Waveski / France National Championship 2011

Campeonato Francês de Waveski / 29 de Outubro a 1 de Novembro

As estrelas estão lá todas! Campeões do mundo e nova geração na meca do waveski europeu (e talvez mundial). Fred Jonneaux, NEWS TEAM kayaksurf.net, envia-nos o convite para O evento europeu do waveski. Imaginem estar em Sables d'Olonne e assistir a heats com Caroline Angibaud, Renan LeLoutre, Pablo Arrouays, Virgile Humbert, Mathieu Jonneaux, Mathieu Babarit e muitos, muitos mais? Um luxo. Este evento irá contar com um Troféu Best Wave kayaksurf.net para a onda do campeonato. Ficamos à espera do report!

As every year, our France National Waveski Championship takes place at the end of october. This 2011 edition takes place in Sables d’Olonne, which is a special place for waveski, as it’s the only place in France (and probably in the world… !) that has a school with waveski section that prepares young riders to waveski high level and teaches them at school at the same time, as in any school. Great champions as Caroline Angibaud, Paul Jouet, Coralie Jousset, Renan Leloutre,… studied in this school. Now, Fred Jonneaux, NEWS TEAM kayaksurf.net, invites us for one more edition of the TOP event in Sables d'Olonnes. Below more infos. Let's wait for the reports and good luck for all! Don't forget the Best Wave Trophy kayaksurf.net ;)

FRANCE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Sables d’Olonne – Oct 29th to Nov 1st

As every year, our France National Waveski Championship takes place at the end of october. This 2011 edition takes place in Sables d’Olonne, which is a special place for waveski, as it’s the only place in France (and probably in the world… !) that has a school with waveski section that prepares young riders to waveski high level and teaches them at school at the same time, as in any school. Great champions as Caroline Angibaud, Paul Jouet, Coralie Jousset, Renan Leloutre,… studied in this school.

Those special students are coached by Gérard Lucas, who was National Waveski Team Coach for several years. Gérard is also the Contest Director for these 2011 Waveski France National Championships.

Of course it’s our main event in France, and each year more than 80 riders meet there to compete : as you could see in Santa Cruz, the powerful surf of our young riders will be present, and you can be sure they all are going to struggle to make a big show on the waves… ! Just try to imagine Pablo Arrouays and Virgile Humbert fighting for the national title… do you think Mathieu Babarit and Caroline Angibaud (who both couldn’t run the world titles) will let them do the job ?... Renan Leloutre, Maël Divialle, Mathieu Jonneaux, Maxime Gaborit, Nathan Le Bars…. And many other great surfers will be there, and you can be sure they all want to climb on podiums !...

…. Well, I have to go now… to prepare my camera !

As usual, Mamgoz Productions / BreizhridersTV will make the video report for you.

Mérci Fred!

Ben John by scosf11 / Portugal

2 years ago i had a vision to make a clip and get it on "Fuel" Channel which is a action sports channel on Foxsports. Its something that has never been done in my sport of waveski and something a lot of people said couldn't be done. It was a year ago now that my great mate Mark "Stapo" Stapelfeldt and myself made the plans to make it happen. After a few months of planning we started production in May and it was an incredible journey where i went to many remote, beautiful spots and met many great people. I have been very fortunate to have many friends and professionals help out with the project that i am very thankful of. A Special thanks also needs to be made to the legendary surf film producer Tim Bonython which was a huge honour to have help.

He had a massive involvement with this clip and i cant thank Tim and Stapo enough for there efforts they spent with me and the project. I am very proud of the end result and its very much the vision i had for this clip when it was planted in my head some years ago. I have found realising and living my dreams is very satisfying and cant recommend enough that everyone should live and breath their passions whatever that is and follow their dreams. Thanks for watching and pass onto anyone that may want to sponsor

Cheers, Wogga

Mathieu Jonneaux, WatertechTeam, já é bem conhecido por estas bandas. É um dos nomes fortes da nova geração francesa de waveski. Para além da sua classe nas ondas, Matt é também o homem forte da Mamgoz Productions que nos tem trazido alguns dos melhores vídeos de waveski produzidos nos últimos tempos. Fica uma sequência de luxo tirada no Mundial de Waveski que decorreu este ano no Santa Cruz Ocean Spirit Festival.

Mathieu Jonneaux, Watertech Team, is already a very well known name here on kayaksurf.net ;) Besides being one of the strongest names of the new french waveski generation, Matt is also the manager of Mamgoz Productions. We all know very well their video productions in the last Worlds. Enjoy this sequence taken in Santa Cruz Ocean Spirit Festival (Waveski Worlds 2011). Very cool!

Coupe de Bretagne / Waveski & Kayaksurf Surfing France

Taça da Bretanha / Prova de Waveski e Kayaksurf no dia 23 de Outubro



Mais uma! É a potência mundial do waveski a organizar e promover eventos que apostam, essencialmente, na iniciação dos atletas mais jovens. Fred Jonneaux, NEWS TEAM kayaksurf.net, enviou-nos o convite. Este evento vai contemplar, pela primeira vez em França, a união entre kayaksurf e waveski. Onde é que nós já vimos isto? A confirmação chega-nos da nação por excelência do waveski. Muito bom. Tal como Fred escreve mais em baixo... - "sharing our common passion : paddling and surfing waves ! "

One more! It's the usual french activitie regarding the waveski scene. Fred Jonneaux, NEWS TEAM kayaksurf.net, sent us the invitiation for next October 23rd. Let's go! This event will also have for the very firts time in France, the participation of some surfkayakers ;) That's great News! Like in Portugal, Ireland, Brazil, USA, Galiza, Italy and now... also in France. Like Fred writes below - "sharing our common passion : paddling and surfing waves ! ". Let's wait for the report!!

Brittany Regional Waveski AND Surfkayak Competition on October 23rd

Since a few years, in Brittany, we manage to run a regional waveski circuit, that has 3 or 4 legs, and a regional championship. This is the way we found to interest young and beginners in waveski to come to competitions that are not too far away from the place they live, and it’s also the way to make a regional ranking. Then, riders who get good ranking are supposed to come to the waveski national circuit. We generally have between 20 and 35 entries on each regional leg.

To encourage new riders and also ladies to come to the activity, we give free entries to ladies, and also to people who are not yet ranked in waveski. Some of them don’t have any board, so we also lend them free of charge the boards that our Departemental Kayak Comitee lends us for waveski development, which is really a very good help. By this way, last year we got a few new riders coming to the activity. After a few competitions on the regional circuit, some of them buy a second hand board and then keep on surfing.

Competition organizations are very light : everyone has to give a hand on the organization : riders who compete also come to judgement (new ones are teached about it) each club comes with some material (beach flags, judgement files, beach marshall boards,…) and this is really good for the spirit we like to feel on the competitions : hard battle on waves, and friendship on the beach !

And also, for the first time in France, a few surfkayakers will join us on the competition. This is a real good new, because it makes a bigger event, and it’s a very good way to meet new people sharing our common passion : paddling and surfing waves ! Of course we said they are welcome ! Some of our young riders will have the opportunity to try a surfkayak, some of surfkayakers will have their first rides on a waveski, this is a good experience for everyone.

Other European countries, as Portugal, Spain, Ireland,… do so, so we can enjoy that France, which has very few surfkayakers, go on the same way, it can be a real promotion for both activities.

So we just pray for good conditions for October 23rd at Baie des Trépassés (Plouhinec Club organization), the most western spot of France.

This regional meeting is the last one before our National Waveski Championship which takes place in Sables d’Olonne (in the middle of french atlantic coast) from October 29th to November 1st. So Oct 23rd will probably be a « training competition » before the main national event… this means big level for sure !

CNKW11 / Portuguese Kayaksurf & Waveski Circuit WINNERS ;)

Vencedores do Circuito Nacional de Kayaksurf & Waveski 2011



O Circuito Nacional de Kayaksurf & Waveski (CNKW) teve em 2011 três provas e foi, sem sombra de dúvidas, o melhor circuito alguma vez organizado desde que o kayaksurf iniciou esta aventura no nosso país. Tendo o kayaksurf como modalidade âncora, associámos depois o waveski e, este ano, a classe sit-on-top. Em suma, três modalidades do surf com pagaia que contam, agora, com o reconhecimento institucional da Federação Portuguesa de Canoagem (FPC). (continua mais em baixo)

Congratulations for the portuguese kayaksurf & waveski circuit of 2011! Three excellent contests made this year's circuit that had the major support of our Canoe Federation. This circuit has four classes: kayaksurf HP, IC, SOT and also waveski. This year, these were the winners. Soon, the release of 2012 calendar.

-----------



Este salto de qualidade em 2011, só foi possível graças ao apoio da FPC e ao empenho por parte das entidades que organizaram as três provas, a saber: Escola Superior de Desporto de Rio Maior, Associação Santa Cruz Ocean Spirit e Figueira Kayak Clube. Aos três… sinceros PARABÉNS.

Por outro lado, um forte agradecimento a todos os atletas que ajudam ao crescimento da modalidade e que participaram em todas as provas. Como exemplo, os quatro vencedores do circuito nacional 2011 estão oficialmente FEDERADOS. É mais uma confirmação de que, à semelhança de outras modalidades, também o kayaksurf e o waveski caminham para institucionalização do nosso desporto. Só assim poderemos ambicionar metas mais exigentes e obter o natural reconhecimento desportivo.

O protocolo com a Federação Portuguesa de Surf (FPS) só veio confirmar o profissionalismo e experiência que esta parceria adicionou ao CNKW. Graças ao Festival Santa Cruz Ocean Spirit, as equipas da FPS – direcção técnica e juízes –, para além do CNKW, já estiveram envolvidas na organização da Taça do Mundo de Kayaksurf 2008, Mundial de Kayaksurf 2009, Open Internacional de Kayaksurf e Waveski 2010 e Mundial de Waveski 2011. O reconhecimento internacional desta estratégia, chegou uma vez mais este ano aquando do convite de Paulo Schmidt (Chefe de Juízes da FPS) para integrar a organização do Mundial de Kayaksurf que decorreu nos EUA.

Da parte do kayaksurf.net, são aqui endereçados os parabéns a todos os organizadores, patrocinadores, atletas, apoiantes e entusiastas do surf com pagaia. Aos vencedores deste ano, acrescentamos uma natural saudação para os clubes a que pertencem. Os vencedores são:

- Kayaksurf HP: Miguel Carvalho (Figueira Kayak Clube)
- Kayaksurf IC: Henrique Frazão (Clube Náutico da Foz do Arelho)
- Waveski: Bruno Melo (Figueira Kayak Clube)
- Kayaksurf SOT: Hugo Paz (Figueira Kayak Clube)

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.
