Don't Let Go, hitting screens soon!

The next two videos that caught our eyes came out at the end of the week, firstly it’s amazing to see Zara Davis on the BBC here and if you fancy something totally different check out Brawzi and Levi shredding in Maui here. 

Coming up the Christmas there has of course been a lot of penny saving present ideas and competitions around too: Lagoon Watersports in Hove have some great voucher offers, Tech Trial are selling the Drift Camera at an insanely low price, the Baker Academy are running a competition to win 8 hours of coaching, Juice Boardsports have vouchers with 10% extra free, Tushingham are running a competition to win a Starboard fin bag,  Ocean Elements are running some early bookers deals for 2013, as are Club Vass (with holidays to both Vassilki and Dahab centres)! Now that’s a whole lot of offers!

Finally in this weeks news, our sister site Boardseeker are proud to announce that the shiny new site is now up and running, so if you haven’t checked it out already head on over there now for more of an international windsurfing fix.

After the great success of our first ‘LiveChat’ with multiple world champion and top racer Antoine Albeau, we have two more former champs lined up for a grilling.

Francisco Goya, World Wave Champion in 2000 and the man behind Goya boards and sails will be joined by 2007 World Freestyle Champion and one of the most impressive wave sailors today, Marcilio ‘Brawzinho’ Browne. The LiveChat is scheduled to take place TODAY, the 1st March at 8pm (GMT) or 10am for anyone in Maui!

Francisco rejoined the PWA in 2009 for the Cabo Verde event - finishing in an amazing 5th place

Former World Freestyle Champion Marcilio ‘Brawzinho’ Browne has released this video of him sailing on Maui. After a recent change to Goya boards and sails, it seems to be business as usual for Brawzinho as he tears apart wave after wave. Expect to see his usual radical mix of Goitas, Wave 360s and insane Air Takas along with his powerful riding style – awesome action.
Marcilio also recently relaunched his website – to keep up to date with everything Browne, head over to marciliobrowne.com.

Whilst on the website you may come across this clip. It’s from a little while back but shows why Brawzinho is one of the best waveriders in the world with a sick Double Air Taka ‘attempt’. Landed off the back still counts surely?
