Recent Action from Baja / Solo Sports
Here are a few great shots we got from Jem Hall shot during his recent wave camp at Solo Sports.
Jesse Brown joined him for a fun filled week. They got a crack at the new ‘09 Wave Panther. It appears they work just fine…
Ezzy Kids Action from Greece
just look at that beautiful water!
Here are some images from our importer in Greece. The sailors name is “Nikitas”, and
the photos are from the Summer 2008, Vassiliki seaside – Lefkas Island.
struck by lightning!!
we received this email from our importer in Singapore…and felt we should share this incredible story.
We had a close-call yesterday when one of our local rider’s (named Ngo) rig had been struck by lighning when he was about to come on to the shore. Luckily he had suffered only minor numbness to his left foot.
Attached pictures showing the torn and damaged sections of the sail and mast.
Apparently the lightning charges hit through the top piece section of the sail into the mast tip and it travels downward to the mast extension when his foot got hit as well.
We are happy to report Ngo is doing just fine!
Video/Photo flat water action
Our friend in Germany Wolfgang from Surf9999 sent us this footage from a recent demo of the new Panther.

Be careful…footage is a little wobbly.
Best Wishes!

Article on sailing in Greece in “Boards” magazine.
Here is a recent artice you should read if you ever plan on going to Greece to Windsurf!
Interview with David
Boardseeker just posted this interesting interview with David Ezzy.
Big thanks to Windance for a great bash!
A big heartfelt thanks goes out to Dave Nunn and the staff at Windance for our big party on Saturday.
Turnout was incredible. I pulled in the parking lot at 6:45 and managed to grab the last parking space in the whole lot! People were walking in from all directions.
Jackie had to go on multiple keg runs, as we managed to suck the well dry within the first 45 minutes. It was great seeing so many people all together in a post session glow. The wind had been 5.0-3.5 up and down the Gorge (see Gary’s post here about Doug’s earlier in the day).
After the sun set we got to peel out a brand new 2009 Ezzy Wave Panther and run thru fine tuning. People sure seem excited about getting a chance to sail this new beauty.
Thanks to Pete DeKay for forwarding the images!
