It's easy to see how Steven Van Broeckhoven (F2, MauiSails) ended the year in 5^thplace overall for freestyle and was also named rookie of the year when you see him pulling off tricks with such ease as he does in this video.

Apparently he's training hard in Jericoacoara, Brazil, as we speak, so expect some more video clips from the young Belgian soon.

Check out his latest video which was put together from clips of him training in both Tarifa and Sagres last winter HERE

Sources tell us that once Van Broeckhoven has perfected all of the latest moves in Brazil, he'll be off to South Africa to work on his port tack jumping, and after that he'll be heading to Bonaire to invent some new moves with the best guys in the business.

Watch this space, we bet you he'll be on the PWA podium soon.
