Many PWA riders are in Pozo training for the first wave event of the season, but last week they had some light conditions. Robby Swift and Levi Lenz used the windless days last week to work on a creative lament about the progress of Robby Swift´s Double Forward loop.

Emilio Galindo Barquín (E-21) is a Spanish freestyle windsurfer living in Cadiz. He has just won the Spanish freestyle title leaving him on fire. His homespot Sancti-Petri provided some awesome sessions for this clip with wind and totally flat water from 3.7 maxed out to 5.3 pumping.
In this episode Ben Proffitt brings us a bit of action from Robby Swift and Marcillio Browne. Plus he brings us a tutorial on doing a stalled forward.
A nice action clip of Moroccan Boujmaa Guilloul showing why he is the style master in terms of wavesailing.
In Part 4 Ben heads north to a spot near the airport, due to lack of conditions in Pozo. And look forward to part 5 where he promises us a stalled forward technique in part 5!
It is with sad hearts we tell you that co-inventor of windsurfing passed away. The following was posted on the starboard website in his memory
“Jim Drake changed the lives of millions of people and will continue to do so.
Windsurfing has made people experience the wind, waves and water in new ways. The sport has made converts travel and even settle on the opposite side of our planet.
His spirit was always to include everyone and especially women and kids into windsurfing. Jim and his wife Sam spent years with us in Thailand developing designs and strategies to
increase the popularity of windsurfing. He was always optimistic and especially happy to challenge the status quo. His view on “one design” versus free choice of windsurfing gear
for the Olympics was well known. His designs, like the Formula 175, the worlds most winning race board ever took competitive windsurfing to a new level.Jim was an early adaptor of paddle boarding and he has helped design a number of winning designs like the K15. Some of his later designs are still being tested and his ideas on the future
of paddle board designs may soon be shared.He had so much more to give and reminded us on how precious each hour of life is.”

This morning I brought you another video from Peru which you can see here. That reminded me of another video from Pacasmayo. In this Video Kauli Sedi visits spots like Lobitos, Baterias, Pacasmayo and Sick Cliffs. This is definitely a place I want to visit!
The AWT has a stop scheduled for Pacamayo this year. I will do a travel feature in the coming weeks on this famed spot! So watch for it, in the meantime enjoy this video as Kauli rides a seemingly endless wave!

Freestyle windsurfer Rick Jendrusch to show the world what he is doing. In this video he is ripping at his home spot of Brouwersdam, which will also be holding a stop of the PWA Tour next year.
The PWA have finally confirmed that Pozo will be happening. That’s pretty last minute. but it sounds like they will be making up for it in terms of the event. There will be live streaming through out, and tons of social media coverage! And we of course will bring you up to the date coverage fop the entire event! Check out the the event facebook fanpage at facebook.com/GranCanariaWindWavesFestival.
The biggest news of all however, is that the event will now be run by the Moreno twins. The Moreno twin’s are two of the best female windsurfers, and they intend to bring a fresh new look to the PWA tour stop. They have already re-named it the PWA Pozo Wind & Waves Festival. A strong prediction is the emphasis on growing the event to a scale that is similar to PWA Podersdorf or PWA Sylt.
Some more action from Pozo all filmed from the spy cam Proffitts bedroom!! News includes another doublefest by Marcilo Browne, whingury, new moves and the latest arrivals. Ben promises to bring us a technique section soon!
