The following is a press release sent out by NeilPryde earlier this month…

Neil Pryde Ltd announced today that as of February 28th Bjorn Dunkerbeck, winner of 13 WindsurfingWorld Championship titles under the Neil Pryde brand, will no longer represent the company as a Pro Team rider. Founder and Managing Director Mr Neil Pryde had the following comments to make: “The relationship between Bjorn Dunkerbeck and the Neil Pryde brand has been long and successful and I would like to personally thank Bjorn for the great contribution he has made to the success of our brand over many years of participation in the Windsurfing sport. As it is, times change and we all need to move on and while we were unable to reach a mutually acceptable contractual agreement with Bjorn for the coming years, this does not lessen our appreciation for the contribution Bjorn has made to our company and to the sport.” From all of us at Neil Pryde we wish Bjorn every success in the future.
