Forget the Bucket List Here’s the Badger List!
Set is the key word. There are still some great videos out there, in DVD and digital format but there are often quite a few gaps. Windsurfing doesn’t begin with the Carve gybe, nor does it begin with planing. There is much more to it and I wanted to try and put the same focus into teaching the beginning of windsurfing as into teaching higher levels. By having it online and easy to access it will hopefully open it up to as many people as possible from total beginner, to instructor, to someone who is looking for what to learn next. But rather than talk too much about what’s coming I’ll tell you a little of the location I filmed it in. If I had a second home town Bitez/Ortakent would be it, and from a windsurfing point of view it was fundamental in getting me to where I am now. On a holiday in 1998 was the first time I got in the footstraps just outside Bitez bay and was also the first place I got a job as an overseas instructor in 2003. It was where I did my “first” of many of the moves in this set of videos. I worked for 5 years in this area and its hard to beat as a place that caters for every level of windsurfer. I’ll leave you with a little taste of whats to come and what Neilson Ortakent was like. Massive thanks to Life Cinematic for filming and production and also to Neilson holidays for getting us there and looking after us all the way through. Without both UK and Overseas staff none of this would have been possible. The full tuition set of the Badger List is coming soon.

Camille Juban storms the Pacasmayo Classic 2012

Camille Juban won the windsurf division of the Pacasmayo Classic 2012, in Peru.
The young French windsurfer displayed a very secure performance in the wonderful Peruvian waters, while training for the professional circuit.
"I was super excited to go to Peru and my plan was to go there right after Mexico so I had time to train and do a better result. When I arrived, I met my good friend Fabrice Beaux, who had the same. It was perfect because we got to sail and train together", explains Juban.
"My father and younger brother also came one week before and I even train harder with Tom, landing some tricks and sailing for hours and hours. I was really prepared for the single elimination and I knew I had to do good in the single because we were not sure to have enough conditions for the double elimination".

FOTOS/PICS
Hi there!
I put this pictures up already on the FB page... but forgot about the blog... all this technology is starting to be a bit annoying! even though I am supposed to have it all linked and working together! but anyways...
Well, here you have some of the pictures from that last day of SUP I did, where I decided I didnt feel confident enough anymore. They are from Rubén Grimón, a really good young Canariar photographer. I hope you like them!
Hola!!!
Ya puse estas fotos en la página del FB, pero me olvidé del blog... tanta "social network" me está empezando a volver loca! Y todo a pesar de que se supone que lo tengo todo "ligado" y funcionando al mismo tiempo! pero a veces no funciona... no se...
Bueno, aquí les dejo algunas fotos de esa última sesión de SUP donde decidí que ya no tengo la confianza suficiente para seguir SUPing con el barrigón. Las fotos son de Rubén Grimón, un joven fotografo canario muy bueno... Espero que les gusten!

Protect Our Waves
SAS (Surfers Against Sewage) are running a campaign to raise awareness of the protection our coastline needs, and they need your help.
The aim of SAS’s Protect Our Waves petition is to generate at least 100,000 signatures to highlight the value of surfing waves and locations to the UK government and encourage MPs to debate legislation in order to recognise the importance of waves as a cultural, social, economic and environmental asset to coastal communities.
SAS believes that waves and surf spots deserve to be seen as part of UK heritage and should be afforded greater recognition and protection through debate and legislation.
By signing the Protect Our Waves petition: “I am calling on Parliament to debate the economic and intrinsic value of UK surfing waves and beaches, and produce specific legislation to protect these unique, finite assets for this and future generations.”
