So a trip along the M62 to Liverpool saw the ExPix van outside Rampworx for the Chaz Sands Invitational inline skate competition.

We can now bring you the updated video from the BUCS Windsurf Nationals held at Calshot.

BUCS Windsurfing Championships

held in Calshot was yet another testimony to the way student events are growing.

With approximately 300 competitors registered to compete even with up coming exams the Student Windsurfing tour is one of the best followed events we have seen.The SWA always provide plenty of sporting action alongside lifestyle alternatives for people to participate in. This was no exception.We have to say a massive thanks to Calshot Activities Centre, Southampton University, SWA as well as Club Vass, Tushingham Sails, Goya, Gaastra, Boardwise, Spartan Wetsuits, Kai Sports, Solent Sailboards, Beachbum Beanbags, Plasma Clothing as well as boards magazine and windsurf mag for supporting the event.

Not much has been happening over the last few days, the wind just hasnt materialised however the crowds have been out in force as the sun shines down on the event site. Yesterday saw a SUP race for the kitesurfers before the presentation.

So ExPix  have arrived in Calshot for the 2010 Student Kitesurfing Nationals - the first ever national student kitesurfing competition.

Hosted by Southampton University Kitesurf Club, and sponsored by King Of Watersports, Kamikaze, Flexifoil, Hooked On, Naish, Prolimit, Aquapac & Beach Break Live, the event is aimed at the cream of university kitesurfers. The format is pure freestyle with the emphasis on FREE; old school tricks are as welcome as super, kite low, s-bends!

The Animal Poole Windfest this last weekend saw ExPix making the long trip down to the South Coast to cover the event. With all the usual demo's, Animal pro riders and the legendary party, this is one event on the calendar we'd  hate to miss. So with Wakeboarding, Wakeskating, Windsurfing, Bike Demo's, Thundercats, Stand Up Paddle Boarding, Skateboarding, VW's, stall and loads of other stuff we had plenty to do !

Well we're back at the British Kitesurfing Championships being held in Blackpool for round 5. We havent been to all the events this year due to such a heavy work load but it was great to receive such a warm welcome after a short absence. With one or two new faces on the scene and a few 'older' ones moving on to pastures new the first day may ahve thrown one or two surprises in to the melting pot for the pro's.

Ten years on and Wakestock is still going strong. Starting with a few riders and a sound system in a car on a beach after a great session Wakestock now see's a capacity crowd of 15000 per night watch the live music after a days Wakeboarding. Not just at Pwhelli Marina or on Abersoch main beach but also on site in the form of the pool gap.

ExPix have been taking wakeboarding pictures at Wakestock since it started; so this year we were proud to cover the action once again. Check out this years report to see some of the action images from the event.

Shefield Cable and Waterski hosted the second round of their Ten Feet high Series. We were there to catch the action of the biggest Cable competition in the UK .....probably !

The KBO is one of the biggest kite events in Europe if not the biggest and ExPix were invited along to help increase the coverage and to document the event the way only ExPix does.

Having heard all the stories about how good and large this event was didn't prepare us for exactly how many people the Kiteboard Open caters for or has potential to reach. The beach was rammed and I can only equate the size to Boardmasters (Newquay Surf Comp)  who claim to have  around 100 000 visitors on the beach................. it was amazing. So with good support from the industry there were stalls, activities and parties. We definitely want to go back to this one next year.

After bringing the system 2 from FISE for the Think Tank we thought we should go down to take a few pics of the cable in action. Qualifying was on Thursday but after the previous weekend and a round trip of 2000 miles in 5 days we decided to have an extra day in the office and arrived on Friday just after dinner. The action was already in full swing with the jetski ploughing up and down the lake at Ten80 pulling the riders onto the custom built obstacles.

We dragged the cameras out of the van and set to work shooting the action.
