Windsurfer Magazine Launched

A new windsurfing-dedicated magazine has just been announced. Appropriately named Windsurfer Magazine, it will be a ‘coffee-table’ bi-annual, proudly celebrating what they are claiming (and who are we to argue?) is the “Greatest Sport on Earth”. The editor is Tris Best, co-founder of The Official Test Centre (OTC), and tells us:

“More than just written by windsurfers for windsurfers, everyone involved in the venture is passionate about our beloved sport, from the editorial team to our designer, the web developer to the backers and marketing team. Even the print team like to get on their stick and go for a blast! This takes the concept of a passion project to the next level. All killer no filler, it will cover every aspect, from the creators and legends that have shaped the sport, to the athletes pushing the boundaries today and the explorers that continue to discover new frontiers. 

“The first edition of this collector’s piece will be released this autumn, and to celebrate we’re headline-sponsoring the British Wavesailing Association (BWA) event at West Wittering, hosted by 2XS. More news will be released in the coming months about the partners and collaborators in the project, building on the true sense of belonging and community that we all know the sport offers, both in the UK and around the world. As such, the magazine will be available globally, championing the renaissance that windsurfing is enjoying; a new generation of super-talented athletes emerging to inspire us. With renewed World Tour formats, a thriving wind-foiling Olympic class and speed records that continue to be challenged, windsurfing has never been more dynamic or accessible, and we look forward to reinforcing our statement that it’s the ‘greatest sport on earth’ in our pages.”
