Gran Canaria Grand Slam Day 7
Men´s Wave Double Elimination
Windsurfing doesn´t get any better than this, Pozo was firing with mental 3.3 conditions and a solid swell. The competitors where writing history out there today. First out of the Simmer fleet was Junko Nagoshi J-11, with excellent wave selection and vertical top turns, Junko set the level high in her heat against Karin Jaggi Z-14.
Pozo local José Remero E-45 sure turned some heads today, at only 18 he already has a natural fluent style, relentlessly making his way through the the elimination ladder. We will be hearing more about this young Spanish ripper.
Next out in the semi-final was Dario Ojeda E-211 against Ricardo Campello V-111. Ojeda wasted no time, opening the heat with a massive backloop over the horizon which Campello answered with a high stalled double forward. You don´t get much more action than this heat.
Jonas Ceballos E-40 was next out to take on Campello, opening the heat with a massive stalled forward. This is real Pozo action with both competitors boosting high above the horizon, well over 40 feet into the air. Stalling about six seconds before executing their rotations. Both sailor putting a lifetime of performance.

A quick word from Jason Diffin, Maui
From Simmer Style sail-designer Jason Diffin on Maui.
We have been treated with a few small east wind swells here on Maui to help break up the flatness of summer. We had one day of head to logo high surf, and a number of head high days in the last few weeks.
The 08 wave sails are in production and will be heading out into the market in the next months.
The 08 flat-water sails are complete as well, so now we are looking hard on the product line for 2009.
I'm super excited about the new high performance GROM kids sails. For 08 the sails have been improved in performance and geometry to be easier to sail and lighter in the hands.
Once again, I am always stoked to receive mails and comments from distributors or sailors about the products. This is how we can make the stuff better for everyone. jasondiffin@simmerhawaii.com
Kind Regards,
JD
