Kauli in Peru

Kauli Seadi sent in an update that’s gonna get you all booking flights immediately…

“Between the 20th July to 24th July we had the South American Championships in Peru at a spot called Lobitos.

I was very surprised with the amount of windsurfers that came from 5 countries to take part.

I'm super impressed how consistent the wave-riding conditions have been.  

The place is just a machine of conditions…perfect long waves and side-offshore winds blowing around 20 knots everyday.

I'm staying on for a few days extra to film some action with UMI Pictures.  It's amazing that there’s bay after bay with good waves and wind.”

Art for Art's Sake

I'm in a Thursday arvo, hurry-up-the-weekend daze. Maybe you will be too?

What a shot and what a Blog from Pozo Pro Photographer Dani Miguel.

Looks like these guys have a lot of fun surfin' and sailin' together - and on the Med too.

Yes. You're right. I've been drifting through a load of Blogs looking for ones with arty shots and a wholesome feel.

Aaarrgh watch out - Killer Fish! (Personally I wouldn't trust any shaper who didn't wear a Ramones T-Shirt. Would you?)

Finally, WIND magazine invite you to snap out of being mellow with some snaps of World Cup Slalom Superstars Albeau and Buzianis testing JP Australia Prototypes in South Africa and a super-radical UMI Pictures video of Ricardo Campello at Pozo.

I think I'll take the Air Taka or Goyta Poll down after the weekend so please watch the video and vote now in the Poll to the right before I remove it Monday morning. Thanks!

Shut Down

***EDIT*** The link apearing here earlier to a story regarding the alleged retirement of PWA Freestyle sailor Normen Gunzlein has been removed at Normen Günzlein's personal request.

Günzlein stated that the Q&A interview with him that  appeared on windsurfersmag.de was factually incorrect and has demanded that it also be removed. 

In the meantime I have asked that Normen clarify the situation directly for you himself on these pages as soon as possible.

Here's some hope for the next generation  - according to WIND magazine (French language) Camille Juban has finally earned entry to the PWA Cabo Verde World Cup.

Get bidding people - it's for charity.

Island life.

More Go Pro action from GP.

Totally Twisted...

A week or two ago I forgot to mention this UMI Pictures video of Victor Fernandez in Brazil on Boardseeker. Watch out for more from UMI in the coming weeks.

Windsurf Journal have an exclusive interview with Karin Jaggi. Here's the Google translated page.
