UPDATED!

Happy New Year! May the wind and waves be with you in 2008. To start of the new year, we would like to point out Quatro's new (unofficial?) promo video for their 2008 boards. Insane action with mellow, relaxed music in the background. Exactly what it is all about: chill-out and express yourself on the water.

Winter left and spring came with a BANG! 4.0s were the call. 3rd Ave and Waddell were firing. Below some pics of James taking his new Vision 4.7 out for a spin. Pics by Tony Beach, click to enlarge.

Whit Poor organized an informal and impromptu wave contest at waddell. 12 competitors showed up and a complete single elimination with loosers round was held. Although wind and waves were far from epic, everybody went above and beyond themselves in the 4-5ft setwaves and 5.7 winds. Top 4 are

1) Whit Poor

2) Ian Cooper

3) Bryce

4) Arnout Ter Schure

Thanks to Whit for organizing, and thanks to all competitors to making it hapen.
