GWITHIAN GOES OFF: EASTER SATURDAY WAVE HUNTGWITHIAN GOES OFF: EASTER SATURDAY WAVE HUNTForget Easter eggsEaster Saturday at Gwithian Beach was all about the hunt for waves and Storm Dave duly obliged delivering a full basketful of pumping swell and strong SSW winds for those that went searching!From the moment the tide dropped back, conditions were firingclean lines, solid size, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting. The line-up was stacked too: Timo Mullen, Ian Black, Duncan Coombs, Max Metcalfe, Ian Whittaker, Ollie Randell, Steve Thorp plus a heavy crew of locals and south coast blow-ins, all charging hard. It was one of those sessions where everything clicked into placewind, swell and lots of talent and enthusiasm on the water! You simply had to be there. We caught up with some of the sailors to get their take on an all-time day at Gwithian.Photos: John CarterClick any shot to enlarge and scroll! Best Viewed on the big screen!JOHN CARTERAs it happened my wife was visiting family from Friday to Sunday in the new forecast so I tagged along with the slight caveat that I would be popping down to Cornwall on the Saturday as a small interlude from family duty. Luckily my wife gave me the green light so I could score the best of both worlds. As much as I like visiting the family, Gwithian was looking all time and it was brewing up to be a day not to be missed.At first glance, the surf looked grim, but Gwithian has a way of keeping its secrets and high tide can be a master of deception. We exercised patience, detouring briefly into Hayle for an egg and sausage McMuffin at McDonaldsfuel for the coming battle with the Atlantic. By the time we returned, the tide was retreating, and Timos voice cut through the morning air: Its on!The day began slow with the conditions, but as the tide dropped, the surf transformed from sleepy to spectacular. The holiday crowd swelled by mid-morning, a perfect mix of Cornwall locals, hungry south coast talent and seasoned veterans weve admired at the recent Cornish events.Punchy, but not too hot to handle, the waves had about 2030 sailors on the water at any given moment! Gwithian was a mixture of chaos and camaraderie. Priority squabbles? Yes. Drama? Absolutely. But it was simply going off and that was all part of the game.Timo and Blacky (Ian Black) were the first in, followed by Ian Whittaker, Max Metcalfe, Ollie Randall and a parade of others. The action barely paused until 6 pm, when exhaustion and rising tides forced even the most stubborn sailors to retreat. Some snatched two or three sessions; others timed the afternoon swell just right. The wind howled all day and the waves were relentlessThe swell was not too out of control, so it looked like everybody was having a crack at hitting a few lips!Timo was on fire, ripping through massive aerials, tossing goiters and forwards off the lip like a man possessed and still managing stylish hacks for good measure. Blacky delivered classic bottom-turns into smacks with his trusty single fin, joined by local legend Andrew Fawcett going huge all afternoon. Ian Whittaker, clearly fuelled by a big night in Hayle with Max and Ollie, hammered the lips relentlessly.Steve Thorp finally nailed a wave 360 after thirty years of heroic attempts, Jan Sleigh shredded with effortless flair, and Ian Ross, predictably, went all out from start to finish.The young gunsMax Metcalfe and Ollie Randall from the Witterings, proved theyre not just keen; theyre hungry, fearless and making waves of their own. And we were lucky enough to be graced by a guest appearance from ex PWA head judge and all-round legend, Duncan Coombs, who didnt disappoint, delivering solid hacks right up and under the lip.In short: everyone was ripping. The waves were alive, the wind relentless, and the day packed with enough action, laughter and chaos to make it a day to remember. Pure Cornish magic.TIMO MULLENYeah, this day at Gwithian was always going to be either really epic or just a pretty average day. It actually turned out to be pretty epic. I guess not as good as the big day we had a few weeks ago, but kind of more fun to play withyou could go for a lot more moves. I think I caught maybe 100 waves. It was the Easter holidays, so there were loads of people there, but it was great to see. I saw so many guys I havent seen in years.Everyone was pretty much playing the game the right way, which is good to see because when its busy, you can sometimes get people forgetting the rules, but I didnt see anything too bad. It was a fun day.I sailed more downwind in the afternoon, I thought the waves were a bit bigger and punchier down there and then as the day went on, the normal spot started working again. Yeah, I was stoked. My gear was working well.And the best bit, we actually got to do some jumps, which is so rare at Gwithian. You almost never jump there because youre usually a bit underpowered, but I was fully powered on my Duotone D/LAB 4.5.And it was good to be on my favourite board, the Duotone Ultra Grip D/LAB 94L. Its the perfect size for Gwithian because it gives you a bit of float on the inside where you need it, but doesnt get too overpowered on the way out. So yeah great day. Good friends. Everyone ripping.IAN ROSSWe all know the difficulties of being a windsurfer. If you cant go when the conditions line up, then its even more frustrating than DIY. Speaking of which; Id committed to plastering over 1980s Artex ceilings the Easter weekendI hate being middle aged! What with family gatherings and work to fit in I was feeling like a regular weekend windsurfer instead of one of the guys whose lives has been set up to drop everything and head to the beach when its windy and wavy!On Saturday, all my plans went out the window and I ended up at Gwithian at just the wrong timelow tide, which usually means smaller but dumpier wavesI didnt care, I was there, the sun came out and I heard Thorpy had just landed a 360! This is a big deal to meand a bigger one to him as both of us have been trying since our teens! I was so stoked for him it fired me up like a child on 5 cream eggs!Walking down I felt a bit like I missed out as everyone else was coming off the water. Mark, Martin, Steve, Timo, Ian, other Steve and 20 others had all had a cracking time and were going to come back out in a few hours as the tide pushed. Damn you 80s Artex!No matter, I was frothing on Thorpys success and wanted a piece of the action! Conditions were really playful, 4.5 Simmer Blacktip and 72 Simmer Flywave with up to head high waves. I had so much funI hit the lip, it hit me right back, I crashed everything, landed nothing, but god it felt so good to be trying! 360s, aerials, I even let go of the clew and did a Roediger turn like he did in the Maui pro final.Of course mine was crashed! But I felt inspiredits the thing I love most about windsurfing, its so damn difficult. You rarely go out and land things easily so when you do land that backy, forward, aerial, cutback or wave 360 it can carry you through the ill health, the DIY, the hard times at work. So even though I crashed everything Im ready for the next session. Thanks for the inspiration fellow wave sailors and thanks JC for decades of inspirational photos.IAN WHITTAKERIt was a solid forecast for the Easter weekend. So, I headed to Gwithian with Sophie, my daughter, who was going to film some video of us. Max and Ollie were already there. We booked into a little pub in Hale on the Friday night. When we dropped our bags off, we saw a poster saying 90s rock surf night.We were all quite excited.The lady said to Max and Ollie that they could sleep in their cars in the car park for the night, so it was lining up perfect. Well, it really went off in therelots of funny business until 2 oclock in the morning. There was even a TikTok girl whos apparently famous, in a pink bunny outfit, doing little dances. Shes got about 5K followersits crazy.It was just a mental nightand then the DJ came on until, I dont know, about 3 in the morning. What a great night.So, in the morning we woke up with sore heads and headed to the beach. It was mast-high and the wind was filling in. Timo rigged a 5.0 and went out. It started to pick up, so I rigged my Ezzy 4.7 and my 100L Quattro and sailed for a couple of hours. It was OK, but the wave was a bit fat.I had some water and some food, waited for the low tide and then it went off for another two hourslots of turns and top-to-bottom waves. It was amazing. At that point it was dead low tide, so we went for something to eat and came back for the late session.With the mid tide coming in, I sailed all the way throughit just got better and better. One wave I rode all the way down in front of the rock to the steps. Amazing.When I came in, I was broken after six hours of sailing. It was hard work, but you have to keep it up. When youre 50, its not easy trying to keep up with the 18-year-oldsespecially with a hangover.!OLLIE RANDALLGwithian at the weekend was very fun. It was a good size and we had some nice open faces. The wind could have done with being a bit more offshore, but it was fun.It was a bit of a boys trip, yeah. We combined it together, which meant we went to the pub every evening for a few beersonly a few, because we had to go windsurfing the next day. Going on trips with Ian and Max is always a good laugh. You spend more time laughing than doing anything else, so its always a blast.It is always cool with them because if you pull out of a section or dont hit it properly, youll hear about it. That actually helpsit pushes you a bit further and makes everything more exciting. So yeah, its all good fun. For Gwithian, Id probably say a 7 out of 10 because Ive had it better. There were lots of people in the water, we scored the Bluff the day before on the Friday when we got there, so that was a bonus. It meant we got two good days of sailing in down there. So yeah, it was a good trip overall.IAN BLACKIt was always going to be a bit emotional for me. Easter Saturday generally tends to be one of our busiest days of the year at work. I needed to be walking down the cliff at 9 sharp whether it was windy or not and have a quick hour. I did my usual sail size faff, Timo obviously beating me too it, getting a few good waves before I even got to the bottomof the cliff. It looked on, but the tide was still a bit high and it was all a bit back washy.I already knew looking at it, that it was going to be firing just when I had to get out. Weve all been there. There is nothing worse! After being in full flap mode for the first few waves I had a word and ended up getting some good ones. So much for the quick hour! My bro who runs the shop floor for us wasnt exactly stoked when I rocked up at 12. Then me spending the next 4 hours watching the Gwithian cam didnt exactly help matters either.I made it back up for round 2, sort of knowing Id missed the primo tide. Nice touch! I watched the show for a bit with Marky Mark. It was chaos out there, who said windsurfing was dead!!!! It was fairly amusing to see our mates getting the full disco inferno. I will quickly say this though. If you watch the locals or the more experienced sailors, when it is super busy like that, they will nearly always sail out past the middle rock, before picking up a wave.At that point it is that sailors wave, it doesnt matter if youre upwind, downwind or the Queen of Sheba. Also, after finishing a wave theyll either wait for a gust and jet off downwind around the break or come in and walk back upwind. Sailing out through the break and falling in really is the full tourist move and just gets a bit sketchy when everyone is flying around at 30mph. That said, everyone seemed to make it in one piece with stories to tell. I ended up sailing till dark, crawling back to van in a dribbling mess, what a day!MAX METCLAFEYeah, it was an incredible trip to Gwithian funny as well. I was on a 4.2m and there were nice waves tooreally clean.And the evenings were hilarious as wellgood banter in the pub, some live music, a few antics. Sleeping in the car park in the Volvo was all part of it. I would probably give it a 7 out of 10 again.Timo was sailing really well. To be fair, everyone was sailing well. Yeahit was sick.DUNCAN COOMBSI headed down to Gwithian to catch up with the boys, there were some real top guns in town and after walking my mad collie Ziggy and checking the conditions, it turned into one of those sessions that reminds you why you love it.Nothing epic, just good fun in half-mast side shore waves, sharing the water with the new generation rather than chasing moves.A few hits made, a few missed but you always feel better for getting out there. It really brings home how lucky I am to have these conditions on my doorstep, ones that people travel the length of the country to experience.STEVE THORPThe forecastwas around 7@13 I thinkand SSW wind, which I was looking forward to as it meant some fun conditions to practice stuff in rather than scary hits and dodging death pits. On arrival the wind was Southwest and making a mess of the waves, but it meant we could relax a bit and enjoy some carpark banter instead of rushing out.I rigged my usual 4.7 Ezzy Wave, Flikka 78 (2019 and rocker #2 apparently, loaded with K4 14.5 Incinerator rears and 9 A.I fronts). Once on the water it was actually really fun conditions because the wind was surprisingly consistent, usually youll get big light patches because of the cliffs and the current, but it was possible to plane out and get the odd jump and get around easily.Then the magic happened, the wind swung to the promised SSW and the tide dropped out and it turned into the best Gwithian weve had for quite a while. On bigger swells the low tide is not so great as it all gets a bit heavy and closes out, but with the banks at the moment and the smaller swell, it was perfect timing. Considering it was Easter holidays it was pretty quiet too! Plenty of waves for the boys that had travelled down, Timo Mullen, Ian Whittaker, Max Metcalfe, Oliver Randall, Nick Moffatt, and the usual locals all ripping it up!And this is when it happened. The culmination of a lifetimes work, a dream I thought would never come to fruition, I landed my first wave 360. Ive gotta mention Chucky here who helped make this happen. Over the years Ive banged my head against the 360 wall with many other sailors attempting to nail the elusive 360, all have given up the fight, so broken theyve took up kiting or winging but Chucky has stuck with it. Weve had a little 360 club sharing tips and videos, regaling and commiserating after a hard day of 100s of failed attempts, analysing, reassessing, checking Surfline for the next forecast to do it all again. A couple of years back, Chucky stuck his first one, an epic one, just as I pulled into the Gwithian car park. My mind was blown. He showed it was possible, and possible at Gwithian, he kept the dream alive and poured kerosine on the fire.JAN SLEIGHGwithian turned it on for Easter Sunday! I dont think it gets much better as the strong wind solid wave combo we got was perfect for jumping and riding. And we even had a bit of sunshine.I arrived for the afternoon sessionpushing tide and increasing wind. The buzz in the car park was Thorpy had made a perfect wave 360a milestone achievement from a lifetime dedication to windsurfing!I decided to make sure I was powered up and go with a 5.0 and my 95L Naish Global small board for my 100kg wet frame. The wave riding was really fun, the jumping was epic. Im still nursing a foot injury so had to be careful and selective with my jumps. Made a few and fluffed a few. Great session lots of smiling faces on the water. Such a good vibe and awesome to see windsurfing alive with so many people ripping!MARKY MARK!Before I had even had a coffee the webcam showed vans already in the car park. Around low water was my window for sailing. By the time I got to the beach there were plenty out and more getting ready. The early crew one sesh in the bag already, and plenty of smiles all round.The conditions were pretty hollow and hard to read at times, with some big ones rolling through. There was some fearless sailing going on, some big swims, but equally some epic moments to be had. Good to see the young guns sending hard in pretty challenging conditions. After sailing it was just nice to watch the action from the dunes.ALEX SIMMONSI bought a Duotone Grip 4 93 off Timo several months back and have been waiting for a good day to use it properly. Usual story- whenever its been epic Ive been working- although I only live locally. Im based in Truro so have no excuse as I said to Timo I learnt to windsurf age 8 (my dad taught me in Tenerife) and really got into it in my early teens so at age 51 now Im just starting to get into it properly having practised for 43 years(youd think Id be good- but no)- anyway doubt you have me in your pics as there were amazing sailors there to photograph (but if I happen to be in the way its me on the blue and orange Ezzy taka with a lumo orange helmet(thats just to give everyone an outside chance of seeing me swimming about in the impact zone as I do!)- anyway- I had an epic sail (for me) with waves at about the limit of my comfort zone. Windsurfing is the best sport on the planet and there cant be many other sports where you can be welcomed onto the pitch with professional players and heroes and be given the space to learn. I had a great day with the standout moment being one of my best bottom turns yet (before getting absolutely pummelled), loved it! Happy to be quoted but realise there are bigger fish to fry!! CheersMARIO WSThis was my first session back on the water since my Lisfranc injury in Marazion at Christmas 2024and its hard to describe what this one meant. Talk of compartment syndrome, two surgeries in Basel, endless physio, months of not knowing how (or if) Id get back to this.Progress was slow, sometimes frustrating, and anything but linear. And then I was back at Gwithian. Kept it sensible but managed to get both feet in the straps and a few short planing runs. Nothing flashy, just that feeling of the board releasing again and that was enough. This isnt about being back to full power yetit was about rebuilding, session by session. Learning to trust the foot again, staying patient, and appreciating every run.Huge thanks to Justina Sniady, Robby Swift, Ben Proffitt and Marc Par for the advice and support along the way. And especially to the local crewSteven, Ed and Janefor getting me off the beach, to hospital and back again. And to my family and friends you know who you areit makes a difference. Big thanks as well to John Carter for capturing these momentsreally special to have this session documented. Thank you! Just a step, but a big one. Good to be back!The post GWITHIAN GOES OFF: EASTER SATURDAY WAVE HUNT appeared first on Windsurf Magazine Online.

MARINE HUNTER: FINDING THE FLOWMARINE HUNTER: FINDING THE FLOWFollowing here emphatic victory at the Maui Pro Am, we caught up with Marine Hunter to find out more about the background behind her success. From coaching insights, equipment choices and a new mindset, Marine tells us how she turned from chaos to calm and found her flow in Maui.Photos: Fish Bowl Diaries / PWA / WWTCOACHING WITH GRAHAM EZZYWINDSURF: Tell us about your coaching with Graham Ezzy and how that built your confidence going into the event? MARINE HUNTER: I was invited to his first clinic in Denmark back in 2020 and I really liked his approach of wave-riding. Grahams philosophy is that the wave has to do the work and it made a lot of sense to me. In my head wave riding was meant to be a lot of hard work and I thought I would never be good enough at it but he transformed it into a much more natural thing.I really want to win the Aloha Classic in 2026 and even though I did well in 2025 I knew I could do better. The format of the training was exactly what I needed, we had short sessions with very simple things to implement. The training was focused on the stuff I usually found less exciting like heat strategy and wave riding basics, but I knew I had to change my approach if I wanted different results and trust my coach and the process.My goal was to win and I did! I had a lot more confidence on the water, I had a different strategy than at my previous contests, tools to calm down my anxiety and more confidence in my skills. Working with him was an absolute game changer, I never thought I could win all my heats. The training really made me step out of my comfort zone but it was so worth it!I tend to think that difficult things have more value but Im learning this is not necessarily true and I dont always have to chase after the hardest things to obtain what I want, even though I would LOVE to land super flashy moves in a heat. My problem is that I usually skip the basics to try the most technical things first. The coaching was actually much more challenging than I thought.Graham made me go for set waves right at the beginning of the sessions whereas I normally warm up on smaller waves and gradually go for bigger waves as I build my confidence. Coming from France and being an English Channel regular, Im not used to sailing in mast high waves several times a week, which can be the case at Hookipa, and I was fighting my sense of overwhelming and fear. I was wearing a helmet with a talkie and I would hear his instructions live: go hit it!! and other things I didnt really want to do in the moment!It was pretty intense sometimes and I really had to step out of my comfort zone, but Graham is a great coach with a lot of patience and generosity who also managed to make me believe in my own abilities, which was maybe the hardest. Im super grateful to him and Im looking forward to the next training sessions. Thanks a lot Graham for your patience, your encouragements, your kindness and lets keep pushing for the Aloha!DIALLED IN: GEAR THAT DELIVERSWINDSURF: What gear were you riding and how do you like your Quatro boards? MARINE HUNTER: I was riding my Goya Iris 4,7m and my Quatro Pyramid 87, thats my biggest set of gear. The Iris which is a version of the Banzai Surf is also a pretty versatile and balanced sail, I know how I can use the lower end by rigging it differently for very light winds. I wanted to have enough mobility on the spot so that I could keep my options open and be more serene. Ive had that board for a while, so I know it well, it also won for me in Sylt! And I know that despite the volume I can handle the turns if its non planing conditions. Ive actually come to appreciate even more the wide range of my production boards after sailing them on such vast array of spots and conditions. I always have a little adaptation period in the beginning with new gear, but I dont have to fight it in any way, sail and board work in sync and thats how I like it.MAUI LIVINGWINDSURF: Are you living in Maui full time and what do you do there? MARINE HUNTER: Im still living there part time but the goal is to be here full time. This is my second stay of 6 months. I had the opportunity to work at the Quatro Goya shop, I would do mornings until 2pm and I would go sail in the afternoons; Im also training twice a week with Sarah Hauser.On top of that I was doing some work-trade and gardening early morning or after sunset to pay for my accommodation during my first stay, to be honest Ive never been busier in my entire life, it was quite exhausting. This year I unfortunately couldnt keep my job and I was free a month before the contest ; the silver lining was that I was in better shape than in 2025 when I just wouldnt hear the alarm ring to get up to go sailing after quick nap, I would just pass out after work the week before the contest. For most people it may not look like a super intense rhythm, but I dont have a lot of stamina and I can easily overdo it thinking Im not doing enough. Ill see what comes my way when I go back this winter, but yes the goal is to be there full time.WINDSURF: What was you attitude going into the event? Go hard or go home? MARINE HUNTER Go calm, that was my attitude this time!THE MOMENT IT LANDEDWINDSURF: How did it feel when you found out you had won?MARINE HUNTER: I was elated! I actually rushed back to the beach after the heat because I was eager to find out the result and when I saw people waving at me, I checked that they were not waving at another finalist sailing behind me (you never know!) and when I set foot on the sand I got confirmation that I had won and I was so, so happy. Two days later when my friends came to celebrate at home and I think all the pressure came off, I was very touched by their kindness and I broke down into tears, I dont think I realized that it meant so much to me.RAISING THE BAR: THE WOMENS FLEETWINDSURF: What was the level like in the womens fleet? MARINE HUNTER Everybody is pushing hard and is so talented! It took me at least six months to get accustomed to the spot and learn how to read it after coming to Hookipa already three times, while Lisa Wermeister or Maria Behrens had already had podiums or top 4 results after only a few weeks spent at Hookipa. I was not getting how the spot worked at all. Pauline scored 5th place at the Aloha Classic last year for her first time here which is amazing coming from someone who lives in Pozo which is the polar opposite of Hookipa. Sol is committing full power and Lina caught up at an impressive speed with a great result. Seasoned riders like Angela know exactly what they need to do and are in every single final. I feel like I can never rely on my current abilities on tour because everyone improves year by year.BEYOND MAUIWINDSURF: Are you doing any other events or just Maui? MARINE HUNTER: Well now that I have more free time than expected Im considering going to other events, I need to sit down and plan my year.WHY WE RIDEWINDSURF: What do you love about windsurfing? MARINE HUNTER So many things! I love being literally immersed in nature, I love the travel that brings me to the beach, I love sharing my passion with other people, I love the feeling of being the captain of my own ship, I love spending time with my windsurf friends, meeting new friends and going on sometimes dodgy adventures. I love that I feel good in this windsurf world and Im very grateful I get to be part of it.MORE TO LEARNWINDSURF: What areas are you trying to improve in your wave sailing? MARINE HUNTER: Ill keep working on the competition aspect of wave riding and I would also love to become more consistent with aerials and work on other manoeuvres like 360 and jumps on starboard tack. Theres so much to learn. Id love to be able to land a big air in a heat!GRATITUDE AND GROWTHWINDSURF: Who would you like to thank? MARINE HUNTER: Thank you to everybody who helped and supported me, who gave me kind words, who gave me grace, thank you to my coaches Sarah Hauser and Graham Ezzy, my sponsors Quatro/Goya, my boyfriend, my friends and family, thank you to all the people and situations who taught me lessons and gave me opportunities to do some self-reflection.Im also simply very grateful for this spring event that brings me back on a positive track after personal difficulties for the second time. I didnt show up for a lot of things these last two years, I let sponsors and people down. I had a lot of things to deal with and I did not put on my best behaviour, I went into avoidance and hiding mode. Now I feel more ready to catch up.!The post MARINE HUNTER: FINDING THE FLOW appeared first on Windsurf Magazine Online.
