With sailors coming from the far north, east and west coasts, the UKWA Worthing event started with a sunny first day and the potential for heats to be run in the afternoon. Sadly the sea breeze ended up fighting the days prevailing wind giving unreliable and light sailing conditions.
The freestyle was postponed until the Sunday, however the competitors had plenty to do with a few demo Turfdogs to hand. These land boards were in use all day, culminating in an impromptu Turfdog expression session, won by Adam Simms with Oscar Carmichael second. Special mention has to go to 14 year old Carmichael who managed a Turfdog spin loop early on in the session.
This years windsurfing event of the year is this weekend. Lots to offer the competitor this year, excellent tides for those who don't usually sail on the coast, so hope to encourage even more intermediate sailors to the NWF. Check out the event info and dedicated website.
