Beach Telegraph Publications has today launched Windsurfer International Magazine - a free-to-read monthly digital publication serving-up a multimedia feast of juicy articles for action-hungry wind addicts worldwide.
On August 16th, 2009 the World is invited to share the magic of windsurfing with their friends and family. A concept that has been started by the innovators at Starboard; ‘World Windsurfing Day is designed to introduce new blood to the sport.
This year, the programme is intended to be a small-scale event. The concept is based on the fact that most windsurfers in the world are introduced to the sport by their family, and without that critical first introduction many people would not have started.
Okato's James Dinnis has beaten the best windsurfers in the United States.
The Taranaki man yesterday won the open men's event at the US windsurfing championships at the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon, taking out seven of the 11 races.
"He was pretty stoked when I talked to him this morning," his wife, Vanessa, said. "But he couldn't take the title because he wasn't an American.
"The title was awarded to the winner of the grand masters division ... he was the American with the highest points over the 11 races."
Allison Shreeve has completed windsurfing 125km of the Bass Strait Challenge in formidable conditions with 30-35 knot winds and 3-4m swells. In doing so she has exceeded CoastCare’s “Life on the Edge” campaign target for people from all walks of life to travel 100km of Australia’s coastline using non-motorised activity.
Allison is planning to windsurf across Bass Strait for Coastcare as an ambassador for the 'Life on the Edge' campaign by the end of March 2009.
The 240km stretch will begin at Stanley, TAS and end at Inverloch, VIC. Allison will set a new World Speed Record as the first woman and fastest sailing craft ever to cross the Strait.
Allison's progress will be followed live by Aerotrac GPS tracking system - plotting her speed, direction and position and will be complimented by live streaming video.
There is a Bill that needs to be stopped because it could mean strict restrictions for windsurfing and kitesurfing on Maui. It is planning to make a rule of having a 200? distance between surfers and windsurfers, which would mean we couldn’t sail at the Point of Ho’okipa if there is a surfer at Pavilions.
