Firstly, remember this is the last day of the 'Air Taka or Goiter' Poll to the right. Here's the clip before you vote. Thanks.
GP hit da harbor and sailed a light Maui Kona wind too.
Kev Pritchard confirmed that with such sketchy Konas it all didn't quite go to plan.
Tatiana Howard clicked-off a couple of snaps of that surf for you too.

Press Release
RICARDO CAMPELLO OPENS “CAMPELLO WIND CENTER” IN EL YAQUE, MARGARITA
As promised the “Campello Wind Center” is now open! Everything is set up in El Yaque to start welcoming new guests. It’s been a lot of work but I’m satisfied with the results. All is focused to give the best service and most enjoyable experience for windsurfing and kitesurfing.
The center is equipped with the latest JP Neilpryde kit, from beginner until freestyle/wave boards and a variety of sails that will satisfy clients demands. We offer daily instruction for complete beginners to advanced and also I will be organizing clinics throughout the year. Where clients will receive pro training from myself and other pro windsurfers.
El Yaque is windy most of the time but if you fancy taking a day off we have a number of options. These include kayaking, mountain biking, surfing, trekking, horse riding, island tours, snorkeling, swimming with dolphins, go-karting and trips to the beautiful island of Coche and Cubagua. We also host ”WINDSURFING NIGHT SUPER SESSION” at Ipanema Beach Bar, where you can see all the pros in action at night while enjoying a BBQ and live bands as well as all kind of international food. Once a week we’ll also have a competition with all the guests and prizes!
We can arrange accommodation within El Yaque to suit all needs, check the list below.

Crikey if you've got this far you'd agree that's enough for now. It's St. Patricks Day tomorrow which is a Public Holiday here in Ireland, so I might not be online :) Thanks for reading.
What is it with the 'brother's' theme today?
Anyway. 'Tropical' Ireland gifted Finn Mullen some nice surf. (17ft@18 secs out to sea - the hood's just for the sun protection..honest.)
But 'balmy' England had snow showers and snow drifts on the way to the beach in mind for his younger bro Timo to contend with today.
Was it worth it? "3/4 ft offshore at K Bay? You bet!" he said.
Here's some more recent UK winter waves in Cornwall courtesy of photo portfolio site Guavajelly. (Tip - check the South Coast reef action shots in the '08 gallery.)
Tatiana Howard needs to study harder and concentrate more...bet this is what GP was like in Skool.
Here's that Samba movie trailer again if you missed it before.
PWA Freestyler Yoli De Brendt has a new video coaching system for you.
Everyone's ready and waiting at Cotillo beach for the Fuerteventura Wave Classic.
Meanwhile in the South of France they're running waves at the first AFF event of 2009.
..and you can win a surf (not windsurfing) trip to Morocco with Xoxxi. (departing London.)
