Maui Windsurfers Win, California Wave Pool Opens, Boogie Board Memories
First up’s the windsurfing scene: Maui’s own Bernd Roediger and Morgan Noireaux crushed it at the Fiji Surf Pro, taking first and third places on the legendary Cloudbreak reef. Roediger even competed with a strained ACL and still managed a final score of 18.07 – talk about dedication. You can read the full breakdown over at Maui News.
Next, California just got a fresh playground for wave‑hungry surfers. Wavegarden celebrated the opening of DSRT Surf in the Coachella Valley, marking its second U.S. wave pool. The facility promises up to 1,000 waves per hour and a catalogue of more than 60 world‑class wave types, including a dedicated “Twister” barrel setting. Curious about the tech?

Finally, a nostalgic trip down memory lane from Orange County: readers shared their first experiences on boogie boards and surf mats, recalling the days before foam took over. From heavy canvas mats to the invention of the boogie board by Tom Morey, it’s a reminder that every surfer started somewhere. Want to take a peek at those memories? See the story here.
