even though I'm still not fully up and running (appt. w/computer guru today) I managed to get on the internet and this was sitting in my 'in box' this morning from oxbow rep, thierry daupin (thanks for my clothing):
OCTOBER 5, 2011 - HONOLULU, HI -- Oxbow rider Jason Polakow crisscrossed the South Pacific catching record sized swells all the way from Tahiti to Fiji and in the process captured some incredible video. The summer session of 2011 was nothing short of epic with the largest waves seen in over 30 years. Jason puts on a dazzling video showcase of his wave riding versatility towing-in in Tahiti, and a near perfect winds-surfing conditions at Cloudbreak captures a session for the record books."There were a lot of pro big wave surfers in the line-up. Everyone was there from Kelly Slater to Bruce Irons. I rigged my equipment in the boat watching all the boys pull into big tubes. The boat started to take me up into the line-up and a huge close out set washed everyone in. I threw my rig into the line-up and basically had it all to myself for 2 hours. A lot of boys hung around to watch a windsurfer rip big Cloudbreak which was good for our sport. Everyone was shouting and yelling words of praise after each ride," said Jason about his memorable session at Cloudbreak.
Founded in France in 1985, Oxbow was born from the meeting of boardsports aficionado Fabrice Valéri and fashion stylist Isabelle Cachot. The brand was developed alongside the greatest athletes, like Laird Hamilton, pioneer of tow-in surfing, kitesurf, foilsurfing or more recently stand-up paddle surfing. For 25 years, Oxbow has never stopped exploring new territories and following riders on their craziest projects. Thanks to their close contact with these athletes, who cover all disciplines (surf, snow, kite, freestyle skiing or windsurfing), from the very beginning Oxbow has created products that combine quality, technicality and creativity. Giving riders the chance to live their passion for boardsports, without restraints and respecting their playground, Nature.This is Oxbow's raison d'être. Because nature will always be stronger than humanity.
