Windsurf Europe issue 5

Windsurf Europe Issue 5 is out in newsstands now throughout the continent. I'm on the staff as a retained 'Translator' and Copy editor where I tidy up the text from translated versions from writers of various mother tongues, and edit it into legible 'International English'.

Included in this issue, as the main feature in fact, is an article I wrote on the historic PWA wave event in Cabo Verde, where amazing waves graced the point break of Punta Preta and made one of the all-time contests in the sport of windsurfing's history.

I was asked to do this copy editing job for the magazine as they read my Press releases and event action summaries from the PWA website and mail outs. The editor liked the fact I could edit and capture the essence of an event, and speedily output clear concise copy for an international audience in my syndicated press write-ups.

The magazine comes with a free DVD in each issue (6 Issues a year) which includes PWA action, and loads of other exciting footage from the cream of windsurfing.

I'm glad windsurf Europe have been brave, just as Exocet and Kona Windsurfing have, and spent a little cash on polishing their English language presentation to their wider international audience.

In a small sport this shows considerable foresight over other brands who still publish awful literature using inaccurate language.

I believe this instils a sense of mistrust in their customers who grow to never believe a word they read - surely this renders a brochure, website or any form of marketing communication useless and a waste of time?
