Bernd Flessner is the german windsurfer for two decades now. He is living on the North-Sea island Norderney and is 39 years right now. In 2008 he was elected “Surfer of the Year” once again. His successes: 13 times german champion, 12 times winner of the german windsurf-cup, first place series-board during the world-championship 1996 on Norderney and in the Top Ten of the world since 1991. |
| For years Aquapac is sponsoring Bernd Flessner and supports him with everything, so that his equipment on board will not get wet. As he said: “It is a lot of fun cruising with a speed of 70 km through the waves of the North-Sea and listen to your favourite music. For the boring slalom-training, it is really a welcome diversion. I recommend Aquapac.” On 15 August 2011 he finally realized one of his major projects, after in recent years the weather conditions had again and again thwarted his plans at the planned dates: the crossing of the German Bight from Norderney to Sylt with a detour via Helgoland - as many as about 140 kilometers on the surfboard. Together with accompanying boats and a helicopter he set off on Monday morning - and reached Hörnum on Sylt four hours later: with a torn sail and a wounded leg caused by a fin. He made only one break, ate two bananas and drank one and a half liter of liquid. And he complained of too little wind strengths, which had cost him too much force at the beginning.
