Yes, Yes, Yes, we are back! It’s time for all us windsurfers to meet up with friends old and new. From near and far, to have some fun on and off the water. Let’s find out who has used the last two years to improve their wave sailing and who has not. It’s time to find out…………….. MAYO MAYHEM 2021 […]
Words & pics: Tez Plavenieks Hands up if you learned how to windsurf on a conventional windsurfing rig? Potentially quite a while ago when rigs were still pretty heavy. Possibly the hardest thing is uphauling and getting the sail into position to actually start sailing. It’s arguably the most prohibitive part of learning to windsurf – although a whole host […]
You probably won’t know Cork based Dave Ludgate. He’s not a pro windsurfer and doesn’t charge huge Pe’ahi in Maui. He’s not a radical windfoil sailor and isn’t about to break the 60 knot speed barrier. But. He’s a super enthusiastic freerider and environemntally conscious sailor epitomising exactly what real world windsurfers are all about. Which is why NCW have […]
Words & pics: Tez Plavenieks Names mean nothing when it comes to windsurfing boards. In fact, when trying to decipher what gear does – having not actually tried the kit in question – it’s pretty hard to get a real handle on things. Most riders look at dimensions, but that too can be misleading because numbers, as with names, mean […]
Interview: WSUK Words: Jamie Howard Pics: Amber Dennington Note: this interview originally appeared in WSUK’s 2020 issue. Jamie has now switched sponsors to Severne. A successful product of the RYA’s Team15 programme Jamie Howard quickly rose through ranks as far as freestyle windsurfing goes. These days JH still rips in freestyle but also waves and lately has been vying for […]
Pics: James Jagger Moving on from our test of Mistral’s Quikslide freeride board range we now shine the spotlight on the brand’s accompanying range of three freeride sails – the Zonda line. Coming as a 5.4m, 6.5m and 7.8m there’s a size for most wind types. Or another way to look at it is: a complete quiver for the modern […]
With wingsurfing/wing foiling wings being numerous these days it’s hard to determine what does what and which would suit you as a rider – whatever your level. Whilst this article doesn’t feature every wingsurfing wing available it does focus on a decent number, giving a performance overview of what each wing will deliver in terms of performance. Our friends over […]
We tested the Duotone Echo 7m wingsurfing wing last year. Whilst the brand have since launched the Slick – featuring an integrated boom and middle strut – the Echo remians a viable choice for many. Here’s the review. Pics: Oli Lane-Peirce. For windsurfers the Echo’s boom option has most synergy and could be best fit. Few other wings have this […]
Interview: WSUK Pics: Ellis Photography Since the renaissance of the Windsurfer LT enthusiasts have been popping up in droves everywhere. While there’s a committed crew of WLT racers there’re just as many real world sailors using them in place of previous windSUP machines. One such sailor is Doug Baker who’s an avid Windsurfer LT lover. WSUK caught up with Doug […]
Intro: WSUK Words, pics & vid: Daniel Winterbottom Daniel Winterbottom is a keen windsurfing bean. So keen in fact that he’s just as happy to be out on modern wi dsurfing kit as he is old gold classics. Enter his still going string Tiga 275 (he also owns and sails and a Tiga 285). For any long in the tooth […]
