Windfest is still the amazing event that it has always been,
I unfortunately didn’t get to go last year as I was working in Dahab, but I was
able to attend this year.
The event still lives up too it name, not only was there
loads of windsurfers there but the Animal bike team, beach volley ball, extreme
Frisbee and kitesurfers competing.
On the windsurfing side of things there was something like
30 entrants in all categories, which was split over juniors, youths, ladies,
amateurs and pros. This year they saw a massive turn out from the ladies with 7
entrants who competed there way through 6 rounds.
As for myself I took part in the amateurs for the weekend
which saw some amazing conditions, we were all out on around 5.0’s for the Saturday
and then around the 4.5’s for the Sunday. I came 5th in the Amateurs
for the weekend which gave me a ranking of 9th in the UK.
A huge thank you must go to Trevor Funnel and the rest of
the team which help to organise it all, plus being there to judge the event.
