Flow Windsurfing Supports the Flymount!

LADIES - GET WITH THE FLOW

FLOW - For Ladies Of Windsurfing (www.flowindsurfing.com) - is an online information resource designed specifically for female windsurfers.

Founded by Amy Carter, the website is brimming full of stories, experiences, tips and pointers all relevant to the fairer sex within the sport. It sets a clear aim to not only encourage more females into windsurfing, but also to provide a much needed support system and a sense of community for those already enjoying the sport. Discussing the objectives of the FLOW concept, it is hard not to feel the amount of passion Amy (a distinguished racer herself) has put into the project:

"Windsurfing has always been the sport I've loved! After years involved in the sport I have become increasingly frustrated with the perception that you must be tough and strong to windsurf. I felt that something needed to be done to breakdown this misconception.

By providing information for women, by women, FLOW aims to create a fun, friendly 'club atmosphere' so that we can help each other learn, develop, enjoy and achieve together in the sport."

Whilst much of the location information is focussed around Amy's native UK at the moment, many of the articles and tips are relevant to women wherever they are. So whether you're looking to crack that next manoeuvre, don't know which kit to buy, have an article, photo or tip you want to share ... or have a female friend you want to get into the sport (boys!), visit www.flowindsurfing.com and get involved.

Remember to join our Mailing List to get all updates and information on pre-ordering your Flymount to avoid disappointment. Thanks again for your patience and unwavering enthusiasm.

Notes on the Pentax W80 and the Olympus 8000 Tough

Battery Life

WINNER - The Olympus 8000 Tough

Video

WINNER - Pentax W80 - 32 minutes

Olympus Tough - 17 minutes video at 30 frames per second

High Definition

The Pentax W80 can shoot High Definition at 30 frames per second, but is limited to 11 minutes per movie at this quality.

The Pentax W80 High Definition movie mode captures footage at a frame size of 1280 x 720 giving a more rectangular frame than the standard 640 x 480 30 frames per second mode. This results in a slightly cropped image - worth bearing in mind if you want to have a wide angle view to your movies.
