IRISH OPEN 2011
by Marty McCann

The IO ran off successfully on Saturday at Easkey left. A small turn out for both kayak and waveski divisions but the surfing was top notch. All riders where enjoying the waves and the relaxed atmosphere. Gerry McGahey ran the show with the help of Richard and Morgan.

Morgan O Sullivan is back on the ski after a lengthy period out of the water following a mountain bike accident. His surfing hasn't suffered though as he made it to the finals. Gerry Mcgahey surfed exceptionally well with powerful top to bottom surfing and winning the HP. Fantastic to see dessie McGlinchey surfing in the waveski division, watch this space.

A brilliant free surf session took place after the comp in even better conditions as the tide filled over the reef.

Roberta Borsari / Kayaksurf & SUP in Chicama, Peru

Mais uma aventura de Bebeta! Depois da Pororoca... Chicama no Peru ;)

Bom, depois da Pororoca - http://www.kayaksurf.net/RobertaPororoca.html - Bebeta foi até ao Perú para explorar a esquerda mais longa e famosa do mundo. A atleta da Mega Flying Squad e uma das grandes amigas do kayaksurf.net, vai dar-nos depois o report! Boa sorte amiga ;)

Well, after Pororoca - http://www.kayaksurf.net/RobertaPororoca.html - Roberta Borsari goes till the most famous and long left of the world. She will be surfing in Chicama (Peru) and then, we'll hava like usual a great report from our good friend. Good luck Bebeta!!

--------

A Top 10 mundial Roberta Borsari conhecerá, de caiaque e de SUP, na famosa Chicama com suas ondas de 1,5 quilômetros de extensão, no Peru



Depois de surfar a onda mais extensa do mundo em rio, a pororoca, a atleta Roberta Borsari tem agora um novo objetivo na carreira: desvendar a onda esquerda mais longa dos mares, no norte peruano. E o desafio já tem data marcada. No dia 1º de outubro, a brasileira desembarca no Peru para uma surftrip no imenso Pacífico.

"Chicama tem uma onda considerada um clássico do surfe. Ela é tão extensa que, depois de surfá-la, é preciso um bote para te resgatar para conseguir um bom aproveitamento dos treinos", contou a atleta. A onda do local pode chegar a mais de 1,5 quilômetros de extensão e dois metros de altura.

O Peru é mundialmente reconhecido pelas boas ondas e a ideia da brasileira é se aventurar no caiaque (sua especialidade) e também no Stand Up Paddle (SUP), modalidade que tem atraído adeptos por todo o mundo na qual o atleta fica em pé sobre uma prancha remando. "Explorar esse local com os equipamentos de remo será um enorme prazer", ressalta Borsari.

Para explorar os mistérios do país asteca, Roberta ficará no resort Chicama Surf, que oferece alguns mimos aos seus hóspedes como o SPA do local. Assim, quem quiser acompanhar os aventureiros e quer ficar confortavelmente instalado, o hotel oferece excelente infraestrutura turística.

Logo depois da surftrip, a atleta lançará oficialmente o seu novo site, no qual apresentará todas as emoções e o histórico de suas aventuras. E em novembro, Roberta participará do Campeonato Sul-Americano de Kayaksurf em Barra Velha, Santa Catarina.

Em abril, Borsari se tornou a primeira mulher do mundo a surfar de caiaque a Pororoca, no rio Araguari. A Pororoca ocorre em decorrência do encontro das águas do rio com o mar, formando imensas ondas. Top 10 no ranking mundial de kayaksurf, a atleta é a única mulher a correr o circuito nacional. Na canoagem em corredeiras foi a primeira mulher a descer vários rios do sudeste do país. Além disso, em 2009, tornou-se a primeira a surfar de caiaque as águas de Galápagos

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.

French National Waveski Circuit / Anglet 2011 by Fred Jonneaux

Circuito Francês de Waveski / Prova de Anglet by Fred Jonneaux


video by breizhriders TV

Fred Jonneaux, NEWS TEAM kayaksurf.net, envia-nos o "full" report (vídeo, fotos e resultados) da mais recente prova de waveski do circuito francês. Decorreu em Anglet no passado fim de semana e contou com a participação de nomes bem conhecidos. Para além de Mathieu Babarit, Caroline Angibaud ou Mathieu Jonneaux, também Edu Etxebrerria participou no evento. Chegou ao terceiro round do Open mas, como não pôde participar nas finais de segunda feira (feriado em França mas não no País Basco), Edu teve que regressar a casa. Fica o report!

It took place in Anglet (extreme SW of France) last week-end, for the last competition of French National Waveski circuit before the World titles. In France, June is an exams month, so very few Juniors and Cadets were registered. In Open, 21 entries. Anglet is very close from Basque Country, so Edu Etxeberria was invited to the competition, he came with two Juniors from his club. Edu reached the 3rd round in Open, but unfortunatly, the basque riders couldn't stay until monday (this monday is holiday in France). Take a look to the report of Fred Jonneaux, NEWS TEAM kayaksurf.net ;)

French National Waveski Circuit / Anglet 2011
by Fred Jonneaux

Manu Gendron, who is a great waveski rider, was the main organizer of the competition. On Saturday, waves were very small, but a few heats could be run in the morning. Then there was a break until tide comes lower, and another set of heats could be run from 4:00 p.m until... almost the night. On Saturday evening all riders had some good time around a meal in a small restaurant close to the spot.



Sunday morning : absolutly no waves...! Riders waited all day long, but there was not even a set of waves breaking on the shore. Manu Gendron was very calm, promising waves for the next day. On Monday morning we arrived at 7:00 a.m : wave sets were breaking on the spot. Competition went on : Open heats first, with man on man competition for the semi final and final. On the Open final, Mathieu Babarit made the big show, giving a waveski lesson : his first wave got 9 points, and he scored an amazing second wave that got 10 points ! MatBab, you are the boss !



Ladies final showed a real domination of Caroline Angibaud (World Champion) before Coralie Jousset (France Champion). She managed to surf the most powerful waves of the heat, with several radical manoeuvres that couldn't let any doubt about her victory.
Then came the Cadets final ; few waves, big shore break, Nathan Le Bars managed to surf two long waves with several manoeuvres, and won the heat.

In Junior final, Mathieu Jonneaux, kicked out during the second Open round, really wanted to make the show in the Junior final. He caught the two best waves and showed some powerful and radical surf, wining the final without any doubt.
Renan Leloutre, who lost the open final against Mathieu Babarit, won in Senior before Paul Jouet (Europe Champion).

On Masters final, Jean-François Sire, who is the shaper of Omback boards (a new brand of waveskis), got the victory.

Very good week-end, very difficult for nerves because of capricious waves, but good atmosphere on the spot, and a real waveski lesson by Mathieu Babarit. Many thanks to all voluntiers who did their best for the event organization.
See you all at next competition.... in Portugal !

Miyazaki surf trip
by Shota Onishi

From the day of earthquake and tsunami,Japanese people are sad and in shock. I believe that to have fun is most important to get over it. We went to Miyazaki to have fun. As I have reported before,Miyazaki is one of the best place to surf. We stayed in Water Field Kayaks Miyazaki for a week.And enjoyed to surf.

Water Field Kayaks bring new boat,the Hannya. We tested it and filmed footages by high speed camera. It can film 240 to 1000 frames per a second.It is great to record and check fast moving objects.

In young category (14-15 years old), Nathan Le Bars (Plouhinec club) wins the final against Timothé Fountaine (Ria d’Etel club) at the 2nd place.

At midday, waves are growing and growing. Juniors make the show on good conditions. Mathieu Jonneaux wins the competition. In the same family, Emilie Jonneaux pushes her best surf during the Ladies final heat and wins the competition ! That means two regional champions in the same family !!!
