SIMMER STYLE FLATWATER SAILS 2007
SIMMER STYLE NEWSLETTER N.2 2007 By admin on 2/18/2007
Quality, Performance and Style are the fundamental features of all Simmer designs. For 2007, we are pleased to introduce our newly re-modeled Flatwater line up of Freeride, Freerace and Full Race models.

SPARK is the sail for recreational and introductory high performance sailing.

X-TYPEII is the sail for full power speed, maneuver and jump sailing.

 Freerace models 2XC and 3XC are direct descendents of the Full Race SC and FC sails- used with great success by Benoit and Sylvain Moussilmani on the PWA World Tour.  

The Mouss brothers have used their testing and race experience to develop the full race sails to top performance, and that knowledge is directly input into the design of the 2 ...

Diffin reports from the Valley Isle
SIMMER STYLE NEWSLETTER N.2 2007 By admin on 2/16/2007
Maui has been typical for January, February- some good sailing days, lots of great surfing days, and 4 days of the strongest Kona winds I've ever seen, plus it was pretty big surf. We had 4 days in a row of solid 30-35kts, and there were many, many gusts over 50. Even with the extreme wind, there were sessions to be had at Lanes, Kanaha and Kihei.

Teboul just returned from another trip somewhere in the Atlantic (he won't reveal where) where he was putting a new '08 5.0 prototype to the test, with great results. I saw the photos from the spot, and it is world class and unknown. Mast high- 5.0-4.7, side off, sunny, warm…. The photos will likely be popping up in publications around the world soon and people can see for themselves- the spot and the new sail in actio ...

Vincent Langer is back from Tenerife
SIMMER STYLE NEWSLETTER N.2 2007 By admin on 2/14/2007

While on the warm water subject Vincent Langer is back from Tenerife, defrosted and with a bag full of good slalom days and an occasional wave sailing day here and there. Next up is a roadtrip to Sardinia to break in the new racing and slalom sails, after test rigging them Vincent is convinced:

"– I'm sure that they will perform even better than last years models, I've never seen a sail with such nice and easy rotation."

So there you go, a word from the wise who probably spends more time on the water than on land. For more good hints drop by: http://www.vincentlanger.de

Rudy Castorina
SIMMER STYLE NEWSLETTER N.2 2007 By admin on 1/31/2007

Another one getting the best of Maui is Rudy Castorina who got served 5 days of Apocalyptic 50 knot Kona winds along with 8-10 foot waves that made way for some glassy surf at Ho'okipa and tow-in on the outer reefs once the wind finally dropped. As Rudy wrote to tell us this he got a call from the beach saying that the tradewinds where back and Ho'okipa was firing so he had to go. Ah well, until he's back, check out these recent surf shots of him. Photo: Jono Knight & MNeal.net

Kristoffer Living has spent the second week of January on Gran Canaria for some off season windsurfing and surfing:
"-The wind didn't really kick in, but we had some nice surfing on the north part of the island. I'm back in Sweden now, but I will be on standby this spring for when the forecast on Gran Canaria starts to look good."


Keith Teboul
SIMMER STYLE NEWS LETTER N.1 2007 By admin on 1/11/2007
As you read this Maui based Simmer Style rider Keith Teboul is scoring 4-8 foot epic down-the-line wave riding at a secret Caribbean spot on one of Jason Diffin´s latest 08 prototypes. Keep daydreaming....

Mr. Proffitt
SIMMER STYLE NEWS LETTER N.1 2007 By admin on 1/9/2007

Now for a quite chilly wake up call after that little Caribbean daydream that was on the house:

"Sorry fella missed your email! Getting about million emails about Viagra a day and your got lost in there! Cheers – Ben"

With a mail like that we figured we wouldn't have to much to write about Mr. Proffitt this month, but what do you know, he got back on track and dropped us a few lines saying he's currently in Cape Town, South Africa and that the wind's been a bit strange. With strange winds it's not so strange he's holding on with just one hand while back looping and making sure his other hand keeps fingers crossed for the wind to go back to normal.

Marko Simic

"Flykatcher"
SIMMER STYLE NEWS LETTER N.1 2007 By admin on 1/6/2007
Kai "Flykatcher" Katchadourian let's us in on some of his thoughts:

"-It was a December to remember as the crowds thinned out and the Simmer local crew have been holding it down, Natty G, Rudy C, Francisco P, Freddy S, Keith T, Jason D and the Flykatcher all getting their share...good times...wondering a lot of sessions "where is everybody" though, not that it matters really!!! A few select days on the Westside as well scoring some rare spots that fire on big west swells. It was truly an honor to get to sail in front of Hoyle Schweitzer's house last month, Matt spotted Cooper and I checking this spot near his house and brought us over to launch and sail the break up from his house, it was down the line head hi ...
