RESPECT

i have to give to kelly slater one of the bigest sportsman in the planet
having won 10 times the world title in surfing something REALLY
difficult, he didn't show upfor his first heat  in the current  4th contest
 of the season in jeffreys bay south africa and here is the reasoon

 the guy was in fidji surfing this

huge respect............

ps he ended up in south africa IN TIME for his 2nd round heat 
so he is not of the contest  and maybe even win it .

PURE R N' D

looking to the first day pictures of pwa tenerife  i noticed
that thomas traversa was using the pure instead of his 
signatute sail IQ.
if this was really a pure and not a custom sail in the colors of
pure which would make more sence, it  maybe means 
that gaastra wants to reverse the politics that wanted the 
iq last year to be the one sail for wave and freestyle 
and make the pure a bit more wave sail 
anyway thomas seems in the pic not having any problems 
ripping the waves in any sail

EL CABEZO IS ON

i am watching pwa tenerife for  a while today
big upsets and poor conditions in the end , but
much better live coverage from pozo .
at least speakage is in english
 you can follow the action on pwaworldtour.com

it's a great summer though with a lot of (live)  windsurf action
which makes these very hot and windless days go through
quite hapilly

back to town now i got some freestyle sessions
among them 2 days in loytsa with 4.8
but moslty in patras in one of them my friend giannhs captured
this beauty on camera

SLALOMANIA PHOTO UPDATE 2

some more fotos from the slalom nationals in drepano 
thnx to my friend mixalhs who also helped a lot among others 
running and organising the event 
here i HANE to pay tribute to MR stefanos grapsas
who was the head organiser and PRO of the race 
and despite his age his passion for windsurfing 
pushed him beyond limits and did really well in everything 
respect .
   




back to the beach after racing 

before the start (not so crowded!!)

cruising in the sun  

 ready for start sequence

some upwind  

5  , 4 ,   3  , 2  , 1     5 minutes to the start  

full speed before start  


over all it was by far one of  the most good organised  slalom events in greece 
we had 3 days of  fun racing.
next slalom event in volvi not sure if i will attend  but for sure
if i do i 'll do it with BIG equipment

SLALOMANIA

had 4 days full of racing, i can say i am full of it so
i'm getting back to  freestyle now
i am really satisfied with my result considering i  had
only one set of equipment :maui sails TR5 7.6 and patrik slalom 110
with 2 fins black project R RACING 40 and 37,5  and
all the other competitors used only 9.5's and 8.6 's
we were blessed with wind all 3 days of our national slalom competition.
and finished 6 courses .  i got 12 ,9,6,16,11 and 18.5 which was discarded
and finally 10th overall among 32 competitors which is not so bad
until i get some of my fotos check the gallery of alex
