I've heard from a couple of sources now that Mistral have 'let go' their shaper Mark Nelson, although I have received no official confirmation or denial from Boards&More regarding this.
We've obviously heard that their star rider Brawzinho's signed a double deal with Boards&More for the Fanatic and North brands, and I'm not sure who's the incumbent Brand Manager there after Donald Sholz left in the summer.
Let's hope this is not the last we see of one of Windsurfing's most famous marques, and that the current economic crisis can mark the start of a new era for them.
(There's further discussion on this including input from Fanatic's Brand manager Craig Gertenbach at the Boards magazine forum.)
It's good news and a fresh start for The OTC in Tenerife - hopefully your support and petition signing has helped them re-open.
Expect to see happy customers shortly and their expertise in equipment testing in magazines worldwide soon.
GP's Maui Blog went back to the beginning and investigates some ancient boards - and even mentions The Beach Telegraph! Thanks GP. Great work and we're looking forward to more Maui insight as son as you're better. (There's a forcast for massive swell coming too so maybe we can expect some great action shots any day now.)
Please check back in for more later. In the meantime, if you’ve got any nuggety news, sneak previews, ideas, rumours or opinions to share then please send them to [email protected] or leave a comment below. Thanks.
