Nice action from Philippe Mesmeur in France. Actually we love these surfsailing DTL conditions with light cross shore wind where you forget that you still hold a sail and you get the rhythm of the breaking wave.

Very few women in windsurfing scene have style and power that could be compared to men. Iballa Ruano Moreno is one of the female windsurfers that could give to most male windsurfers a run for their money (especially at nuclear windy Pozo break). This is the teaser of her upcoming movie “E-63”.

It takes guts to hit late a mast high section at Hookipa. It’s also useful to take a good breath before doing so cause sometimes things don’t go as planned. Jason Polakow being a bit late … (that bit is actually measured in msec!)

Graham Ezzy has been to Japan on a two week trip for filming with umi. When he landed back to Maui he went straight to his element. That’s a Hookipa “jet lagged” Taka.

.. all we know is, he's called Bernd!
Some say that the outline of his left nipple is exactly the same shape as Maui’s, and that if you force him to do his homework, he’ll shave his hair into a Naish skull mohican way… all we know is, he’s called Bernd Roediger!. Note: Bernd’s DOB is 10/07/96!!!

The disease can be spread in the nation’s waters through needle and blood pollution. Enteric Bacteria: it is transported by storm water and sewage run-off; the beaches become contaminated with fecal pollution, known...

FANATIC QUADS GET NEW TAILS?
The following photo is a cropped one from  yesterday’s post  that shows Victor Fernandez testing a round pintail version of Fanatic’s quad. Additionally we know that since last year Sebastian Wenzel’s custom boards shaped for Fanatic, are -weight wise- equipped with slot-box instead of US-box. Time will show what will be included in next year’s lineup of boards.

cape town 2011...
Cape Town is on fire lately! Our “correspondent” and good friend Iosif report that after Xmas time there has been some super windy days with average overhead swell.  But it was the last 3 days that a massive swell with moderate wind made things a bit trickier! Fanatic team leaders could not miss the party! Victor enjoys the view from above… and throws a goiter for the fun of...

INTERVIEW WITH BOUJMAA GUILLOUL
Boujmaa, what boards and sails are on top of your car roof on an average Moulay day? 71Evo, twin fin set up, 4.0 and 4.2 Gator. Do you think that power wave sails enhance your jumping performance and why? I believe, the more speed and more power you get in your sail, the higher you can go, and my sails suit me a lot for my jumps, I love them and I love the way they react to gusts and the...
