1º Encontro de Surf a Remo
por Bruno Guazzelli Filho

O domingo do Encontro de Surf a Remo na Riviera de São Lourenço em Bertioga foi um lindo dia de sol e não faltou curtição nas ondas, que chegaram até 1 metro nas maiores séries do dia.

Dentre a galera do surf a remo estiveram presentes os Kayaksurfers, os Waveskiers e os Stand Upers, e todos puderam conferir a novidade que tanto se comentava, o Shark Paddle Surf.

Até os cadeirantes presentes no Programa Praia Acessível puderam desfrutar não só do sabor de um banho de mar nas cadeiras anfíbias cedidas pela PMB e pelo Governo do Estado de SP, mas também o sabor de correr as ondas num caiaque duplo com cadeiras adaptadas, tudo para o maior conforto e segurança deles. Foi um dia inesquecível para este pessoal que declarou jamais terem se imaginado passear num caiaque duplo naquele lindo cenário e mais ainda, surfar aquelas ondas, deixando aquele gostinho de "quero mais" a todos eles. Realmente foi pra não sair mais da memória de quem presenciou estes momentos emocionantes supervisionados por profissionais da Therácqua Terapia Aquática, além de salva-vidas, surfistas de plantão e Terapeutas Ocupacionais da AVAPE de São Bernardo do Campo.



Os organizadores do evento agradecem o apoio da CBCa, RPF Kayaks, Board House Surf & Skate, Kayaksurf.net, Focosurf.com.br, Caiaker Caiaques, Tombo Beach, Roots Brazil Acessories, Multiarq Comunicação Visual, Escola de Surf Cantão e um agradecimento especial à cobertura efetiva da Rota dos Tubos Videoprodutora, TV Tribuna Santos e Tablas TV.

Obrigado a todos e até breve, pois falta menos de um mês para a Primeira Etapa do Circuito Brasileiro de Canoagem Onda 2011 que será realizada em Fortaleza-CE, dias 21 e 22 de maio na Praia do Futuro.

Valeeeu Galeeera !!!

Atenciosamente

Bruno Guazzelli Filho



Obrigado Bruno!

"Vivi uma das experiências mais marcantes, emocionante e diferente de tudo que já fiz no surf! Foram 8 dias embarcada no no rio Araguari com a equipe liderada pelo recordista mundial de tempo da onda na selva, o brasileiro Serginho Laus e acompanhada de surfistas extremamente experientes, utilizando prancha, longboard, stand up, alaya e claro, eu de caiaque! Foi a primeira vez de uma caiaque na maior das pororocas, de uma mulher surfando de caiaque na selva amazônica e também a maior variedade e equipamentos na mesma onda."

Esperem pelo report!! Em breve, nova matéria sobre a mesma onda!!

Roberta Borsari, NEWS TEAM kayaksurf.net and Mega Flying Squad, never stops ;) After Havaii in December, she surfed this month the powerfull Pororoca wave (Amazonia, Brasil).

KAYAKSURF UK / 3rd Course by Steve Bowens

Kayaksurf UK / Mais uma formação sobre kayaksurf por Steve Bowens



Decorreu nos dias 9 e 10 de Abril e contou com quatro canoístas. O curso é de três estrelas - de acordo com as definições britânicas. Steve Bowens, NEWS TEAM kayaksurf.net, foi o formador. Fica o report que nos enviou ;)

Four kayakers from the south west just completed their 3* Surf course with Steve Bowens (Falmouth Marine School), England. The group included: Mike McDonalad who is a students studying Marine Sport Science at Falmouth Marine School, Andrew Fowler from St Austell Canoe Club, Laura Williams and Martin Schneerberger who are from Elemental UK. Steve belongs to our NEWS TEAM and here is his report ;)

3* Surf kayak course on 9th / 10th April
report by Steve Bowens

4 kayakers from the south west just completed their 3* Surf course with Steve Bowens (Falmouth Marine School)

The group included: Mike McDonalad who is a students studying Marine Sport Science at Falmouth Marine School, Andrew Fowler from St Austell Canoe Club, Laura Williams and Martin Schneerberger who are from Elemental UK.

They all wanted to develop their skills in the surf so as they could feel confident to make the most of the fantastic beaches around Cornwall.

The courses run on the 9th & 10th April at Gwithian beach. The group met on Saturday morning over a mug of tea in the Sunset surf cafe to go through the 3* syllabus and set individual goals for the weekend. The goals ranged from improving top and bottom turns for Andrew to catching her first ever waves in a kayak for XXXXXXX

The group were blessed with warm sunshine and small perfectly formed surf for both days, everyone reached and superseded the goals they had set themselves and have set a new goal to take part in their first surf kayak contest this summer, so I can’t wait to see them all out there strutting their stuff.

Mike said “I am putting myself onto every course which I can through the marine school and pushing to gain as much as possible from the course. This weekend has really helped me to apply my board riding knowledge to kayak surfing and I loved every minute of it. I want to start to get out more in the surf in a kayak now and work on my action plan so as I can take part in the student surf kayak championships at the end of the month”.
(Ed this is on the 27th look here: http://kernowsurfkayakcontest.blogspot.com)

Steve Bowens said: “The 3 star surf course is a fantastic introduction to the sport of surf kayaking, these guys progressed so much over the two days and they were catching wave after wave and beaming from ear to ear on the second day. Falmouth Marine School are again running the student surf kayak championships on the 27th April and we now have 3 more contestants who will be there showing off their skills. The student championships are very much an inclusive event to encourage as many student kayaks as possible to come along and have fun surfing as much as hard core competing. We run a friendly format with heats where everyone surfs at least twice and every time you surf it adds points for your university or college so even if you come last in each heat you are increasing your institutions points!”

COUPE DE FRANCE à CROZON-MORGAT
Sun and waves, big level,… all we needed !
by Fred Jonneaux



This week end was organized our 1st National Waveski Circuit competition, in Crozon-Morgat (Brittany). Nice sun, good waves, and big level : Virgile Humbert (Junior Worldchampion), Coralie Jousset (France ladies Champion) and a few other top riders were there, between 40 other competitors coming from all west parts of France.
Very good news on the registration : 9 ladies were confirmed for the competition, and around 10 new young riders were there for the first competition !

Waves were supposed to be growing from 1 meter to more than 2 meters, so we started the young and Ladies categories heats , to make sure it would not be too hard for the riders that begin in competition.

In Young category (12 and 13 years old), 3 riders were competing. For 2 of the mit was the first competition, so Baptiste Escola, who competes since last year got the first place. Then came the senior (18 years old and more) category. and the Junior (in France, Junior is for riders of 16 and 17 years old).

Ladies got the final heat at the end of the day, in good waves around 1,50 m. Coralie Jousset (France Ladies Champion) was fighting against Olivia Floch, Elise Gaborit and Emilie Jonneaux. Olivia is back on the competition after a year off. But two years ago, she was on the world top5 in ladies, and tried to make the show on the ladies final. But Coralie was more radical and found better waves. Emilie just try to get a place on the podium, but she begins on the national circuit, and didn’t have enough experience to beat Elise. Next time, maybe…

On Cadet category (14 and 16 years old), Nathan Le Bars was against Maxime Gaborit (European Cadet Champion), Ludovic Sterlin and Timothé Fountaine. Maxime didn’t manage any good wave, Nathan was much better on small conditions and won the final quite easily.

On Sunday, the day started in fat waves around two meters. The Open category started,
and in the middle of the day run the Junior Final, with Mathieu Jonneaux (Watertech Team) against Pablo Arrouays, Tristan Thiery and Louis Darnaud. Mathieu immediatly choose the better waves and realized several radical manoeuvers. Pablo and Louis tried to come back on the score, but Mathieu found some big and long waves, pushing his better surf and won the final.

In Senior category happened something just amazing : during the semi final heat, Pierre Ortega managed to eliminate Virgile Humbert and Clément Guilbert, who are both on the world top 10 !

Mathieu Jonneaux and Pablo Arrouays were both eliminated on the Open semi-final. Ma
The Open final was really difficult : low tide, small and rare waves, the riders were 3 guys from Guadeloupe Island : Maël Divialle, Virgile Humbert, Clément Guilbert, and… Maxime Gaborit (15 years old).

The competition ended in a very good atmosphere, as usual. The National French Waveski circuit will probably be a success before August, because most of the best competitors who will come for the Worlds in Portugal compete now for training. Next National competition in France : May 28th-29th in Siouville (Normandy), (reported dates of the competition that could not ber un on March 5th-6th because of bad conditions)
