Victoria Bay: In almost perfect conditions, WP riders took the bulk of the honours at the SA Waveski Surfing Championships held at Victoria Bay near George on 25 and 26 April.

With a light offshore breeze prevailing, Vic Bay’s legendary right hand break produced five to six foot waves on the first day, moderating to four or five feet on the second and final day. Diminishing surf on the second day forced many contestants pushing their final point-chase rides ever closer to the rock-strewn promenade, producing some exciting rides and occasional hair-raising moments.

So the initial teething problems are out of the way... although private messages are still archived at the moment and there are a couple of other loose bits... but the bulk of the new site is working including new features and functionality, including a improved blog and forums functions, events calendar (waiting for events people) and a return of the links section (also waiting for any missing links). Hope you all enjoy and keep send content!

 Oh... and you can also keep up to date with us on twitter... @waveskiinfo (twitter.com/waveskiinfo). Cheers... John.

A national kayak and waveski surfing circuit appears to be under construction in Portugal with a constitution and a two day judges training course completed. The training was given by local surfing legend Miguel Ruivo to a class of 15 kayak surfers and waveski surfers (the training managed to be featured in Malta News newspaper)
