Fuerteventura Freestyle
The PWA Freestyle Grand Slam in Fuerteventura is done, and once again saw great action in both the womens and the mens fleets. In the womens division Sarah-Quita Offringa proved to be invincible on more time, showing better moves than ever before. Second place goes to Laure Treboux, who now - after the wave events in Gran Canaria and Tenerife and the freestyle here - could call herself "Queen of the Canaries", as Laure would be the best windgirl in a combined wave-freestyle ranking for sure. For the first time ever on the podium is World of Windgirls member Arrianne Aukes from the Netherlands, who did very well in the competition. Congratulations, also to Gollito Estredo, the worthy winner in the mens division!

Tushy At NWF
If you want to check out some of the latest Tushingham sails then they will be exhibiting at this years National Windsurfing Festival on Hayling Island. Here’s what the brand have to say about the kit they will taking with them -
Rock – This year’s modifications aimed at getting the power on more quickly without sacrificing any control. The changes we have made have created a sail which is crisper, lighter and more direct which enables the rider to perform moves easier whilst still maintaining that locked in feel.
Concept – The brand new 4-batten Concept blends crisp freeride performance with effortless light handling in light to medium winds. The Concept’s power, super-easy handling and light weight make it the very best sail for progression and with respectable top-end stability, it will last well beyond the early stages of planing.
Dino – The latest Dino has been carefully designed to work a wide range of conditions so that each size will be responsive in light winds whilst maintaining maximum control in stronger winds. Luff and boom lengths along with overall weight have been kept to a minimum creating a feeling of freedom and confidence, combined with the specially developed Dino masts this results in very light weight easily handled rig for the young windsurfer.
