"At the top of his game" - Cafe' Culture Mag

This article appeared in the December o8 edition of Cafe' Culture, another one of the magazines put out by William Davenport. I was pretty stoked with the article being run in a high exposure non-windsurfing magazine and the additional readership that brings. For months afterward I was bumping into people I barely know - who would say "hey were you in a magazine or something recently? " or my favourite "Aren't you the best windsurfer in the world?". Not quite!

Here is the intro to the article written by William Davenport. If you want to read further and check out the photo's click on the pictures.

You may have been driving from Oriental Bay to Kilburnie, along the esplanade at Petone, enjoying the view at Eastbourne Beach or sipping coffee at Maranui Cafe' in Lyall Bay, when you have seen these guys on the water with there colourfull sails. What is obvious is these guys like the Wellington Winds. What is not so obvious is that we have a National Champ out there most days enjouying the conditions. James Court was crowned Windsurfings National Wavesailing champ earlier in the year and I caught up with him to not only find a bit more about the man, but also more about this visually stunning sport . . .
