 Top UK rider and Cop Andy King, (PC Andy King to you and I), sent in this notice of a stolen trailer in Cornwall.

"A Gemini GEM 93 - 4 wheel white fibre glass windsurfing trailer, pictured,  has been stolen from an address in Truro, Cornwall.  Inside the trailer were 6 sails, 3 masts and a boom.  The sails were Neil Pryde Core's 4.1m, 4.7m, 5.3m and a Rushwind 6.5m all orange in colour plus an Ezzy Slalom 6.6m in black and red. The boom was a North Pro. The trailer is very rare so please keep your eyes peeled and report any sighting of any kit fitting this description to Devon and Cornwall Police on 08452777444 quoting ref to Crime - gp/10/118.

Speed Demons

 Thanks to Chris Adamson who sent in this clip of some Aussie Speed Demons and said, "in the final run Chris Lockwood's doing over 45 knots!"

How's this for committment? For her first ever wave contest, Maui's Sam Bittner decided to run her own event - not only that, she's revived the legendary Pistol River Wave Bash! Check out her PR -looks like she's done a very professional job so far.

<<PR

Plans are in full swing for the 2010 Pistol River Wave Bash. After a nearly 10 year break, Trade Wind Events LLC is bringing back the bash! Dates are set for June 17th-20th. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department has granted permission for use of Pistol River State Park. Gold Beach Fairgrounds has been reserved for opening and closing ceremonies as well as camping for all.  This event promises to be the largest US wave sailing contest of the year.  Recruiting for top judges and final sponsorships are ongoing. Open your calenders and sign up today, because although this is an open event, there is only room for the first 100 competitors who enter!

Remember the Golden Ticket Offer for a trip to Maui and a cameo role in the film (and more)  featured in the launch issue of Windsurfer International Magazine? Well the draw's only made in April so still plenty of time to enter!

Wide Open Ocean

First an apology. I failed to check a video sent to me yesterday (Secret Spot)  and let you down by not realising it was a K***boarding flick. Yuk. 

I'm truly sorry for publishing and not vetting for inappropriate content and promise I won't do it again.

Thanks to Jochen at WindsurfingTenerife.com for these shots of Alex Mussolini taken at La Fitenia/Las Americas.

Much respect to Martin Gaveriuax for his attempted crossing from Florida and Cuba. (Google translated version - French language original here.)

Speaking of open ocean adventure, the Guadaloupe/Martinique crossing is back as The Red Bull Master of Carribean! (Scroll down for English text.)
