   Thought I will post the sponsorchanges for 2010, who already got announced:

   Steve Allen will ride on Severne Sails in 2010 and work on the Code Reds.

   Dario Ojeda changed to F2 boards. Multiple German champion Bernd Flessner left F2 after many years and will start on JP boards in 2010. Markus Pöltenstein, current Masters Slalom worldchampion, left Fanatic and will ride on JP boards as well in 2010.

   Karin Jaggi and Patrick Diethelm will ride on their own boardbrand. The contract with F2 did come to an end.

   Let´s see. if any big chances will be announced soon.

   Some more news are up: Steve Allen will also ride on Starboards in 2010. Peter Volwater left F2 after 15 years of collaboration and changed to Fanatic. He seems to be in favour of the new boards.

   Some news from the ladies front: Evi Tsape from Greece, who is an incredible good jumper, switched from Fanatic and Neil Pryde to F2 and North Sails. North Sails seems to be very popular in Greece! Evi, who finished the 2009 Wave PWA tour in excellent 5th position, gets support by F2 International and funsports.gr .
   And news from France: Pascal Toselli will sail on Point 7 in the upcoming season.

   So far not many big changes, except Peter Volwater, Dario Ojeda and Steve Allen happened. Let´s see, if there will happen anything before Christmas!

   We are getting closer to the end of the 2009 year and much more changes happen:
   The most spectacular one is for sure the change of Ben van der Steen (Ned-57) from Exocet/Simmersails to JP/Neilpryde. Severnsails anounced a day ago that Jesper Vesterström has joined the team and will attack in the Formula class on the new Severne Reflex Formula Sails. Together with Steve Allen in the team they both will attack the podium for sure.
   Kurosh Kiani, one of the Danish top Slalom and Formula sailors, will ride on the Angulo boards in 2010."I have signed with Angulo and will be working together with Josh for the PWA in 2010", Kurosh stated. So let´s see what else will happen in the last 2 weeks of 2009!

   Another hot sponsor change: top German waverider Klaas Voget, who had his best season of his career, announced on his website that he will be on Simmersails in 2010. So another big name left Neil Pryde. Neil Pryde has predominantly teamriders with Jp as the boardsponsor.

   Sarah-Quita Offringa also left Neilpryde. But not sure what sailsponsor she will have soon.
   French racer Nicolas Warembourg will be on JP/Neilpryde in the 2010 season.
   Let´s see, if there will be anymore big chances.

    The next hot news. Jonas Ceballos will not be on Fanatic in the upcoming season. That´s a surprise! He is for sure one of the most radical sailors in this sideonshore conditions like Pozo, Sylt or Klitmöller. He can ride not good waves super radical!

    And there seems to be no end in the transfers: For sure one of the most spectacular is the actual one of the Moreno Twins. Both, Daida and Iballa, left Northsails and will ride for Severne now. Severne has a very strong ladies team now!

    Slovenian top freestyler Andraz Zan left Loft sails and will be fully equipped with RRD. He will use RRD sails as well.

    French top slalom racer Pierre Mortefon changed from JP/Neilpryde to Fanatic/North Sails. He is definitely one of best of all the young Slalom racers on the PWA tour.
