Here you have Russ Farout skying one during Sunday’s expression session.  The dude is one of the true heros of the 2011 Pistol River Wave Bash.  He’s been working his ass off to help make the AWT a serious contender on the international windsurfing scene.  In fact, I have to think they should just go ahead and change the name to the IWT right now to avoid the hassle later of doing new logos and all the other stuff that goes along with the event tour’s image.  That way they can start developing the new name recognition now and not have to worry about ever changing the name again.  Remember what Clay Feeter went through with the windsurfing magazines going from Bay area to California to West coast to Wind Tracks to Wind Tracks Journal.  Go big right off I say.  (Hence “Boardhead International”.)
