Heard the rumour that Kauli is moving to JP/ Neil Pryde for 2009 season.

Can anyone confirm?

apparently JP are releasing a twin fin next year and bringing Kauli into the fold will help endorse the product.

Kauli must have been taking note from Jerry Maguire "SHOOOOWWWW MEEEEE THEEEE MOOONNNEEEEYYY"

I'm sure it would still be a Quatro with JP paint work.
Valid point anyway.
And I'm sure his wallet had some say in it too. I'd ride a pink ironing board with "I'm a d1ck" written all over it if the price was right.

will he be using np sails too? wow, neil pryde will then have everyone who's anyone sailing for them, whether its np/jp boards or np sails. where does that leave the other manufacturers

Np must be general motors in disguise

Hey Qwerts
We're just putting the finishing touches on the ironing board at the moment
How much is it going to take for you to ride it for a year

Hey Donk
How's it all going ?
You been getting any sailing in ?

Just got back from a bit of an epic adventure across 4 states.
Gnaraloo was definitely the highlight !

Yeah I did Donk but I broke it while ironing my matching rashies
Kev I would require Windwarrior undies, scarves and mittens as part of the package. I'm assuming they are now part of the 2008 line?

yer Pryde are definately throwing the cash at people these days. but just because the pay pro's to use there gear don't mean it's good... i know they pay there factory workers about $30 a week, so there is plenty of cash left to through around. just hope Kauli still rips as hard as he does now on the gear.. definately love watching him wave ride..

Yeah kev all is good at the moment.A sail here and there.You seem to enjoy it more.
Just checking out nobbys at the moment. some swell about but i think the storm coming will kill the wind.
qwerty long time no see.Hows the fam travelling?. I was goin to the nats this week until the missus told me her bros wedding was on Sunday past.
Not lookin good for wind at the moment. But you know that can change very quickly down there.

Hmmm, there's a couple of oven mits kicking about... if we whacked a couple of decals on them would that fit the bill as mittens ?
As for undies, I'm sure we could dig up and old pair of budgie smugglers (have to knock the gold dust out of them first)
Are you goiung to go down to Gerroa for the comp on the 2nd/3rd ?
Maybe we could kit you out then ?
Keen for a catch up sail at some stage... been years since our last outing at Butterbox !

Hey Donk, looks like ther could be some wind here today (fingers crossed)
Sailed both Saturday and Sunday... not much swell but super clean and powered up on the 5.4
Let me know if you are keen to venture up for a sail at some stage

Hey Donk. All good. Just waiting for this southerly to come up the coast. Due to hit here right when I leave work this arvo. It's hit Ulladulla already.

Might see you at Gerroa in 2 weeks if you're coming down. Will head down for a sail if conditions look good. Otherwise will sail around here.

reality check dude... how much do you think the guys at the cobra factory in Thailand make? Or how about the Chinese making Gaastras... did you really think all Severne sails were actually made by Ben Severne in Australia? They all make a truck load of cash... some more some less and if they don't then it wouldn't be called a business but a charity.

rumor has it all the top PWA sailors with twin fins get their boards shaped by Keith Teboul with brand specific paint job and decals... and yes this includes JP. But then again it's been like this almost since day 1 of competitive windsurfing.

you are talking about boards right?

angulo talks about them on mauisails forum and pritchard talks about them here kevinpritchardwindsurfing.blogspot.com/2008/02/some-great-windsurfing-dayz.html
I would like one but it would be a waste of time where I live as we sail cross-on a bit.
