The GMFCo Tiree Wave Classic

The full 26 minute programme will be on Sky Sports next month (more information on the exact date and time will be coming soon!) but in the meantime, watch this short video of the best bits of 2009 Tiree Wave Classic:

So the 2009 Tiree Wave Classic is now over for another year, sob!

It was definitely a memorable year with international TV (the 26 minute edit is due to go on Sky Sports in November, more details coming soon), a number of media contacts (ranging from Sun, Scotsman, Herald, Voyager Magazine, Daily Express, CNBC Magazine, BBC Alba, BBC Scotland and many more who all covered this year’s event), naked windsurfers (special thanks to Louise Emery, George Shillito and Chris Murray!), performances from glamorous X Factor girl group Accent and the longest day windsurfing in the Tiree Wave Classic’s 23 year history.

Unfortunately, the wind died down towards the end of the week and the luck of the Irish prevailed… well done to Timo Mullen who won the Tiree Wave Classic for the very first time.

In the ladies, Marie Buchanan took the prestigious title in her first wave competition.
