BWA Rhosneigr 2017

Sooo. The Pro fleet, back to that old chestnut. Last year I re-qualified to sail back in the pro fleet. After quite a few years of turning up to competitions and having a good old time in the amateur fleet and frequenting and sometimes winning the finals I finished 2016 promoted to the pro fleet. I was quite up for this at the time, however roll on 6 months and I have been wavesailing perhaps that many times. In fact in the last 6 months, the most time I have spent on a windsurf board was on my old raceboard on a mini two day expedition with Jono Dunnett. This was to help him prepare for his Round Europe (wow) expedition that he is just about to start. You can find more about that here: http://windsurfroundeurope.eu/ (notice he seems to be missing the UK out, not sure that is intentional). To cut a long story short, my winter training had not gone quite as planned. In fact I guess most of it was watching and reading about the other 'pro' windsurfers training in Cape Tow...

Stand Up Paddle Board and Flywave 85 for sale

Versatile 85 litre waveboard. This board comes with two sets of Quad fins. A set of K4's and the standard Simmer G10. This board has a large wind range and can be used from 5.3 to 4.0 weather comfortably. The best thing about this board is how well it turns, much like a smaller board but with the volume of an 85. As a quad you don't need to think about the board, just where you want to go on the wave and it responds to whatever you want. It is very good board for down the line conditions, but also good in cross on if the wind is solid. I use it as my main wave board in all conditions. There are a couple of nicks as you would expect from a waveboard, however the construction is strong and it will take whatever you throw at it. If you haven't yet got a quad you are missing out. It also can be set up as a tri fin or thruster, so plenty to experiment with. £650, collection only from Bournemouth area Starboard 8 5 pocket Rocket Stand Up Paddle Board This is a really...

Wight Windsurf Challenge - the search for kit

The most mega of all the cats Some lesser known facts about Island circumnavigation IOW point to point crows flies distance: 88km Menorca : 123km Mersea Island: 18.5km The plan is now very much set in stone. We will be profiling the three sailors in future posts and what equipment they have managed to get hold of. The reality really is that a long board will be best for the job. In a way, we want it to be, to recover a little bit of nostalgia. The other benefit is we don't need to worry about the wind, for us the right favourable tides will be the most important consideration. I particularly would like to reacquaint myself with a raceboard. It has been an unbelievable 20 years since I was RYA national champion and student national champion. Incredibly the last time I competitively sailed a raceboard was 18 years ago. Almost more time away from it then I was alive at the time. For this reason, my ideal board to do this particular rounding would be my board of choi...
