One of our goals with WindSurfing this year is to make the magazine about windsurfERS as much as it's about windsurfING. Here's a couple examples:

Any story about Naish is always the first thing i read. I would prefer stories of the "famous" more than the other stuff.

I enjoyed these stories. Some better than others. I'm with Clyde, the Naish one is at the top of the list.

Robby is a good one, but he's been done 1000 times by everyone. I enjoyed the Ian Boyd article much more. Do more like that about real superstars who have not previously received focused

Hate to sound un-American, but Bjorn Dunkerbeck won 13 World Championships in a row!! This is an achievement unparralleled (I think) in sports the world over. In Europe he's a God, here he's that other guy. There's never been a better windsurfer, let's see an article on a real champion.

Yes Bjorn is a bit more relaxed nowadays and is I know, more approachable.


At Weymouth Speedweek "Chilli Night", unplanned he joined in with Peter Hart and Dave White, to answer questions on some of the finer points of speedsailing.

I asked a couple of "stupid" drunken questions, for which he had some very good off the cuff put downs, which got the room filled with laughter.

:lol:
