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
AWT rider Jay Watermeyer went through his GoPro footage, where he road triped from Portland, OR to Punta San Carlos Baja, for some windsurfing, surfing and mountain biking.

Check out the awesome action from Pistol River as part of the 2013 American Windsurfing Tour. The event started with 2 days of light wind perfect for a SUP contest. The forecast delivered for day four with 10-25 knot winds. Waves were small but enough to get through the entire single elimination. After the long day at the beach Camille Juban won the Single Elimination!
A few last word, we’d like to give a shout out to Sam Bittner who runs the tour, Kevin Pritchard who produce the awesome videos, and Starboard who sponsored the event!

The forecast delivered for day four at the 2013 AWT Pistol River Wave Bash presented by Starboard with 20-25 knot wind. The waves were small but there was enough to get through a full single elimination bracket for all the divisions. It was a long day at the beach but it was exciting to see what the riders could deliver in such challenging conditions.

Day 2 at Pistol River saw the finals of the Gold Beach SUP Challenge completed. It was a fun contest that came down to a serious final featuring Bernd Roediger, Pascal Hardy, Matt Spencer and Brian Caserio. The heat some some of the best waves of the day with Bernd finishing on top. The ladies also had a solid final heat with Fiona Wylde winning by a tie-breaker over Katie McAnena.
Check out a full report on Day 2 of the Pistol River Wave Bash, with pics and full results.
The competitors have descended on the town of Gold Beach, Oregon for the 2013 AWT Pistol River Wave Bash presented by Starboard. The opening night party and registration was hosted by the Inn of the Beachcomber and everyone had a blast with BBQ, beer and music… always a winning combination. Day 1 was a relaxing day as the wind didn’t materialize enough to run any heats, but we’re ready for when it does show up. The main action on the beach was with a SUP clinic from Bernd Roediger and Fiona Wylde. They gave the crowd plenty of great tips on paddling and catching waves. I’m sure some will use them to their advantage at the upcoming SUP Gold Beach Challenge presented by the Inn of the Beachcomber that will be running on Day 2. Stay tuned tomorrow for a report on the action and photos from this exciting SUP event.
The story is about Kevin “coming home” to his roots after having accomplished his goal of winning a world title.
Watch as Kevin Pritchard travels along the West Coast of North America from Baja up to Vancouver Island (although he scored no session on the Island). Everything started with the trips to the American Windsurfing Tour events and Kevin and Johannes from Maui Nerd Productions never had the intention to make a clip about these trips, but in the end and looking through the clips, they saw some beauty and decided to share the footage with us. “Some would call it a video or a movie: We say it’s more a slideshow of good memories, unique moments with unique friends, funny stupid things, stunning nature and some great sailing!” (MNP)
Enjoy, it’s one of our favorite movies lately!
