By Jo Moseley @jomoseleyAs a sailor and sub-aqua diver, one of my Dads favourite phrases has always been, A tidy ship is a safe ship. As a paddler, I have definitely taken this on board. Keeping our kit organised saves time when we want to get on the water and makes it easier to transport and clean afterwards. It is even better when the bag you use is made from recycled plastic fabric and comes in recycled packaging.I have long admired the C Monsta brand, founded by seasoned cold-water surfer Mark Yeadon. My favourite piece is the C Monsta recycled hanger, which is perfect for drying wetsuits, boots, and gloves, keeping them looking good and lasting longer.I also have the changing mat, which is excellent for SUP especially useful when protecting the inbuilt socks of drysuit pants and cold-water swimming.I was therefore keen to review the 30-litre mini split bag the latest C Monsta product. This is a smaller version of their successful split bag made from the same recycled plastic fabric. It is excellent for smaller bits of kit or non-paddling days, picnics and beach clothes. The two compartments are fantastic for keeping wet and dry things separate no need for extra plastic bags for swimsuits, boots, and gloves! Each compartment has a double waterproof pocket. I like the attention to detail with one orange and one black to differentiate each side.It has two comfortable fabric carry straps and one padded shoulder strap. The base is reinforced for durability and looks good. Likewise, it is double-layered for longevity. There are also adjustable straps with orange buckles to keep the bag contents secure when carrying. These also keep the bag flat when not in use, so you can store it without taking up much space. Then, you are ready and organised for the next adventure. All in all, its a great bag for paddlers and picnickers alike!Dimensions:Length: 38cmWidth: 24cmTall: 36cm Weight: 1.4kgVolume: 33 litresPrice: 45https://c-monsta.com/collections/split-bags/products/c-monsta-split-bag-uk

KONA POWER: WILD AND WINDY MAUI PHOTOS!KONA POWER: WILD AND WINDY MAUI PHOTOS!A wild, Kona day at Lanes pushed many of the Maui crew to their limits and forced Sarah Jackson to push past her own. On Mauis notoriously tricky port-tack waves, Sarah faced one of her biggest fears, dropping into her first Kona swells and ticking off a long-awaited milestone. With a couple of waves under her belt and the wind still building, she wisely swapped her windsurf gear for her camera and settled in to watch chaos unfold.What followed was an unforgettable afternoon of full-power sailing, heavy beatings, and mind blowing performances from some of the worlds best. From Morgan Noireaux launching into the stratosphere to Marcilio Browne carving with precision, plus standout classic sailing from Robby Naish and Levi Siver, Lanes delivered a full power Kona spectacle!SARAH JACKSON: So today, we rocked up at the beach and the forecast looked like it was going to get windier and windier as the day went on. So, I met Coko pretty early on, like 12-ish, and it was already nuking. I arrived there just as Coko was going out, and she was on 3.7m. I watched her sail, and I think she rode like 5 waves and she just got, absolutely nailed.NUKING The waves werent crazy, it was like head to logo, but it was just crazy windy.Coco came in just as I was heading out and I shouted, was it worth it? And she was like, nope, absolutely not!FACING YOUR FEARI still went out because I havent had a good wave session yet at Lanes. Kona conditions are still a scary thing for me. So, I thought, you know, go out and face your fears and see how it goes.Anyway, I rode one wave, and it kind of disappeared underneath me. I picked a small one, and kicked out from that, and then I said to myself, you need to pick something a bit bigger next time.So, I took the last wave of a set, and nailed three turns, but Im pretty sure, if I watched a video of it, Im pretty certain I went straight and maybe did a little wiggle. When I made it to the channel, I breathed a sigh of relief and thought yeah, thatll do me for today and I sailed straight in. It was just so windy, like you couldnt do anything. I couldnt sheet in. I was fully maxed on 3.7m and it was pretty crazy.CAMERA DUTYThen Coco and I went home and picked up the cameras and Morgan went home to go and pick up his 3.7m. You know its windy when Morgans going on the same size as you were on. For the rest of the afternoon, we watched the boys and they really put on a show.MORGAN ON FIREThe absolute standout rider of the day was Morgan. He did two back loop off the lip attempts.Then he landed like a perfect forward off the lip and he was going for goiters, 360s and massive aerials.I think one of them was the biggest aerial Ive ever seen. I watched him do as I pulled into the car park, which was pretty insane. He just kept on going up and up and up. It was like watching the guys jumping in Pozo, but he hit a lip instead of like off a ramp, which was insane.Marcilio was kind of riding with huge rails turns, whereas Morgan was putting on way more of an aerial show.It was really cool to watch Robby Naish. He got pounded on the rocks the last time and didnt even make it out. So it was really cool to see him ripping.Levi did some nice aerials and took a big swim as well. He said earlier when he was out, he had like one of the longest swims of his life because he ejected and then his gear flew off the back of the wave and it was so windy at that point that like he had to swim for like 100m to go and get his gear!He was just desperately hoping that it didnt hit the channel because it was like flooding out and so strong that he wasnt sure that if it was in the channel, he was even going to make it.All in all it was a pretty spectacular dayOne to remember!The post KONA POWER: WILD AND WINDY MAUI PHOTOS! appeared first on Windsurf Magazine Online.

Im so happy to be here and to win.Escribano set the tone early in the final, landing a perfect back loopand a huge push loop, before shifting focus to composed wave riding to secure the title. It was clear that he has enjoyed Geraldtons conditions and atmosphere.Geraldton and The Spot are perfect places to windsurf,he said. The atmosphere is so good with all the kids everywhere and everyone happy all the time. I made a lot of friends here and Im super happy to win the world title.Japans Ryoma Sugifinished runner-up in the U18 division before returning to the water to claim an impressive victory in the U21 Boys Final. A relaxed and confident Sugi thrilled spectators with precise forward and backward rotating loops and sharp snaps in the waves.That was so fun,Sugi said. I didnt feel as much pressure in the U21, so I could relax and just enjoy it. Im really happy to win that division.Australias top-ranked junior boy, Tyler Wallrodt(Albany), completed an exceptional event with third-place finishes in both the U18 and U21 divisions, showcasing massive forward loops and stylish wave riding.To compete against the best in the world my age and still finish third in the world is pretty unreal, Wallrodt said. Its definitely motivated me to push harder, but making friends with people from all around the world has been the biggest highlight.Also impressing was a focused 12-year-old Isaac Gill(Perth), who demonstrated exciting future potential by reaching the U18 Boys Final with loops and wave riding well beyond his years.In the Junior Girls, Geraldton local Sarah Kenyonwas crowned 2025 Junior Girls World Wave Champion, sealing the prestigious title in front of a home crowd.

By Sarah Thornely http://www.supjunkie.co.ukFor over 140 years, the Helly Hansen brand has had a huge global presence but was started inauspiciously in the harsh Norwegian elements by Captain Helly Juell Hansen and his wife Maren Margarethe, who began the process of soaking coarse linen with linseed oil to create water-resistant clothing for workers at sea. Fast forward to the modern day, and the brand now caters predominately for extreme sports such as sailing and skiing, so you can bet your bottom dollar that their products will work well for stand up paddleboarders and those who love the water.For me, comfort is key, so I was delighted when I opened my package from HH and felt the fabric of the Waterwear Tights 2.0. Buttery soft, and incredibly high-stretch, these 2mm thick neoprene tights felt wonderful, indicating how they would feel once worn.They have reinforced knee panels, which are incredibly useful for paddleboarding. Sometimes, we are up and down on our knees along our journey, so its great to have the extra padding.The female formThe cut is beautiful and designed with the female form in mind. The waist is nice and high to ensure the tights stay in place during fast-paced action, particularly if racing or getting on and off the water often. They also have a wide, sticky-grip waistband. It is also very nice to protect your lower back from the cold. If you are wearing a matching top or cag, I think there is no chance of a draught getting to your midriff a nice touch.Finished with flatlock seams for comfort, a gusset in the crotch area for freedom of movement, and a cool graphic logo, these are not only comfortable but very smart-looking. I have the navy in a size large but could possibly have gotten away with a medium. Nevertheless, its lovely to be able to pull on (and off) a pair of neoprene leggings with ease, so I am grateful this time for my slight sizing error!Being 2mm, these are perfect for general paddling at this time of year and pretty much year-round in the UK. Snuggly and soft to wear, they are a great product, and Im definitely going to get a huge amount of use from them.These, along with all the other WaterWear products in the range, have been developed in collaboration with the Norwegian National Sailing Team, so you know the kit will be comfortable and fit for purpose.Check out the extensive range of products on the Helly Hansen website and be assured of traditional high quality and innovative designs.Available in sizes XS to XL in two colourwaysof Navy (shown) and Jade.Price: 95.00https://www.hellyhansen.com/en_gb/women-s-waterwear-tights-2-0
