Here is a little pic of Joe coming off the water. We’re happy to hear Ike didn’t spoil the fun for windsurfing in Texas!

“Post Ike, the windsurfers are coming back out for Wednesday night racing. This is one of our Wednesday night racers, Joe Livingston, on his Mistral Prodigy, which is the prevalent race board on Galveston Bay. Hauk Wahl, also a Prodigy racer, took this picture. He regularly circulates a picture to the email thread of windsurfers in our Club and in the Wednesday night racing group.

A big thanks to Javier Iglesias Curras for sending along this wonderful video of the kids rig in action. This is the first time his 5 and 3 year old son used the Ezzy Kids rig.

We just got a great email from Guy Fletcher from the UK. Guy is a brilliant musician who works with the likes of Mark Knopfler among others. He was part of the band “Dire Straits”.
Guy learned to windsurf on the island of Montserrat, which was once home to one of the worlds finest recording studios (AIR Studios). Lots of other musicians shared their love of windsurfing and music on the island, like Sting. Sadly, hurricane Hugo and later volcanic activity shut things down.
Guy writes the following:
“Anyway, I just wanted to say that your sails absolutely rock. It took me a while to get used to the ’08’s but I have to say they are SO powerful and controllable. Now I have a couple of ‘09 Panthers and I can’t wait to really test them out.”

At home this month on the RRD FSW 90 and a 6.9 Ezzy wave SE in about 16 knots of warm South Westerly

…and ducking it

..no way…
yes that’s right…you can’t jump that high off that small chop. It IS me though. (the actual jump was probably around 8-10 ft.)
We look forward to hearing more from Guy!

we received this email from our importer in Singapore…and felt we should share this incredible story.
We had a close-call yesterday when one of our local rider’s (named Ngo) rig had been struck by lighning when he was about to come on to the shore. Luckily he had suffered only minor numbness to his left foot.
Attached pictures showing the torn and damaged sections of the sail and mast.
Apparently the lightning charges hit through the top piece section of the sail into the mast tip and it travels downward to the mast extension when his foot got hit as well.
We are happy to report Ngo is doing just fine!

Boardseeker just posted this interesting interview with David Ezzy.
A big heartfelt thanks goes out to Dave Nunn and the staff at Windance for our big party on Saturday.
Turnout was incredible. I pulled in the parking lot at 6:45 and managed to grab the last parking space in the whole lot! People were walking in from all directions.
Jackie had to go on multiple keg runs, as we managed to suck the well dry within the first 45 minutes. It was great seeing so many people all together in a post session glow. The wind had been 5.0-3.5 up and down the Gorge (see Gary’s post here about Doug’s earlier in the day).
After the sun set we got to peel out a brand new 2009 Ezzy Wave Panther and run thru fine tuning. People sure seem excited about getting a chance to sail this new beauty.
Thanks to Pete DeKay for forwarding the images!
Today’s Doug’s demo will be featuring ‘08 and some ‘09 Ezzy Waves as well as a selection of Quattro Boards!
Don’t forget to join us for at the Windance party after sailing from 7 to 10pm
Gary Morris will have an fleet of ‘08 Ezzy Wave SE’s and some ‘09 Freewaves free to demo from 11 to 4:30 at Doug’s. Swing by and try ‘em out.
Windance’s Dave Nunn is throwing aparty on Saturday night, hosted by Graham and David Ezzy. Free food, free beer….what else could you need? If you haven’t had the chance, drop by the shop - it looks great, and Dave and his staff are super-stoked.

Hi folks!
After sailing with my Wave SEs for more than 3 Years now I just thought its time to let u know how super happy I am with your sails.
In my opinion they are truly the best wave sails ever, and after having issues in durability with almost every part of my surf-gear I am surprised that my sails never had anything bad, nothing! And I can tell that I used my
4.7 a lot because it works fine for me from 4 to 8 Bft.
They even still look quiet up-to-date if u look at the design and colors, as a buddy of mine noticed yesterday after
