JEM HALL & NEW RRD FSW - BIG LOVE

we love the new fsw : )

I've sailed the 108, 102 and 96, and 84 now and all ripping and the customers (of all levels and weights) love them too

The firemove 100 compares best to the Fsw v2 108 with the firemove having less vee and feeling more racey and slightly wider so it is slightly earlier to plane and faster in medium winds. The fsw is better in top end control and looseness and as a larger wave or bump n jump board.

The bigger Firemoves are like oversized racy FSWs, in that they go fast and plane early, yet their thinness and tail widths give them great gybing and you and you can even jump them.

The smaller new fsws like the 102, 96 and 84 (not sailed the 90 yet) keep the wide / thin / short shape and feel like larger boards in terms of stability and planing, but turn like much smaller boards. They have the straight line feel of the firemove with its control and smoothness, yet their shortness and thin rails give them great riding and gybing. When you jump them you really notice how short they are as they so fun in the air. They look and feel so much more new school compared to the previous FSW incarnations.

Ellen Bauwens Belgian champion again

johnskye.com News: No wind Sylt

Unfortunately it looks like, once again, we used all the wind up in
Klitmoller. The Sylt forecast is looking shocking for the week ahead.
Yesterday was the best chance and there was barely enough wind to
start the racers. Obviously you never know here in Sylt as things can
change quickly, but at the moment it only looks good for a cruise on
the paddle board.

Marion Dusart participated in the World Championship slalom in Hyères
Almanarre from 7 to 12 September. For its first world, she finished 9th.
« For my first participation in a World Championship, I finished 9th
overall. In both satisfied and disappointed, I knew that the week of
the race, only Thursday would be the more windy and that i had to do
my best this day. The wind capricious, between 9 and 13 knots, only
two races have been completed. Unfortunately for me with a second
position in final loser and a 5th position in final winner, 9th
overall! this event allowed me to assess my level of a first world
championship. I hope that the next worldchampionship will be windy.
Congratulations to Delphine Cousin who won this championship, and for
the Team Funboard, William Alikiagalelei youth world champion and Jean
Le Bot, 3th in junior. Now, I focus on the next and final stage of
french championship in October in Six-Fours. »

Garat: Report PKRA Brasil

I was in Barra do Cunhau, in the North of Brasil, last week, for the 6th PKRA event 2011.
I came a bit earlier with my mate Tom Hebert to train. The spot there is in a Rivermouth and in low tide the spot is very flat and perfect to practice and learn new tricks.
The week before was host a national event, and we could appreciate the really high level of the Brazilians.

For the 2nd time since a few years, I had to pass trough the trial before entering the main event. Because of my 2 last bad results in Fuerte and Germany. ( 17th...), I was ranked 13th, as only the top 8
is pre qualified.
I knew that it was going to be a tough competition after seeing riding the local rippers.
I managed to qualified myself on my 2nd heat of the trials, winning against Eric Volpe during the first day of competition. I was the "host of the day" of the Extreme Elements movie report from Day 1.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqsZcwPjaoc

On the 2nd day, we started the 2 first round of the single elimination. I passed my first heat against a Brazilian : Fernandez. I had a pretty good one to start the comp, riding on my 10,5 Obsession Pro, perfect in the 15-20 knots...

I was up in the 2nd round against Reno Romeu, an other Brazilian PKRA Rider. I was overmotivated to score this one again. Still riding my 10,5. I had a pretty good start of heat, and was confident, but Then I realized that Reno lost his kite. So I was sure to pass this one again, advancing to the 1/4.
On the 3rd day was the end of the single. I started against Alberto Rondina with a prefect heat landing almost every trick and advanced to the 1/2 final.

I met Alex Pastor in 1/2, but didn't ride as good as the heat before, and he's been riding very good. I went to the loosers final against Marc Jacobs that I lost too, getting a 4th place in the single.
In the double elimination, we could see how good the Brazilian are, and especially Carlos Madson, who is a local Rrd rider from Cumbuco.
 
He won 4 heats in row on the last day, defeating Hebert then Rondina before being against me. I wanted to go full power on this heat, as it's the only solution to win against him. It didn't worked as I
wanted, I crashed a few very powerful tricks. I was almost lit on my 9 and could'nt win against the Brazilian Ripper and lost one place on the final ranking, and finished 5th.

Then he won after again against Jacobs, and finally had still a very close heat against Pastor but in the Advantage of Pastor.
I knew that this event was really important for me and for the final ranking. I was 13th before the Brazil event with 2 17th places on the last events. This result made me climb from the 13th to the 7th place
as we were all with a really small point difference.
I've been really impressed by the level of the Brazilian, especially Madson who landed some kite loop 720 in some heats, which is a really hard and technical trick, and doing all the tricks regular and switch
with no difference!
But there's also Eudazio da Silva and the Teixera Brother's are rippin too, riding Rrd kites.
Thomas Teixera saw me riding with the new Obsession Pro C kite, and after he tried once the 7, he took it nearly every days!
