We had some great conditions on Maui over January and February and Heidy and I put a lot of time in on the computers editing the videos, so I hope that the results were worth the effort!

Maui Sail Testing

I have been back on Maui for about a month now and we have had wind almost every day so we have been able to get out on the whole range of 2011 wave sails and I have been especially loving the fly 5.4 featured in this video clip that Kevin Pritchard very kindly filmed and put together for me!

Thanks Kevin and I hope you all enjoy it!

3rd Overall Waves 2009

Tue, 6 Oct 2009 22:35:55 -1000

After three years with no podium finishes since I broke my foot in 2005, I was very happy to be back in the coveted top 3 of the waves for 2009.

We had some of the best conditions ever in Sylt this year, we managed to finish a double elimination of freestyle, a double elimination of waves and four rounds of racing.

I had my best result ever in the slalom, finishing in 7th place, hopefully a result I will be able to repeat and improve on next year.

In the waves I was unlucky to break a mast doing a double forward in my last heat against Danny Bruch, leaving me in 7th place for the event and unable to move any higher than 3rd in the overall for the year.

Nevertheless, 2009 turned out to be my equal best year ever in waves, repeating my podium finish from 2005 and I was extremely happy to stand up there alongside a very deserving Josh Angulo and Kauli Seadi.

Let’s hope that 2010 will turn out to be even better!

I would like to thank my sponsors NeilPryde, JP and Harry Nass for supporting me through the last few years of recovery and of course all my family and my girlfriend for standing by me the whole time!

Now it is back to Maui for some much needed rest and relaxation, sail development and training for next year!
