Bill took 2 new boards down to Newquay for the Surfgirl Magazine board test. Well we got one back as for the other it bought by one of the girls that day ,so i guess they went down well. We were asked for a fun summer board for the average surfer so we sent down a Quad Fish and a Stubby these boards are ideal for summer surfs. With the Quad you get lots of speed and like the Stubbie it picks up waves early and with ease.You can check out the pictures in this issue of Surfgirl Magazine.

So we had some feed back from Denzil after his weekend win at the races.

Hi ya Bill,

Well I have just come back from round 2 of the BKSA course racing series that was held in Exmouth over the weekend, it all went really well with a

total of 6 races run in varying and sometimes demanding conditions! There was a total of 26 riders that entered and it was held on the seafront with

a good amount of public taking an interest and also West country TV came down with their film crew, of course I did my bit and gave an interview which

was shown on the regional news on the Saturday (they need good looking people on TV!).

The level of the riders was greatly varied, but it was mainly a battle between myself and Steph Bridge (world Champion) in winning the races, the 1st race

went to Steph with myself in 2nd place, the 2nd race was interesting, Steph and myself were quite far in front of the fleet and tacking around the 2nd marker

bouy when the wind dropped and we managed to tangle our kites and were out of it then, much to the amusment of the rest of the fleet! The 3rd race was won

by myself, then followed by Steph in 2nd. The 2nd and 3rd races were run on a 2 bouy course (sausage course) while the other races were the more traditional

triangular course. The 4th race was won this time by Steph followed by myself right behind her and that concluded Day 1.

Day 2 saw race 5 and it was a real battle, the wind started off good then dropped after about 30 seconds, it was really hard to make any way upwind and in the

end all of the fleet except for Steph and myself retired, but the wind kicked in and it made for a close finish of which I managed to come in 1st. The final race was

held in the best wind, in fact I was overpowered for a lot of it but still managed to come in 1st place, followed by Steph Bridge then Richard Gowers in 3rd place.

So of course that meant that I won the competition which places me in the prime position for winning the British title for this year, just 1 more event and that is in

September at the Poole Windfest.

I used Axels fins and they work really well, I am only using the rear Fin box and have only used the front halve of the fin box positioning so far. I used the smaller

fins on the Saturday and longer high AR fins on the Sunday, they worked a treat until I was overpowered, then it took a lot of skill to keep the board under control

while going mega fast in the choppy conditions, I think the higher AR fins come into their own in the lighter wind but it is still early to tell.

Will catch ya soon

 Denzil.
