neusiedl another try. Already on the way there, I heard on the Radio that’s up to 100km/h South Wind in Neusiedl. I was excited. After a few runs on my 4.0, I changed down to 3.6. And I was sailing until it got dark, as it was just THE DAY OF THE YEAR. I think for me it was also a gamechanger. As I finally realized I can land also the hardest moves in not ideal conditions when I pulled of my first planning shifty and some crazy Airfunnel Burners and Kabis in the mega chop. I think it has been at least one year that I ve been so stoked about Windsurfing! And for sure my personal highlight of 2018, which is crazy when you think back on what kind of dream spots I ve been, that I still find the biggest pleasure at the place where I grew up, where I learned to Windsurf and what I call my home!

 

What’s next? Right now I need to catch up with some projects I was working on the whole year to still push it out. There are three Windsurf Videos coming in the following weeks – so prepared! The plan is to squeeze in at least one or two Croatia trips now in December for some R&D Work on new Flikkaplans. I would love to hit the mountains aswell, as I ve a really cool new Cooperation coming up. Anyways latest in Jannuary it will be the time to kick Windsurfing 2019 of. I was thinking quite a lot how Windsurfing could be then. After all those years it is still my big Love. So there is only one way. Windsurf More. More Quality. Go Bigger and send it more!

 

Yours,

Max

Surf 9/18 – Kos Spotguide

  • 30. September 20182. Dezember 2018

Hey Guys!

Last June I spent a couple of weeks in Greece. My friend Andre and me did some island hopping to produce a stories for the German Surf-Magazin. It’s the biggest Print Magazin in the Windsurfworld with around 25k issues sold every month. So if you are keen to jump on a cheap flight next summer (Vienna-Kos you can go for aroung 80!! €) Maybe this spotguide helps you. You can read it online on digital.surf-magazin.de

Mauritius 2018

  • 14. September 201823. September 2018
An intense summer coming to an end. I ve been in Mauritius for almost two months and enjoying it’s amazing landscape, the pure nature and some very nice Windsurfing.
Altough this spot will never be my favourite place to Windsurf, you can score some proper conditions. Some of the days are as good as it gets, with huge glassy waves steady wind and just friends in the water. On other days you are battling with 30 Kitesurfers and 20 Windsurfers in light gusty winds for some choppy waves…which caused some upsets aswell. Anyways I tried to make the most out of it, sail whatever was there and had a lot of watertime – which is the most important thing anyways!
Beside the Windsurfing Side of Life, we got some very nice SUP Sessions and saw whales and Dolphins – which made the whole trip unforgetable.
There will be definitly a short Windsurf Video from Mauritius and there will be also a JBL Imagevideo feat. the brandnew Clip 3 aswell. Beside that we shot some content for Surf&Action Company and Chiemsee. You will find more about this soon on this page.
As so many people asked me for recommendation for their stay, one of the most amazing houses I saw is the Villa Seewoo directly in La Goulette. I would totally recommend it for you if you want more quality, but have not enough budget for one of the **** Hotels.
There are some exciting Videos and NEWS coming soonish – so better check my socialmedia channels and this blog…

Trip to Greece

  • 29. Juni 201829. Juni 2018

In beginnig of June I started a trip to GREECE with my friend Andre. This year the spring season in Austria was not really as good as it was in the previous years, so it felt like a relief to go to some Greek Islands and get some proper Windsurfing done. 

With a solid forecast ahead I was boarding to Kos at 4.00 in the morning, starting the day with an ice cold cafe frape, after a day of chilling, we started with some Foilaction and later on we got some pretty decent Freestyle conditions…After a few days on Kos, we headed further to Rhodos to checkout new places such as Theologos, then visited the more known Spots Trianda and Prasonisi. In Prasonisi I probably had one of my best sessions so far this year ending it with a almost landed Airfunnel-Burner…so sick…

 

After scoring all the spots we took back the ferryboat to Kos to bring the spotchasing there to an end. With some foiling in Kefalos and some Windsurfing in Marmari and Psalidi the trip ended well, but left room for more. So I am still keen on Windsurfing.Ahh yes, forgot the most important stuff: you can read all about our adventures in one of the next issues of the German SURF. And you will find some detailed spotdescriptions aswell!

Now a two weeks back home for the Upsidedown Next Generation Week, teaching some kids how to Windsurf and then off for a whole summer in Mauritius. 

Cu soon

Spring in France

Skopu Weshcenter

Checking the Weatermap was not satisfying on Monday after the Croatia trip, lot’s of snow and crazy cold temperatures predictated. So I packed my van once again, bought some new camping stuff and drove via Germany and Switzerland to France. To make the Trip cheaper – I used an app called „blablacar“ and took a random guy from Lyon to Montpelier – was a nice dude.

In Leucate it was hammering for 3 weeks – almost everyday on 3.6 – full taquet, no mercy. I was so much on the water with legend Balz Müller that I got completly hooked with Windsurfing again. The best part about this trip was meeting so many old friends like Nico Akgacyan, Balz Müller, Rikki Marca, Loick Spicher,…and making new friends with some locals and foreigners…

The conditions can be really tough – even when there was no wind predicted I was fighting with flying water and huge chop! but all in all it was an amazing trip and I enjoyed my small vanlife to the max!

  • My favourite Spot in South France? I like the flatwater of Rouet, but also enjoyed the chop of the Teleski Lake
  • Where to go with Marin(South Wind)? Go to Lac de Ganguise…but hey 18knots can 45knots there – the Landscape is amazing anyways
  • Croissants? Everywhere!
  • Where to meet the other Windsurfers? Weshcenter
  • Don’t like it Deadflat, and Wesh is too crowded?! try La Palme, it’s sick!

What comes Next? Surfworldcup at my homespot: Lake Neusiedler! Cu there

Season Kickoff 18 – Medulin

  • 13. März 20187. Mai 2018


This year my season kicked of super late, as I was still recovering from a small hand injury. Anyways my comeback was strong…a super nice Southwind Weekend in Croatia. Vanlife, Bureks, Beach, Sea and some wind. At least I was sailing all my Gear from 5.2 with 100l to 3.6 and 75l – was great fun and I could also test some new stubby shapes from Flikkaboards in different sizes with different fin setups. All in All a great comeback weekend – and after I was ready for some spring sessions at Home! BUT the winter kicked back – snow, ice and decent -°C temperatures made a season start in Austria impossible – so I had to escape again…

 

 

Brazil 2017 – Seen VII

  • 30. Dezember 201712. Februar 2018

The new episode takes you to Brazil again. After researching for weeks where to go in November, I ended up in a Pickup to Jeri again. This video shows what Jericoacoara this year had to offer for me. Lot’s of (almost) lonely sessions down in front of the duna – where nobody is sailing (ok because it can be quite gusty). I really wanna make a huge shout out to the Band * repeat repeat, because they gave me this awesome song for this video! *repeat repeat – Not the One https://www.repeatrepeatmusic.com A big thank you also goes to my awesome girlfriend -Theresa Kellner – for the continues support in everything and especially watershooting – sorry for getting too close sometimes. In addition thanks to Alex Mertens who stepped it up with a few clips (and the awesome drone shots) and Felix Volkhardt who helped me staying motivated.
