This video shows how a (relative) skunking turns out on the paradisiacal island of Mauritius. Unfortunately there were only a few days of wind when I was there and when we did have wind the swell was pretty small.
The island is amazing though, so there was plenty to see and do during the down time.The action is shot from one afternoon at One Eye, where I had a tiny taste of how good it can get. Definitely will have to get back to score it on a solid South Swell!

A sick compilation of wave and high flying action from Victor Fernandez in Pozo, Gran Canaria this summer.
Polish windsurfer Maciek Ruthowski known more for his slalom sailing shows he’s no slouch in the waves either. The talking is Polish but the action is action!
Here’s the rough translation of what went down:
In early May 2013 the combined with Team Quiksilver Poland and Burn Energy Drink Poland Maciek embarked on a journey in search of wind and waves. Jack and Philip Camera man Czerniec Koritski accompanied him as they traveled more than 5000km across Europe visiting Lake Garda, the southern coast of France, wakepark in Toulouse, and finally the Atlantic coast of Europe – so in a nutshell, it was that sort of adventure.
The PWA Pozo world Cup wrapped up with less then spectacular conditions and only a super session yeilded results. A few days latter conditions were on fire with sailors on 3.3M sails and @ meter waves. Some of the top pros were still there including Philip Koster, Alessio Stillrich, 12 year old Niklas Herrera and Victor Fernandez. Pozowinds brings us this radical clip with massive jumps, huge loops and some sick waveriding.
Check out Morgan Noireaux’s edit from Pistol River. Morgan is currently ranked 4th on the AWT and will be heading to the Desert Showdown next.
This was filmed while I was in Oregon for the AWT Pistol river wave bash. We went there a few days in advance with the intention of filming but we ended up only getting two days of wind. This one and the day of the contest which wasn’t really worth filming. All of this was filmed during one session at Cape Sebestian. Nothing amazing, just a fun mellow session. I’d love to sail the Cape when it’s bigger though, it must be pretty epic. – Noireaux
