Maybe I should've put these boards inside before it snowed and froze over? I guess it's that cold in the cargo hold of a plane right?
Good news. The waves on Maui will be a little less crowded around photoshoot time this Spring.
The Bad news. Starboard and Severne won't be there to gather images of their new equipment. It's OK. There's more good news. WIND mag report that the two brands have more or less already completed their shoot in Western Australia and plan another in Bonaire.
WooHoo. (Hope there's more of the same from the 14th onwards...)
Spanish PWA rider Rafael Cervero wants you to check out his Freestyle video. Thanks Rafa.
Isn't she a beauty? And not a Quad-fin in sight.
I agree. Winter Rocks. Apart from when you gotta dust snow off your gear.

We've got another T-Shirt winner too. Congratulations Rob Hennessy who correctly answered that Fanatic's shaper Seb Wenzel has been using CAD since 2004.
Rob said "I'm a student so I've run out of clean Ts and I can't be bothered to do my laundry".
Great reason Rob - you've got yourself another days wear. I'll be in contact about the details.

Looks like I got it wrong earlier about the 'Surfer of the Year' awards from the Dusseldorf 'Boot' Boat Show. Bernd Flessner did win but 'only' the German National Award. (Check MadWindsurf for a visitor's report on the show itself).
The International Award went to Bjorn Dunkerbeck (pictured above). Bjorn has also just been voted onto the Speedsailing Hall of Fame
Here's a shot of BF and BD receiving their awards, as voted for at Surf Magazine (German), and making their acceptance speeches. Many thanks to Thorsten Niehaus from Windcraft Sports for the information and snaps.
ContinentSeven also have a link to a video of Bjorn on his new Code Red sails. Make sure you check all the other videos there from Jaeger Stone, Boujmaa Guillol and Mikey Clancey too .

Apparently the 'Downwind Dash' debacle may nearly be over. Prizegiving is tomorrow night in Cape Town and we'll have to see if the 'winner' , Ross Williams - the first to cross the finish line, is in fact the winner. I'm sure he and many others are spewing at this major league mix-up.
Please leave any links to other news in the Comments Section below. Thanks.
