The Kayak Surf World Championships just wrapped up in Mundaka/ Baiko, Spain. It sounds like it was a successful event. I received an email from Jameson Riser yesterday about the long boat (IC) finals. It sounds like all the women surfed well and Jameson is coming back to the Pacific Northwest with the Silver Medal. I’m super-pleased for her. I’ve been in contact with Jameson for about 2 years about kayak surfing and surf competitions and have had the pleasure of surfing with her a handful of times; her teaching skills are awesome and she is actively encouraging and informative. I’m looking forward to catching her in the surf soon! WELL DONE to my local hero- you soooooooo deserve this! The pictures I have seen show some heavy, fast breaks. http://kayaksurfchampionship.blogspot.com/ 

Devon Barker posted a video of her rides in women’s short boat (HP) final on the JK website-all i can say is GNARLY, lady, and way to hang in there. That was some serious beach break.
