Bjorn Dunkerbeck confirmed in the Australian windsurfing marathon
Bjorn Dunkerbeck will be leading more than 400 windsurfers in the annual Lancelin Ocean Classic, to be held on 6th February. All competitors will face an eight leg 26km race from Ledge Point to the Endeavour Tavern, in Australia. The contest will include wake sailing, marathon and slalom.
The Lancelin Ocean Classic is a windsurfing event born 25 years ago with a few enthusiastic windsurfers and a handful of competitors for a one-day event.
Nowadays, the competition lasts for four days and attracts thousands of spectators. Lancelin, located in Western Australia, has long been a destination for windsurfers worldwide and is one of the most popular wind spots.
The total prize money is of $25.000. The windsurfing marathon is about kick off. Who will take the famous crown?
The 2010 PKRA season wraps up in Australia
It's all over for the world's best kiteboarders. The Gold Coast Kitesurfing Pro 2010 has been concluded and the winners were crowned.
The last day of competition opened with the Red Bull Boarder Cross. Despite the light winds, riders rushed to the start line in hopes of being the fastest to swivel around the Red Bull buoys edging their way to the final obstacle near the shore, where jumping over the last Red Bull sausage buoy was mandatory.
Mitu Monteiro was the fastest and finished in first place, followed by Mario Rodwald and Julien Kerneur. In the Women?s division, Jalou Langeree was the first to cross the last line, Kari Schibevaag took second place and Karolina Winkowska followed in third place.
In the ceremony gala, Andy Yates and Gisela Pulido got their 2010 PKRA Freestyle Championship titles.

Severne NCX tested
When I am out for a freeride session I actually use the Severne NCX or the NCX pro in 8,0. It�s a sail, which feels extremely light, but gives you enough power, when the wind drops and a lot of control, when the wind picks up. You should have a try! Chris

4 November - Strand Horst
Another Strand Horst session, with at least some better feeling afterwards regarding tuning :), also learned something else...
GP3S comment:
GP3S comment:
Tuningday :), started with W44+5.6, this was OK but the gusts gone by and it was nearly impossible to catch these gusts with some speed. After doing 4 speedruns in 1 hour it was time to try something else.
The iSonic W49 and Reflex 6.2, a combination which was not very good tuned during USM. Soo I started at the point where I ended in USM. Some finetuning after the first run, and it felt pretty good. Also the 3th run with this combination was efficient for the windstrength I had in my sail.
I was happy to see some rain with good gusts, and the first downwinder the sail was suddenly unstable and not OK. Looked and saw the crossbatten was broken thanks to a Stupid personal action (jumping from the board). Tried 3 more runs, but no use. Had little doubt to fix the batten (had spare parts etc), but want to do this good, the 6.2 will be my Strand Horst sail.
Total 10 downwind runs today. And the reason to go to Strand Horst was testing as much as possible LOL. I was thinking about 30 speedruns++ (5 hours time). I hope to get the ducks in a row next time on Strand Horst.
PS (if true), Roger congrats with your 80+km/h average at Bad Hoophuizen!!!
