JP…one of the worlds most dedicated shredders

we LOVE getting updates from JP.  The guy puts in more hours on the water than I think he does on land.

“I had an amazing winter, best ever….. Although I think I say that every winter.  We were up in Nor cal for Oct, then Baja for 3 months, then mainland Mexico for almost 2 months.  I was heading up to the Gorge last week and packing up in LA but the swell that was forecasted was too much.  I had to do a quick run to carlos.  Glad I did.”

Enjoy THESE pics, thanks to Clark Merrit.

some pics from Manuel Aleman in Puerto Rico!

“Here is picture of my kids when they received their new toy!!  Others are pictures on the water..where the fun is!

We held a regatta ton Sunday and it was awesome!! We are lucky to have such a wonderful place to sail!!! Take care”

Thanks for sharing Manuel!

New Review of the Free3ride from Ezzy

Boardseeker.com has just posted a review of the new Free3ride here.

“The dark panel on the Free(ride)3 consists of Technora® fibers. Technora® is a para-aramid fiber that weight for weight is 8 times stronger than steel and 3 times stronger than nylon and Dacron®. Since Technora® is so light, we are able to save considerable weight in the sail. Furthermore, the low stretch of Technora® means less stretch distortion along the leech when a gust hits, producing a more stable feeling sail.
How does the Free(ride)3 compare to our previous Freeride sails?

1.The new Free(ride)3 points significantly higher and has a much
greater reaching angle.
2.Higher wind range. You can comfortably sail the new Freeride one
square meter bigger and one square meter smaller.
3.Lighter and much easier to handle.

Other key features:

* Contains no monofilm.
* Body panels made with Spectra X Ply.
* RBS epoxy battens.
* Vinyl window. Removable triple block tack pulley with D-ring option.
* Colour coded outhaul and downhaul rigging indicators.
* Every sail is rigged and checked in our factory.”

Cuno from Amsterdam

As my ‘06 SE’s are used “all over the world” (capetown, maui, west australia, holland, UK, cabarete) for a couple of years they need relpacemend.  I just ordered a new ezzy 4,2-4,7-5,2 and 5,8 quiver.  I love them.  Off to mauritius in a couple of months to give it them a proper test

Thanks for a great product.

Keep living it up and pls keep producing great sails!
