National Windsurf Fest 2011

Saturday, October 29th, 2011

Once again the NWF rocked up at Hayling Island with a mix of competition, clinics, showboating and of course the NWF party.

The van was loaded and off we set.  After initial favourable forecasts,  the weekend sadly didn’t quite live up to expectations so our kit never left the van.  Not that it was hardship as we caught up with friends over lunch and a few drinks at The Inn, bumped into several Bray Lake members and other familiar faces so who had time to get on the water!

Plenty of people were not as lazy as us though, so those that took to the water provided entertainment, plenty of photo opportunities and an interesting take on demonstating tricktionary moves with the help of a jet ski…

Despite not making it onto the water this time, all was not lost as got to meet the gorgeous Marcillo and despite his temporary relegation in my attention, Craig took a great picture for me.  Also picked up a few tips from the clinics for when I’m not feeling quite so fussy about the conditions.

Having struggled a bit at last year’s event it was great to see all bars open at The Inn on the Beach for the party, certainly helped things get going quickly and we had great night with a great set from The Heathrow Jets.

We’ll be sure to be in attendance again next year.
