WHAT’S GOING ON
SIMMER NEWSLETTER N.3 2005
March 15th 2005

Maui based Simmer team rider and Maui Fin Co president Pio Marasco is back
on the water after having shoulder surgery in Italy at the end of
February. So far so good.

Danish team rider Rob Sand left South Africa after having a fantastic
season with non stop wind and waves. He'll be going to Maui on March 21 st
for the Fanatic photo shoot. Despite the good conditions in South Africa
Rob's not sad about leaving his wetsuit and the cold waters behind him as
he heads to Maui in the next couple of days for the upcoming Fanatic photo
shoot.

Flykatcher Trading LLC, Simmer Style's new US distributor (run by long
time Simmer rider Kai Katchadourian) has been busy networking the mainland
and things are looking solid for dealers and local rippers alike that are
gathering in the quest for a greater Simmer presence there. "It is an
honor to be in this position " says Kai.

The Mouss brothers from Marseille has had a fantastic winter so far with
an average of 5 days a week with over 20 knot winds. A lot of good wave
sailing days and plenty of time to test equipment. They also recently took
a break to go skiing in the alps as well as attending some promotional
evens in "Les 2Alps". Cyril also managed to squeeze in a trip to Cape
Verde and scored 15 days of world-class wave sailing at the now legendary
Punta Preta. Go to: www.moussilmani.com and check the pictures from the
trip under: trips and then: Cap Vert. The Mouss brothers will be on Maui
between March 20th and April 13th for the Fanatic photo shoot and the
first 2005 PWA wave event of the year. Upon returning to France they will
go to Leucate for the first 2005 PWA Super X event between April 18th and
26th.

At the moment Ascanio D'Ascanio drops his mails from Jason Diffins house
on Maui where he'll be staying for a while. Even though American Airlines
lost his luggage he still managed to get the rest of the Simmer family to
hook him up with some gear so he could rip Kanaha Beach Park on some
recent Kona winds. He's got a back loop sequence coming up in the Surf A
Vela April issue as well as his Oregon Road Trip article in the May issue
so make sure to check them out.

Victor Fernandez recently returned to his home-breaks in Almeria, Spain
after a 3 week windsurf trip in Chile with Cheo Diaz and Brendan Pyat
(Photographer). After sailing 6 different really good spots in fantastic
conditions Pichilemu, a really long wave offering 8-10 bottomturns was
crowned as one of the best waves he's ever windsurfed and without a doubt
will return to again before long. An article about the trip will be sent
out to 8 international magazines so keep your eyes and ears open. In the
meantime you'll have to make do with some recent pictures of Victor
getting rid of some of all that energy that only mum's homemade food can
generate.

New UK rider Ben Proffitt sent some more pictures from South Africa so
check it out!

Before heading to France for some snowboarding and to promote his jewelery
brand Ruebelle, Rudy Castorina scored 2 weeks of incredible sailing on
Maui, with mast high waves and 4.5m2.

Rudy also made it into Planche Mag's February issue in an article called
"Maui Version Roots". German based Surfer Magazine also recently published
their 50th birthday celebration issue with a windsurf part
featuring....... yepp that's right Simmer team rider Rudy Castorina's
Indonesia travel story.
