Cinco De Mayo, Everyone and their brother, and Surfed Out Again!
~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pro Surf Ramblings Both the Men and Women WCT third contest are at Teahupoo (pronounced Cho-poo), Tahiti this week. The Men's trials took place this past week with the waiting period for both main events to take place when a bigger swell shows. "Forecasts suggest that swell could rise to around the six feet plus mark by Sunday and if so we’ll see the incredible natural phenomenon that is Teahupoo fire off its renowned ferocious barrels." -asp Check the webcast each day around Noon or One O'clock, Eastern Standard Time for any updates if the contest is on or not. Live webcast can be found at this link: Teahupoo Billabong Pro Contest Main Site Article for the Men's Trial contest: Trials

Pier Talk Once again I type this Viernes Fresco article while sore from surfing the previous days! We had Epic conditions on Wednesday with a nice sized swell with glassy conditions. I think most Florida surfers sat out the strong and gusty onshore winds and waited for the clean-up that found Wednesday to be the Day-of-the-Year! Pretty much every one and their brother was out surfing the flawless surf up and down the coast. We had a healthy wind fetch pointed towards Florida for 4 straight days and Wednesday finally saw the wind die and blow offshore. From Jacksonville down to Palm Beach County saw excellent surf! This is back-to-back swells we had the past two weeks. ...and they say Florida never gets good surf! Below are a few photos from Satellite Beach. Photos are by Bill Burbage. Quality isn't all that good, but they were taken in haste by a cheapo digi-cam. It's very hard to sit up on the beach and take photos when the surf is this good! Thanks to anyone who does it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We Are Water Happenings ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A couple new articles look to get pushed out next week. With the surf being pretty good and other personal obligations, not much went on with We Are Water. Like the surf, webmastering has up and downs as well!

Looks like we may get live coverage of it as well: ISA World Junior Surfing Champ Main Page Florida Today Newspaper has story of Brevard locals at this contest:Wiernicki and Christa Alves looking for gold in Brazil Viernes Fresco Out… Cinco de Mayo, 2006 David Reid
