HONOLULU (Jan. 21, 2009) — Organizers of the Quiksilver Premium Ku Ikaika Challenge, sponsored by C4 Waterman, have decided NOT to run today. While the swell at Makaha is from an optimal direction, it is not of the desired height. Waves this morning are around eight feet with the occasional larger set, offering competitors a great warm-up day of surfing.

Here’s an update from Starboard Team Rider, John Hibbard, all the way from UK.
After winning the UK Distance title in 2008 I started thinking about some longer distance paddling. Most of our races were between 4-8 miles. I quite fancied trying to do some much longer paddles. Then one day while doing a bit of internet research I came across the Devizes to Westminster Canoe and Kayak race. This is the world’s longest race for canoes. 125 miles in total spread across 4 days. This looked like just the ticket. In fact it was a fair bit longer than I was actually thinking of, but it would be an amazing challenge.

FOR Layne Beachley, home has never been a constant.
Throughout a surfing career that spanned two decades and seven world titles she saw hundreds of hotel rooms and scores of beaches.
As a young woman working through the struggles of her adoption, there was an emotional journey surrounding her identity as well.
But after her decision to retire in October, a “refreshed” Beachley is back on the Northern Beaches for good.

My short trip to Thailand to check out the biggest windsurfing company, Starboard, was quite an experience. I was able to interview Starboard’s founder and 4-time windsurfing world champion, Svein Rasmussen. Svein talked about Starboard beginnings and how it has become what it is now. It’s pretty amazing how his “40-year-cycle” theory on board design has led him to make a crossover between windsurfing and stand paddle surfing. Svein is sitting next to Margareta Engstrom who runs marketing for Starboard and is also a professional windsurfer and avid SUP paddler.
