ELEMENT by FLUID / ONE MORE SURFKAYAK

FLUID ELEMENT / O SURFKAYAK SUL-AFRICANO



A sul africana Fluid teve honras de capa na publicação da Kayak Session que apresenta as maiores novidades para o mercado mundial de 2010. Lá está o Element em grande destaque e a Fluid a assumir o kayaksurf como uma importante área de investimento. O Element é um surfkayak para ondas estáticas por natureza... não propriamente para o oceano (tal como a Fuid assume). No entanto, aqui fica o merecido destaque. Esta revista - vendida separadamente da normal edição da KS - é uma bíblia para quem quer saber tudo sobre o mercado de 2010. Já estamos fartos de a folhear e há sempre novidades!

Este Element, apesar de produzido em plástico, dá show nas ondas salgadas. Já o tínhamos adicionado à nossa secção KAYAKSURF VIDEOS em Julho deste ano onde regista mais de 300 visualizações. É bom para os homens do freestyle que também gostam de fazer umas ondas. Vejam o vídeo de baixo e saibam porquê...

This cover from last "Buyer's Guide" edited by Kayak Session shows us the Element - the surfkayak from Fluid. Like the south-african brand presents "Naturally, the Element is designed for waves, not holes. But it is not confined to ocean waves. A lot of effort has gone into making sure the Element works equally well on river waves, both small and big ones. If you live at the coast, the Element is the perfect tool to experience some real speed, while also giving you the opportunity to throw freestyle moves in ways you’ve never done before". One more alternative in the market for those who like to "freestyle" in the waves! Check out the video...

NORTHERN IRELAND TEAM / JONNY RIPPING!

JONNY BINGHAM EM GRANDE ESTILO / FOTOS DE ANDY HILL



Mais duas fotos de luxo com o surf potente da Irlanda do Norte. Dessie McGlinchey sugeriu-nos as imagens porque, para além de serem fantásticas, foram tiradas por um dos nomes grandes do surf irlandês: Andy Hill. O craque sagrou-se seis vezes campeão norte-irlandês de surf e tem a fotografia como grande hobby.

The pics are taken by Andy Hill 6 times irish surfing champion. The rider is Jonny Bingham surfing somewhere in Northern Ireland. Great rides with the new Mega Boost!


Thanks Dessie!

ARMOR WAVESKI EUROPA CUP 2010

ARMOR WAVESKI EUROPA CUP 2010 / MARCAR NO CALENDÁRIO!



O site está em reconstrução mas Fred Jonneaux já nos enviou o cartaz para o próximo grande evento do waveski francês. O "Penn Kalet Trophy", decorre em Plouhinec, Bretanha Francesa e, para 2010, está já agendada a ARMOR EUROPA CUP WAVESKI. Esta prova estará integrada no festival de Pen Kallet e Plouhinec é, para muitos, a meca do waveski europeu. São dezenas de raiders em várias categorias e Mathieu Babarit a apadrinhar grande parte da nova geração de participantes no evento. Fica a sugestão de mais uma prova com o apoio do kayaksurf.net!

One more to mark on the calendar for 2010! It will run during the next Penn Kalet Trophy and all are invited by Fred Jonneaux (one of the organizers). The Armor Europa Cup Waveski will be in 22-23 & 24th of MAY 2011. Check out the program sent by Fred:
------------

Armor Europa Cup Waveski 2010

ESKA NEWS / WORLDS 2011 and OTHER EVENTS

ASSOCIAÇÃO DE KAYAKSURF DA COSTA ESTE / NEWS PARA 2010 e MUNDIAL 2011

É lá que se vai realizar o próximo mundial de kayaksurf e a ESKA (Associação de Kayaksurf da Costa Este), já divulgou o calendário do próximo ano. Todas as provas servirão de "estágio" para o Mundial de 2011. Joey Hall enviou-nos o calendário e convida-nos a comparecer numa das provas de 2010 em jeito de antevisão do Mundial.

NEWS from ESKA! Check out the calendar for 2010 and choose the events. Great chance to surf on the stage of next Worlds!

----------

Plans for the ESKA 2010 Circuit

National Surf Kayak Championships, Battle for Hatteras, etc.

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 Joey!

JALAMA EXPRESSION SESSION 2009

Randy Phillips report

Jalama kicked off Thursday afternoon with Tao Berman and me as we began our practice sessions for kayak tow-ins with the Red Bull PWC (personal water craft).

Friday the early surf crew started to filter into Jalama with a great session to be had at “T’s” (aka Tarantulas) in the morning. The report was that solid 8’ faces were rule of the day on the right-handers with the board surfers giving our butt surfers lots of room to do their thing. Sat. surf had decreased to shoulder high with good conditions in the morning denigrating in the afternoon to 8’ wind blown storm surf – perfect for more tow–in practice. Look for the still photos (by Jim Grossman) of Tao and Vince getting air on some crazy tow-outs. Around 35 people attended the Class V Surf Dogs BBQ Sat. night with the now famous Broken Paddle Margaritas flowing as freely as the surf related B.S.

The evening was topped off by Taylor’s videos of the day’s surf highlights being shown to the hearty crew around the campfire. Sunday morning dawned with near perfect conditions and 4 – 6’ A framed peaks and a nice offshore wind to groom them to perfection. It was an appropriate way to bring to close the 13th annual Jalama Expression Session. Thanks to all who attended. Randy & Mickey.

JALAMA EXPRESSION SESSION 2009

by Vince Shay

The event was awesome as per usual thanks to Randy Phillips, Mickey Stowell and the rest of the Class V Surfdogs. I showed up early Saturday and I was ready to surf the Reaction. I was greeted some really fun 2-4 foot waves right at the camp area. Some had gone down to Tarantulas, but, I figured 'Why paddle all the way down there" for I had all these fun looking waves to myself! A super fun time and others finally got out that and got some.

Later that Saturday good ol' Tao Berman showed us how it was done doing some tow in practice. Not an easy day for that! Choppy and just plain difficult to even hold on, much less get some big air. Fun nonetheless, though, and I am very sure we gave the 'Peanut Gallery' something to watch.

These photos are from the session that Taylor Burch, Matt Radis, Ian (From HB), Tao Berman, Jim Grossman, and Randy Phillips had on Sunday morning. Really NICE waves and it was really Jim who got a really nice aerial!

Nice job to all and cannot wait for next year!
