Juice Boardsports Demo Day, July 2009 at Grimwith, Yorkshire Dales

These piccies are from Gumpy’s demo day at Grimwirth. It was a really cool day trying the kit. My favourite sail was the Ezzy Wave Panther and my favourite board was the Starboard Isonic. The best kit together was the Starboard Isonic and the Severn Gator. Jem Hall’s talk was useful with his blast and control and carving tips. Thanks Gump!

IWA Windsurfing Championships, August 2009 - Weymouth

I took part in the International Windsurfing World Championships held at the Weymouth and Portland Sailing Academy at the end of August. I entered the 6.8 Techno boys fleet, there were 68 computers from all over the world. We should have raced over 4 days and 1 rest day and doing up to 12 races. Unfortunately we had 2 days were it was too windy so it would have being dangerous to send us out on to the water to race so in the end we only 9 races in the end. When the event ended I finished 22nd.

North Lincs Invaders are North Zone Champions crowned at Covenham 12 July 2009

How cool is that, we are through to the Team 15 Championships again this year. I was really proud with my results in the 6.8 Techno Fleet as I came 1st. Well done to Emma, Robert, Luke & Joe who are all excellent competitors.

UKWA Inland Series held at Derwent on 04 & 05 July 2009 was not such a good event for me this time. I had a few OCS's and needed to go round the pin and shifty wind conditions... not good.
