Irishman Oisin Van Gelderen sent in some gnarly pics of a wild day on Friday 19th on the West Coast of the Emerald Isle. This one seems to sum up the hardcore conditions best.
Oisin said ' Unfortunately the camera didn't focus, as there was so much spray - but I think you get the picture of how manic it was. It was just a bit chunky...3.6m FLY maxed on 68l Twinser. I think I'm going to have to get a 3.2 Zone for the windy days'.
Respect to Oisin for braving it alone, but why on earth he didn't dare hit that section is just beyond me...
Kev Pritchard posted some fun pics from Thailand. No sailing shots though. Will we get to see some snaps of prototypes? Doubt it.
MauiSails are celebrating their 30th Anniversary. Congratulations guys and thanks for the History lesson.
Here's some video outtakes from the last Boards test team trip. There was another movie posted but it's been removed.
Nikos sent a [Steghsegelrevue] link to some pics of a great wavesailing session in Greece. Thanks Nikos.

Hi Alessio - Well you'll be made more than welcome to come and sail in Ireland when you're a bigtime PWA pro one of these days....or even if you are not. Maybe there'll be an event there one day?
