WCSK11 / Kayaksurf Worlds 2011 in good hands ;)

O português Paulo Schmidt chefia os juízes no Mundial de Kayaksurf nos EUA


André, Jackie and Schmidt by kayaksurf.net

Já são caras bem conhecidas no nosso meio. Na foto de cima, André Delgado (que está neste momento no EuroSurf 2011 na Irlanda), Jackie Dillon (presidente da Ass. Mundial de Waveski) e Paulo Schmidt (habitual Chefe de Juízes no Ocean Spirit Festival juntamente com Nuno "Fera" Gomes). Ora, enquanto André está a ajuizar na Irlanda, Paulo Schmidt está a chefiar os juízes no Mundial de Kayaksurf dos EUA.

Recorde-se que, tanto André como Schmidt, dirigiram o Mundial de Kayaksurf 2009 nas respectivas áreas e, uma vez mais, é com muito gosto que vemos esta equipa de trabalho a ser reconhecida além fronteiras. O André já dirigiu tecnicamente várias provas do CNKW e é o responsável pela elaboração no nosso ranking. Paulo Schmidt acumula também as mesmas experiências no nosso circuito mas, logicamente, na direcção de juízes.

Parabéns para ambos!! O kayaksurf.net deseja-vos um excelente trabalho... como habitualmente o desempenham ;)

Paulo Schmidt is in USA directing the judges team and André Delgado is in Ireland judging in the EuroSurf in Bundoran. They are both regular presences in our kayaksurf & waveski competitions in their working areas. Congratulations for both! Besides being very good friends, they are excellent professional in their activities. For both, kayaksurf.net wishes al the best in USA and Ireland!

CNKW11 / SOT Class / Video by Costa da Morte Kayaksurf

Vídeo da FINAL SOT / CNKW11 by Jose Piñeiro



Foi um dos heats mais disputados do dia ;) Gonçalo Duarte levou a mehor e optou pelo RPF Master. Deu cartas e obteve um dos melhores scores da prova. O Master é baseado no RPF Shark mas contempla uma filosofia mais aproximada das longboards. Fica o vídeo de José Piñeiro, NEWS TEAM kayaksurf.net e Club Kayaksurf Galiza. Muito bom!!

It was one of the best heats of last weekend contest in Figueira da Foz, Portugal. Gonçalo Duarte won this class surfing a RPF Master and it was a comproved right option (yellow bigger kayak). The Master is like the RPF Shark but a little longer with the profile of a longboard sit-on-top. The video was sent by Jose Piñeiro, NEWS TEAM kayaksurf.net and Club Kayaksurf Galiza (Spain). Enjoy it!

Simon Hammond

Surf Symposium 2011 Denmark
by Casper Gyldenberg

The weekend kicked off Friday evening when people began to check into. In the evening, Simon Hammond held a lecture about the way to become world champion. There sat many, listening and dreaming at the top of the podium at the world championships in kayak surfing. Saturday morning went so loose in the waves in Klitmøller Cold Hawaii where the day was on workshops, and plenty of comfort among the participants.

Hen of the day watching the rescue helicopter dropped by to take aerial images of surfers in the water. Really cool to get some surf pictures from a different angle. Sunday was on the DKF Surf Raid, another kayak surf competition on Danish soil. It was the unofficial Danish championship so surfers from Sweden may well participate. The day went really well and there were many exciting race in today's competition and you could see that the surfers were much better than the competition last year.

First place went to Petter Like Berg, Sweden, second place went to Lars Larsson and third place went to Dane David Tetzschner.

This competition has given the Danes something to train for, it can not be true that the Swedes will come and take almost all podium places in Denmark championships.

Mundial de Kayaksurf / 4º Report de Steve Farthing!


Sam Davenport by Random

Parece que o swell não está a ajudar na costa Este dos EUA... no dia de hoje (são menos cinco horas por lá em relação à nossa hora GMT) houve até protestos junto da organização. Neptuno tem que colaborar! Entretanto, parece que Sam Davenport está em grande forma. Fica mais um report recebido há minutos ;)

It seems that Neptune king is not working in USA East coast. Today, the swell was not so good but the event ran. Sam Davenport is in great shape and let's read one more report from Steve Farthing ;)

----------

Worlds Kayaksurf 2011 / USA
Report 4

The event kicked off today with the team event, conditions were barely contestable but everyone made the most off what was on offer. One of the standouts of the day was Sam Davenport from the English team convincingly wining both his heats.

Some of the Rest of the World team which was prevented from entering following a dubious protest decided to explore the the coastline for waves and found a punchy little 2 footer 10 miles south of the comp site.

Looks like we're back to the team event tomorrow here's hoping the surf picks up. Irish stew tonight, I think I'm becoming Irish. Until tomorrow. In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina.

World Championships of Surf Kayaking 2011
Report 3 by Steve Farthing

Mosquitoes will eat you alive in the carpark if you don't spray, just ask Paddy (potty) King, one scary place. Well the surf was pretty average today. I left it to the young guys to get their quota instead. Official things kicked off, boats were checked and the boys were getting the tape measures out. The team march started at 5 pm and the bloody mozzies came at us again arrrgghhhh. Official speeches were had followed by drinks and dinner at a terrific venue at Jennettes Pier.

Team delegates had their meeting and went on into the evening and was good to air everything out on the first night. The team event will start tomorrow, conditions will be small but improving in the next few days. Can't wait for some surfing action.

Steve reporting from the pier, Carolina on my mind

World Championships of Surf Kayaking 2011
Steve Farthing report

What's the "Craig"? Well if your Irish that would be "what's up". Irish slang is another language altogether and when your hanging out with the King family you have to learn fast. Well my new buddies finally made it here at 1am after an epic journey from Washington but in true Irish fashion they just laugh it off as another funny adventure.

Caught up with Chris Hobson and Sam Davenport today who'd scored a few good waves south of the comp site. Korin, Jake and myself also got a few small ones in front of the motel. Surf was smaller today but the weekend is still looking good. I heard on the grape vine that the Basque team have arrived and were tearing up the comp site today along with Stefano and Gabriel from Italy. All the action will start on Friday can't wait.

Reporting from Nags Head, North Carolina,

Steve



Thanks Steve, Darren and Corin|
