"Extreme" new IMAX film extreme.jpg (6266 Byte)

Extreme will present some of the world's best extreme sport athletes facing challenges and testing their resources against nature in their quest to discover their own unique individual potential. Extreme will bring the radical worlds of surfing, windsurfing, skiing, snowboarding, base jumping, and rock and ice climbing to the giant IMAX® screen.

This gripping new film will transport audiences into the mind and talent of Kelly Slater, World Champion surfer, as he shares his skill and intuition on becoming one with the wave. Six time Windsurfing World Champion Robby Naish explains his fascination with windsurfing and waves, "The closer I get to these potentially deadly forces, the more alive I feel."


Baja Wave Classic

The Question is "Will a PWA Contest held at Baja be harmful to the environment ?" Although there is still a resistance against a PWA in Sant Carlos, the PWA convoy finally arrived.

The sailors who have come include Bjorn Dunkerbeck E-11, Jason
Polakow KA-111, Josh Stone USA-6, Chris Wyman USA-003, the local wild
card and Kevin Pritchard US-3.

Nik Baker K-66, Bjorn Dunkerbeck E-11 and Jason Polakow KA-111
arrived 4 days early to practice in over mast high waves, allowing the
sailors to enjoy over 25 bottom turns on each wave. The conditions are
excellent and the event promises to be epic.

Please check out the results as soon as the event is finished!
