the history. POINT-7 in 2013 initiated a new initiative to introduce a strong team in an individual sport. The initiative was founded to revolutionize the sport and to grow a strong marketing tool for the POINT-7 products, as the main sponsor of the team and its co-sponsors. The Black Team is built up around a group of key windsurf athletes from around the globe who each individually have been chosen based on their commitment, their potential and for their personal goals.

42
The concept is to create TEAM SPIRIT in an individual athlete sport, building a stronger team image via competition generated results and media coverage. The Black Team proved during 2013 that the concept can pave the road towards World Championships, with an amazing event win and great team results already gained during the first event on the PWA* World Tour. *Professional Windsurfing Association
the concept.
