The National Windsurf Festival was incredible as it is every
year. The amount of people that go to this event is becoming impressive, it was
so much bigger than the previous years I have been. The master blasts were as
successful as ever and seeing 300plus people all trying to leave the beach at
one time is a must see. The Saturday night entertainment by the Heathrow Jets
was amazing, played some really good songs and they got the crowd going.
For myself on the Saturday I didn’t go out on the water but
it was awesome to see people that I haven’t seen for such a long time. My
reason for not going out on the water was that I was being a wimp as I had only
just come back from Dahab 2 days before and was feeling the cold.
The Sunday at the National Windsurf Festival saw the masses
out on the water again but the rain had also arrived, with this I decided that I
wasn’t really up for spending the day in the rain so left around 11, having
heard that when I got home I should have stayed as it cleared up and the wind
kicked in making some nice conditions for the Freestyle boys to go out in.
A huge thank you to Allan Cross and his team who put so much
into the event to get it running and make the iconic event of the year which it
has now become., I am looking forward to next year’s already which is going to
be on the 8-9th of September.
