Super sad to hear about the Chile disaster - apparently Matanzas suffered really badly and I heard Robby Swift and Klaas Voget's places there were damaged but that they are OK. I've asked some of the locals for details and will keep you up-to-date on the news and how we can assist - but I'm sure going to Chile to spend money and aid the recovery will be a pretty good way to help.
EDIT/UPDATE: Saw this [German Language] post on Swift/Fernandez/Voget. (Tip: Use Google translate.)
Also, glad Maui survived the no-show Tsunami. We also hope everyone in SW France and Portugal are OK too after the weekend's terrible storms and flooding.
OK loads to get through here we go...
North Shore Maui got more swell than the Tsunami-expectant south.

Some weekend and last-week session pics from La Fitenia and North Shore Tenerife with Alex Mussolini, Dany Bruch and loads of hot local sailors at WindsurfingTenerife.com. That's Jochen who sent them in pictured above at La Fitenia. Thanks Jochen.
Timo Mullen avoided flooding in the UK and scored a fun little sesh at Praa Sands in Cornwall. Check out these pics he sent in.
The Wave Classic Invitational Morocco is confirmed for May.
Lithuanian rider Girmantas has a new Blog covering his travels - he just scored some waves in the Sea of Cortez.
A solid endorsement for Bonaire Freestyler and MC Ruben Petrisie from Josh Angulo...not bad coming from a buddy of Jack Johnson!

Really hope that they are OK in Chile.
