Trip Tour

 Congratulations to Yoli De Brendt - voted Athlete of the Year by the University of Margarita.

 The Wave Classic Tour has changed it's name to Wave Classic Invitational to avoid confusion with surfing's World Championship Tour (WCT) and stress it's a 'trip tour' not a rival to the PWA Tour.

They're also asking for PayPal donations towards their running costs in bringing the media coverage online.

Shark Eat Seal World

What a marathon. Well done to this guy in Western Oz. I wonder if he saw any Sharks?

Miami Windsurfing interview Formula and PWA Slalom Racer Wilhelm Schurmann who just sharked his way to victory at the North American Championships. "Shark takes out Miami Dolphins"

David sailed over a Tiger Shark. It's at the end of the clip. David said "On the day that GP had the "seal" incident on the rocks, I sailed right over a 8-10 foot Tiger shark - and caught my "oh shit" on the GoPro on my boom.

When GP picked me up that night to drop me off at the airport to depart Maui, we were both "Dude! You wouldn't believe my encounter with mother nature today!" Yikes.

Sounds like the Sharks got plenty of Seals to eat anyway. And Sea Lions...

More from the Quick Interview Blog. Todays it's Brawzinho's turn.

RRD have launched an 'insider's' Blog. It's a bit K*^&surfy for me though. Hopefully Sharks prefer those guys dangling in the water.

Here's some crazy board re-cycling project. A lesson to us all perhaps?

GP Cammaro's been slicing and dicing his old boards and enjoying the results so why not? A fair few PWA riders have 'adjusted' their boards fairly crudely too...but never on the strict production-only Racing tour of course...

Anyone else got any good re-shaping success or diaster stories?

Shaka Sir
