Testimony from Volodymyr Rudnytskyy
“I received the Infinity 7.5 about a month earlier, thank you for your help.
I’d like to tell a few words about the sail. I really find it extraordinary. I’m planning at 5 m/c already, 12-15 m/c was also OK for me with 7.5. Center of effort (maybe it is not a correct definition) is very stable – for low and high wind I did not change the position of harness lines. Very good behavior on gusts. Easy and comfortable handling. Though I suppose you know yourself very well all of that 
Also I have to say I like the way Ezzy approach the customer. Sail rigging step-by-step guidance, different masts compatibility tools/cams, and of course the quality of the sail together with the use of technologically superior materials, all these things make your company the best in the industry… Even the quality of the sail cover says it is extraordinary company.
Thank you and all your team,
Volodymyr
Ezzy forever ”
thank you Volodymyr!
“Get High or Die” Contest
The 16th and 17th of may the first Punta Blanca “Get High or Die” contest was held.
A fun contest with everyone watching being a judge through voting. There was a regular competition and also an expression session with prices for the biggest crash, the highest jump and the gay-est manouevre.
Not only the most radical jumps scored but also progression/commitment. To land or even just try moves for the first time also counted.
The winds weren´t as strong as predicted but there still was some good action with many riders going for new things.
After the regular competition the results were:
1-Will Ward (Witchcraft-Ezzy)
2-Victor Moncloa (Sailboards Tarifa-Ezzy)
3-Pieter Delaleeuw (Witchcraft-Ezzy)
Here is the video:

The King of Lake Isabella
What a great time we had at Lake Isabella! Thanks so much to everyone for coming to celebrate a stellar sendoff for Southwest Boardsports.
A heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone who helped with this event. John, Richard, Dawn, Kate, Bob and Bob, and of course Peter Jones. Peter, you have been a critical dealer for us for many years and we’re going to miss not having you as our Southern California powerhouse dealer. No one is more stoked on the sport of windsurfing than Peter. We know good things are coming down the road however. We look forward to working the details out soon.
The wind was a little light but Peter’s margaritas made everything just fine. Again, thank you all for coming and for trying out our ‘09 sail collection. All hail the king!
Kind Regards,
Tim

The pics are taken from some of my recent riding sessions in Italy with Fanatic twinzer and Ezzy Panther…. cold and gusty, but overall good conditions!
Ezzy Panther is awesome in such conditions, delivering always the right power with both the gust on and off.
I am really enjoying these sails!
Ciao

Ezzy Freeride 7.0 Feedback from Jose Pla
Today I sailed for the first time my new Ezzy Freeride 2009, 7.0m.
This sail is great!
Never feels as a 7.0 and really delivers great power, speed, control and performance.
I was planning quickly on 13 to 14 knots of wind with a 122 lt board.
Here is a video with the sail, sailing in Punta las Marias, Puerto Rico
Thanks!

Great Lakes Demo Tour Update
“We had a great demo today (Saturday) so I thought I’d give you some feedback on the new 8.5 Infinity.
The conditions were 20mph with gusts 25+. The sail was rigged to the white settings and the draft was very stable and locked in place.
Also, good progressive twist. There was good acceleration following the twist not just a spilling of the air. Sail rotation in jibes was very fast and smooth. Cambers moved effortlessly. It was also rigged on an Ezzy 490.
Brian Deimling sailed it most of the day and I had a couple of rides on it too. Needless to say, it was smiles all around.
Sincerely,
Mark Beauman”
