FLOW - For Ladies Of Windsurfing

FLOW - For Ladies Of Windsurfing - www.flowindsurfing.com - le nouveau site de windsurf pour les filles par Amy Carter!

De plus en plus de filles naviguent, que ce soit leur premiers bord, leur premier planing, qu'elles déchirent en vague ou en freestyle, elles sont sur l'eau et font plaisir à voir!

Et de plus en plus de filles aussi consacrent beaucoup de temps à la promotion du windsurf féminin avec des sites, des girls camps, etc.

FLOW parle de windsurf, de filles qui naviguent, de trips, spots, matos... et bien plus. Je conseille à toutes les filles d'aller découvrir ce nouveau site!

Le windsurf a encore beaucoup trop souvent cette vieille image de la planche beaucoup trop lourde, de la voile triangulaire qu'on n'arrive pas à sortir de l'eau... Et c'est vraiment dommage, car le sport a tellement évolué, il est de nos jours accessible à tous et à toutes, de n'importe quel âge, pas besoin d'être un athlète ou body builder. En plus des sensations uniques sur l'eau, le windsurf fait voyager, découvrir de nouveaux endroits, rencontrer de nouveaux gens... Le windsurf est plus qu'un sport, c'est un lifestyle.

Gran Canaria & Tenerife

What an awesome few weeks in the Canary islands!!!

From Lanzarote we headed back to Gran Canaria for the PWA Wave event in Pozo. The contest organization was nowhere near as good as the one in Lanzarote, but we still had a great time on the water. The first day of competition was totally glassy - pretty rare over there!!! - but a few of us went on a mission to find some conditions and were rewarded with a fun wave session up north. The day after the wind woke up and we were on! 3 days of competition on 3.4 and 3.0 for me, small waves but unreal action. It's almost as much fun to be riding as to be sitting and watching.

To get a bit of an idea of what's happening on the water there you should really have a look at the videos and photos of the event on the PWA website...

Once Pozo was over we jumped on the first ferry over to Tenerife. I thought Pozo was windy but what was waiting for us there reminded me what 3.0 weather really is!!! It was so good to get some good waves and spend hours out there till we couldn't hold onto our booms anymore. I absolutely loved it. We were a really good crew out there too, Si, Justin, Ben W., Ben S., Jaegger, etc...

Ben from the OTC - and all his staff - looked after us really well again, thanks guys! We'll be back soon!

I flew back to Switzerland yesterday. The sun is shining, it's hot, loads of fun stuff happening, just loving summer over here. And this weekend is gonna be BIG!!! It's the big Surf Shop Party in Préverenges. Windsurfing, Stand Up Paddling, Wakeboarding, BBQ, Party... There's absolutely no good reason to miss it!!! We wanna see you all there for an awesome weekend at the beach. Check out the flyer above for details or the Surf Shop's website.

Or just simply get yourself down there to check it all out!!!

I'm actually off down there right now to help out set up the place and I'm sorry if the French version is in English... Gotta go!!!

3ème à Lanzarote

The first thing that needs to be said about this year's PWA event in Lanzarote is what a good job the organizers did there. Thanks guys for the awesome event!!!!

We managed to finish the single elimination and did everything to try and run the double, but unfortunately the wind decided otherwise and died before we could finish it. I kept my fingers crossed the whole time for the wind to kick in as I really wanted a chance to sail some heats and do better than 3rd... The wind was pretty light and I'm pretty comfortable sailing in such conditions, I think I could have done well. 3rd is ok though, can't complain!

That was our only freestyle girls event for this year unfortunately...So it means I'm 3rd overall in 2010 again. Man I so wanna get rid of this 3rd place and do better! 2011... :0)

The closing ceremony was one of the best ever, massive night followed by a long trip back to Gran Canaria. Nayra, Junko and I in a van so full that we couldn't fit a harness in there anymore. We are now in Pozo, the PWA wave event starts today. There's no wind at the moment unfortunately, but it's Pozo so I'm not too worried, pretty sure we'll get some over the next few days!

Great to see everyone again, really can't wait to go sailing here and watch everyone fly!!!

PWA Lanzarote!!

There we are, in Lanzarote once again for the PWA freestyle event!

It's good to be back and see everyone, the level has again gone through the rood, everyone is ripping and it's just really good to see and sail with everyone!!!

I gotta be quick cause the café is about to close but we started today with the first single elimination today. My first heat went really well, I landed quite a few good moves. I was against Nayra who sailed very well too, so lucky I managed to stay calm and land my stuff. Then it was straight against Sarah-Quita, once again! always meeting her early on and making it really hard to go into the winner's final. But it was fun to sail with her, like always. We had a tricky heat with very gusty and light wind and I unfortunately didn't land many moves. Sarah sailed awesome - as usual - which made me go into the loser's final. The wind dropped after that so we'll keep going tomorrow. I'm against Junko next, see how it goes! Hopefully we'll have more eliminations and I'll manage to sail ok and get a good result...

The atmosphere this year is so good! Awesome dj on the beach, happy people and relaxed riders, really enjoying it.

More tomorrow!
