KAYAKSURF & WAVESKI TOW IN WITH VINCE SHAY & FLETCHER BURTON by South Swell Knights

KAYAKSURF & WAVESKI TOW IN COM VINCE SHAY & FLETCHER BURTON BY South Swell Knights



Foi em 2007 que Vince Shay - NEWS TEAM EUA Costa Oeste - nos enviou uma sequência de fotos que deixou tudo e todos de boca aberta. Grandes aéreos... no Boatertalk a discussão foi imediata - "Será que ele voou tão alto sem ajuda?", questionavam. Claro que não. Vince Shay contou com a ajuda de um jet-ski e o vídeo aqui está para recordar a façanha. Em baixo, as fotos da "controvérsia" ;)

It was in 2007 that Vince Shay sent us some amazing photos with huge aerials. At the time, everybody discussed if Vince didn't have some "help"... of course that Vince was joking with us and, a few days after, the mistery was solved. A jet-ski helped him! Here is the video to remember that adventure. Below, the first photos.

The production of this video is from South Swell Knights (SSK). SSK is a 2009 Paddle Surf Movie designed to promote the sports of Waveski and Surf Kayak Surfing. It features the 2008 US Nationals for Waveski and Surf Kayak along with several other features we think you will enjoy. This video is free to own, free to view, and free to copy and share.

NEWS FROM ESKA / 2010 CIRCUIT, NATIONALS, HATTERAS, ETC

NOTÍCIAS DA COSTA ESTE / CALENDARIZAÇÃO DAS PROVAS 2010


Spencer Cooke enviou-nos as novidades da costa Este dos EUA. É lá que irá realizar-se o próximo Campeonato Mundial de Kayaksurf e, a julgar pelo calendário da ESKA para 2010, já há muitos treinos à vista!

Spencer Cooke sent us the NEWS from ESKA. The next Worlds will be there and, as we can see by their calendar for 2010, there will lot's of trainning sessions on the East Coast of USA! Check out the news:

NEWS ESKA

Here are some details on the plan for the official 2010 Eastern Surf Kayak Association event circuit. There is already a lot of excitement and interest in events for next year, leading up to the 2011 World Surf Kayak Championships, to be held in OBX, NC in the fall of 2011.

These events will be used as part of the selection process for the 2011 US East Surf Kayak Team, and we will be offering beginner, intermediate, and advanced categories at all events when possible.

Our tentative plan for 2010 is as follows, dates TBD:

February 2010:
Jacksonville, Florida Event at Hannah Park

March 2010:
Charleston, South Carolina Event at Folly Beach

May 2010:
Topsail Island, North Carolina Event

September 2010:
The 2010 US National Surf Kayak Championships and Battle for Hatteras:
Once again the US National Surf Kayak Championships return to the east coast. With the World Championships occurring on the Outer Banks of North Carolina in fall of 2011, we plan on holding the 2010 Nationals in the same location, in order to test some systems, and do a bit of a “dress rehearsal” for the Worlds.

In addition, we will be running the much postponed Battle for Hatteras team event in conjunction with the 2010 US National Surf Kayak Championships. The Battle for Hatteras will feature teams of three (one HP kayak, one IC kayak, and one waveski) facing off against each other.

The 2010 National Surf Kayak Championships and Battle for Hatteras will occur over a four day period, likely in early September. Though this is a “US” event, we would like to extend the invitation to surf kayakers all over the world to come participate in the Nationals and the Battle for Hatteras.

October 2010:
Topsail Island, North Carolina Event

November 2010:
New Smyrna, Florida Event

There may be more events added to this list in the near future. Dates will be set in the coming months, and we will also have some other exciting news to announce soon.

We are also planning on holding 6-8 events during the 2011 lead up to the World Surf Kayak Championships.

More info soon. Check back at http://eskasurf.com/


Thanks Spence!

WATERTECH NOS EUA/COSTA ESTE



Mike Simpson é o director da Osprey Sea Kayak Adventures nos EUA (costa Este) e representa agora a Watertech. No passado fim de semana, Mike e Rob conduziram 14 horas até à Carolina do Norte para uma demonstração das novas máquinas da W. Tanto Mike como Rob são instrutores Nível III de kayaksurf pela Associação Americana de Canoagem (Level 3 ACA surf instructors). Em baixo podem ver mais sobre perfil destes dois craques. Mais máquinas da W na água!

Mike Simpson, Director of Surf Kayaking at Osprey Sea Kayak Adventures USA, sent us some photos from the demo WATERTECH boats session in North Carolina, last weekend of September 26th. He and Rob Fisher are Level 3 ACA surf instructors and now, with the new Watertech machines, the surf will be even better ;) Rob Fischer and Mike made 14 hour drive so folks can saw these designs!



Mike Simspon: Director of Surf Programs

Mike realized in 1989 while swimming a surfboard down Gore Canyon of the Colorado river, that a kayak seemed more fun than getting beat up on a surfboard.Mike followed the snow in the Colorado Rockies and chased the snow melt down the raging rivers of the West for 12 years.
In 2000,on a Colorado River trip through the Grand Canyon,he met a group of Surf Kayak Crazies. The rest is history. Surf Kayaking and coaching have become his life.

2002 MTI TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS. 2ND PLACE NATIONAL CHAMP
2003 US EAST TEAM MEMBER WORLD SURF KAYAK CHAMPIONSHIPS EASKY,IRELAND
2004 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS DAVENPORT,CA 5TH PLACE
2005 US EAST TEAM COACH MUNDIAL PURA VIDA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS COSTA RICA 3RD PLACE
2005 PRESENT SURFING WAVES AND RUNNING RIVERS



Rob Fisher: Assistant Director of Surf Programs

Rob has been a part of the Osprey family from the very beginning. He is a south coast local who knows all the best paddling spots. His natural athleticism, local knowledge and easy-going personality make him an exceptional instructor. Rob is not only a talented sea and surf kayaker, but also an excellent board surfer and a triathlete. He has been away for a few seasons so we are super excited to have him back.
