Welcome to our new site PritchardWindsurfing.com!! My brother and I have been working on making something from the both of us to kinda tie the blog and some other cool stuff into one! We are both going to be active and making this a sweet site to hang out, ask questions and live the dream.  I will be continuing my blog and Matt will be adding interesting How To's and moves as well as some EQ tech stuff. Since we are now both on the Gaastra program we figured now is the time to do it. So hear it is... Log in and send us a comment and enjoy the site. We are just starting off so bear with us for now- we will be getting some cool stuff up and running very soon.

So I am kinda disappointed a bit that ever since I moved from blogger to this page, that the comments have went way down.. I am not sure if I am just writing about boring stuff or what the deal is.. I have checked the traffic to the site and it is right about the same, maybe even a bit more so not really sure.. I guess it is just my boring old stuff.. Need to talk about more tech stuff like twin fins vrs single fins.. pretty much covered that... hmm well i will have to come up with something good to get your guys comments.. Anyhow, still working on the site, just put up the gallery section that you might have noticed and still working on some new video content and being out on the water as much as possible. Hope you are enjoying the site!!

Almost every day I check your site and I find it really cool that you update it so often. Your photos are absolutely amazing and the whole flora [from what I see on your site] is beautiful on Maui. I just hope that some day I come there and have a chance to surf on Hookipa:). 
I think it would be even better if you put some archive shots - I don't know whether it's OK with your sponsors, but for example shots of you sailing 10 or more years ago. I assume this would be very motivating for most of the non-pro viewers since we'd be able to see the whole beginner-to-winner process:D. That's only an idea - I hope there will be someone who would respond to it;). 
Greetings from cold and lately completely windless Poland !

Kevin! 
 
I check your blog regularly, but what really interest me is windsurfing. Technique, are you learning new stuff in the waves and how, twins, Gaastra sails, rigging and tuning you sails, boards etc.  
 
Your photos are nice to watch, but I must admit its the windsurf guy Kevin who drags me to this blog.

Kev, 
I check the blog regularly, but seldom comment unless I feel I have something important to say (or ask). I like the new site, and appreciate your attempts to keep it fresh. The travel reports and behind the scenes look at world cup events is always interesting, and the gear testing coverage is pretty cool. How about some coverage of what goes into testing/refining sails?  
Aloha, 
Pete

I also think that comments about the new stuff, the moves new moves and the stuff you train would be interesting 
Best regards

the black style makes watching and reading a bit tiring but it\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s not the worst thing.I agree with some comment above,I daily check your site but would appreciate lot more than lifestyle pics some tech stuff.You live a sort of life that many of us just can only dream of.Your in contact with all the stuff you want,test protos and so on. 
Slalom's growing hardly nowdays so why don't you talk more about new Vapor\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s,t heir best trimm,different mast settings.  
Same thing about isonics and fin match.But what really help would be explain the reason you go for some combo and not some other.

HI Kevin. 
 
I check it every time you've got new postings. From my pov there has been a little too much much focus on photography every now and then, not that it's not interesting, but windsurfing is where my soul is. 
 
I'd personllay like to see focus on slalom, tech tips, fin designs, sail tuning etc etc, all related to slalom racing. 
 
Keep up the good work , it's appreciated.

I really like this blog, but I'm generally content to just read it. Nice to get a window on a magical place like Hawaii. Here in New Zealand we are heading into winter and its starting to get pretty cold. 
 
I would be keen to see some stuff on jumping. How to do shove its. Mine are coming along but I have managed to do some damage on the way. Also technique for the big stalled out forward loops the pros are doing. Forwards are my favourite move but some of the stuff I see on youtube etc is mind blowing. 
 
No complaints from me, keep blogging.

Hi Kevin 
your rss feed is on top of all my other windsurfing related feeds 
so here are my thoughts on your new place 
pros: 
-improved webdesign 
- g2 gallery is state of the art, hope you will post more action shots 
cons: 
- a lack of windsurfing related posts in the past days, more lifestyle , photo related posts 
- blog archive is missing as well as all your posts from the past 
- a detailed profile from both of you is missing 
-white font on black background...I get a headache each time reading posts, am I the only one? 
-it\\\'s the pritchards place...where\\\'s matt\\\'s blog ? 
some ideas/whishes: 
-a rating system for posts as an indicator of what people like 
-let\\\'s start an online survery to find out what topcis people are missing ? 
-more equipment, local maui scene, pwa contest related posts 
- share your travel plans with us, where will you be next ?

Hey Kev, great site. Would be great to see more action windsurfing photos though. I know this is a problem though, cause when the conditions are the best you\\\'ll be out sailing and not taking photos. Would be great to read some more technical articles about kit and stuff. Your site is really great though. Keep up the good work!

I read your blog most days from over in sunny Western Australia.  
 
The part I like most is the low down on what is happenning on maui, the insights to you and other riders. Its good when you comment on other riders as well. Like when you was having run ins with Josh. Or if you meet Pozza or Swifty down the beach. Levi in mana foods. Comment on what they have been up to or moves they were trying. That sort of stuff.

You and Camar are our window into Maui (outside of the general media). What we want is to feel like we\\\'re there at the beach with you guys. Whats the goss.. new stuff. ( like Nathan says) 
 
I don\\\'t know about everyone else but, I loved your stuff when you were playing with camera mounts etc. Could you do the same with other gear.. reviews?
14"Living the Dream"
at Tuesday, 15 April 2008 17:33by BBC
KP - You have a great site, but we\\\'re missing the inside scoop. You\\\'re living the dream, so let us in on it.  
1) Signature KP shots (mast mounts) letting us feel the intensity of top notch moves or the elation of sailing exotic destinations. 
2) What\\\'s up on the tour? What\\\'s it like on the inner huddle of the Maui/PWA scene. How\\\'s your neighbor PC? Spotted any new talent? Details on Robby\\\'s party and the like. We want the inside stuff.  
3) What it\\\'s like going for a world title every year. The dedication, blood, sweat and tears of it all. The fire that burns in your belly to win every contest.  
- That\\\'s KP to me and that\\\'s what everyone wants to hear... I think. 
No worries, you\\\'ll get re-energized soon and blow us away.

Hi Kevin,  
your site is great and I read it often. Your photos are amazing. Your photos keep me fired up and wanting to get back to Maui as soon as possible. Keep on blogging...equipment, the tour, the maui scene, whatever you want. 
hope to see you soon, 
Ben

pretty much the above... beautiful photo's and stuff but a bit more windsurfing would be great :) 
 
(and perhaps being able to comment on the movies, for example to be able to complement or ask extra stuff about his duckjibe etc... :))
17"more blogging + pictures"
at Tuesday, 15 April 2008 21:24by mnclds
Hi Kev! I'm sure you know the feeling...going windsurfing with friends, spend the whole day together, but barely speak at all... just being on the wather with the guys enjoying the same excitement as you are.  
 
Must be the same with your blog...checking everyday, no urge to comment. 
Keep on blogging! 
 
P.S. more pictures would be great

23"window to maui"
at Thursday, 17 April 2008 02:53by jeffEoftheGreatWhitenortn
me , on the site once sometimes twice a day, camars too. The window to maui, i think some pro tips would be good ie: how you tune your kit for speed, sizes of fins, what makes a good race sail, tigh verus floppy leaches etc etc, but then again your forum on starboard addressesmany of those tech topics. all in all good site. you bro does some good conditioning and moves videos and it compliments your additions.
