Pistol River Wave Bash Day 1 Expression Session
Wednesday, June 7
photo credit: by Mark Harpur
"Immediately it was clear that some of the riders were more comfortable in Port Tack waves than others. Phil Soltysiak sailed off the beach and started putting on a freestyle clinic, showing how he earned the position of the 5th ranked Freestyle windsurfer in the world. Other stand outs included a strong showing by Tom Soltysiak, Jesse Cohen, Jen Carlisle and Ryan Alderman. All were hitting the lip in challenging onshore conditions and navigating the inside shore break with ease. Head judge Simeon had his hands full keeping an eye on all the action, and anticipation is building to find out who will be the 2017 IWT Pistol River expression session champion."

Pistol River Wave Bash Day 3 (Friday) Rain Squalls
"The Pistol River Wave Bash crew gathered at 8am for a skippers meeting looking to seize any opportunity we may find for wind. The forecast suggested there was a chance so everyone jumped in, set up tents, sound systems, drinks, chairs, flags, the lot. Sailors went out and tested the conditions. Phil, Tom, Boujmaa, Tony, Jess all got out and all got amongst it. But then the rain clouds moved across and the wind died just as [they] were preparing to start..."
"...Late in the afternoon the clouds finally parted and we were met with a little bit of wind. The unexpected wind allowed a few riders to get out and catch some waves. Boujmaa Guilloul and Morgan Noireaux stole the show, putting on a clinic in light wind wave sailing. After the short burst of wind, it was off to Brookings for a delicious dinner at Kuhn Thai restaurant. Live music and plenty of drinks flowing kept everyone entertained late into the evening..."
