Jamie Hancock wins the first round UKWA in 40 knots+
12.05.2009
UKWA Waves Round 1: Brandon Bay:
 Brandon Bay delivered epic conditions that pushed even the top Pros this week during the contest. Gowlane provided cross offshore, logo high conditions on Day 1 and all fleets got to play.
Day 2 was very extreme and it was lucky that the Pro contest was down to the last six guys as the rest of
the Pros were nervously waiting at the beach waiting to see whether they would be sent out in the 40knot+ winds and mast high sets at Stradbally. The top six of Rob Jones, Phil Horrocks, Andy King, Ben Proffitt, John Skye and Jamie Hancock were truly tamed by the gnarly conditions simply surviving at some points to stay upright and alive in the monster gusts and gnarly waves. It was a very impressive performance watched by most of the Maharees residents from the sand dunes.
Day 3 saw a highly competitive amateur, masters, youth and ladies fleets compete at Fermoyle in head high waves and cross shore winds – perfect conditions for them. And afterwards 200 was up for grabs in the
Boardseeker Expression Session - Mikey Clancy ended up pocketing the cash with a huge backloop! Day 4 was almost competable but the wind eased off and official competition was over for 2009. Round 2 of the UKWA Wave Tour starts THIS Friday at Rhosneigr in North Wales.

 2009
Mast range
14.11.2008
Gun Sails Mast line 2009 Our masts are now equipped, from the
Cross Line on, with an exclusive and distinctive surface
finishing. The high percentage of reflective particles reduces the
aging process of the resin and protects the mast from thermal
exposure. The impact strength and breaking resistance are even
more increased due to this procedure.

The Brand new 2009 Steel
23.09.2008
Steel - the new radical wave sail We would like to give you a foretaste of our
brand-new radical wave sail STEEL.
The steel will be the follow-up model of the Hammer and will be available from
November 2008 on. The sail will still be built in a 100% x-ply monofilm
construction in order to stand the hardest conditions.
Designed with a new panel layout and a luff panel out of robust dacron material,
it offers a perfect and soft on/off in waves. The batten positioning was also
re-worked, thus now the centre of effort is a bit deeper and the use in upper
winds was improved.

Quiver Plan Generator 07.10.2003
There are many things to consider when planning your quiver but the key factors are firstly the optimum sail for your board(s) and secondly the size gap between each sail (the increment). You will get the best results from your quiver if the increment is based on a percentage rather than a fixed amount e.g. half a square metre.
