The big wave season is here again and we're back on the case. Wavejam will run on the next gnarly wind/wave forecast...

We're hoping to run four Wavejam's over the winter and crown an overall winter 09 WJ Champ!

We'd like to again invite anyone who thinks they're up to it to sign up to the email list, particularly the Pro/sponsored sailors who haven't yet been man enough to give it a go! We'll have plenty of coverage as usual and a video of all the action.

To get on the invite list, simply email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

We'll also be running a 'one off' South coast highest jump contest on the first suitable forecast, more details to follow..

Kit Brogan at Mexico's by Joe Cockle

Last weekend saw us heading to St Ives Bay in Cornwall for Wavejam 5. The official meeting point was the Bluff, but it looked too offshore. Gwithian was huge but dead cross-shore and a bit messy. So we headed to Mexico's where we were greeted with solid waves over mast high, breaking fully top to bottom onto a shallow sand bar. Thankfully the wind was blowing strong enough to power us out through the gnarly stuff and get some sick rides back in.

Standouts for the Day were Andy King, Steve Thorp, Kit Brogan, Rich Potter (British wave champion), Jan Sleigh, Nick Moffatt and Dan Linton all picking off some huge set waves, with Andy being voted top rider for the day for his huge airs and Goiters. The sailors judged each other and the scores were extremely close at the top.

The only downer was the amount of spray in the air (due to the howling off-shore wind) preventing us getting any shots of the mackers on the outside (and the inner mast high waves obscuring the view too!). This shot of Kit is the last section of the wave which was closing out at logo high!

Definitely one of the heaviest days I've sailed in the UK. We all went home feeling pretty battered and stoked, and very excited about the prospect of 27ft waves for the next day! Unfortunately the wind and waves failed to show for day 2.

Full report and the best pictures will be in the Windsurf mags soon.

Last Friday was a rare day - Cornwall's premier reef break came to life and was graced with a cross off wind and 8 of Britains keenest sailors. The biggest set waves were mast and a half high and breaking with full force 'top to bottom'. Getting out was a nightmare, with zero wind and a strong rip on the inside dragging you into the reef. Those that made it out though were rewarded with some very sick rides!

Chris Murray has just scored himself and Wavejam some great coverage in 'SPORT MAGAZINE'. Nice one Muzza, top stuff.
