"-The contest is behind us, and we went straight to work getting new footage for the video- the day after the contest, the surfers owned Ho'okipa- they had been waiting for 2 weeks, and given the light wind and perfect roping waves, there was no room for windsurfers! So, the team and I went down the reef a little bit and sailed really fun, if super light, logo high waves at Mama's Fish House/Ku'au. Sam Ireland was on the point filming, and I think we got some good footage of Me (5.0, 92ltrs), Victor (5.3,74ltrs), Rudy (5.6, 74ltrs), Junko (4.7, 70ltrs).
We sailed in to the sunset and had a great session with all ripping- Rudy sailing his 5.6 like it was a 4.7, Junko tagging lips, Victor with solid hits and a super clean wave Taka, and me loving the unbelievable loos ... |

UK Simmer Style rider Ruth Elliot was recently crowned 2006 Women's British Wave Champ. This is her version:
"-I've had a fantastic autumn at home spending the whole of September sailing in North Wales with some killer swells. In early October I traveled up to the Tiree wave classic, which is the biggest and highest profile competition on the UK Wave calendar.
The first day people were still arriving on the ferry so heats couldn't start until the afternoon. As I'd arrived a few days early I pulled off the fastest registration in history and was off to the beach scoring some quality wave riding in logo high clean sets and light winds (yes the combination did cause a few swims).

After a month or so in the sunshine and good winds of Jericuacuara, Brazil Ascanio D' Ascanio is all warmed up and just nailed a few Goiters and Ponchs as well as cleaning up his Flakas on both tacks and to add some extra flavor to the routine he switches it up with Punetas and Funnels. Thanks to a damn nice married woman shooting photos of her husband on the beach we can offer you some pictures, of Ascanio that is, not her husband, though we heard he rips. We also got a little video for you.

French Simmer rider Sylvain Demercastel got himself a gig that easily could give every windsurfer on the planet wet dreams. So if traveling around the world for Planchemag and do a windsurf travel and environmental review every two months doesn't do it for you, then what the heck does?

So while some of the Simmer riders enjoy the warm places on our globe Vincent Langer stays cool by sailing slalom and freestyle in chilled out Germany. 2 more weeks of military training before he joins the sport group that offers plenty of time for windsurfing. Who knows they might just pay his ticket to some warm place to sail around and scoop out the place.
