JC Pictures

Thanks to Terry Luxton for the pictures of ‘JC and the one man band’ (aka John Carter) on stage.
To all of you who saw the performance, just think you will be able to tell your grand-kids you were there!

Haste ye back

Today may be the end of the 2005 Tiree Wave Classic, but we aren’t putting the TWC web site to bed just yet. Check us out over the next few weeks and months and we’ll bring you more from this years competition, events and other things windsurfing and Tiree related.

Last Night Party

Last night saw the closing party for the 2005 Tiree Wave Classic.
The evening kicked off with Julian Da Vall presenting the individual discipline and overall prizes in each category (with over 70 podium places that’s quite a lot of prizes to give out), before finally presenting the outright winner John Skye with the 2005 Tiree […]

Wave Classic closing party

Tonight sees the Wave Classic closing party at Tiree’s community centre An Talla.
There will be a formal presentation of competition prizes (well probably not that formal) followed by Tiree’s very own up and coming rock band The Defenders playing classic tunes from across the decades and finishing off the night in traditional Tiree style there […]

Tiree Wave Classic Crew

You can’t hold a windsurfing competition as great as the Tiree Wave Classic without the best sailors, but also you can’t do it without the people behind the scenes either.
The Gul boys and girls of the 2005 Tiree Wave Classic crew deserve special thanks for the hard work they’ve put in to make the competition […]

Youth and Junior SuperX report from Boardseeker

With the SuperX course set out along the length of Gott Bay, facing the event HQ, the Youths and Juniors were gagging for an opportunity to get out there. Spectacular, if controversial, action from the Pros in the morning heightened the tension and by the time Duncan Coombs had briefed them on the course they […]

Boardseeker Beach Report – Day 6

Speed, Bruises, Cuts, Injuries and a Jumping Competition
Cruising past Gott Bay this morning the wind was marginal. 11.00am it kicked in windy with driving rain and flat. Out of all the disciplines, they went for Super X, this time with a full on downwind course, three duck gybes, three sausages, 2 forward loops and a […]

Supercross at Gott and Jumps at Crossapol

After a quiet Wednesday, Thursday was an intense day of competition.
The conditions were fairly light in the morning so another Supercross round was completed at Gott Bay. During the second Supercross round of the day, the conditions picked up on the South side of the Island, so the sailors were keen to get over to […]

Wave Classic CalMac Day Tour

Over 100 people came over to Tiree for the day to get six hours of competition, culture and general Wave Classic experience. Buses transported people around the island to visit craft shops, art galleries and the competition itself. Not bad for a tenner all in.
Everyone was tired, but happy by the end of the day […]

Team 15 Success

The Tiree Team 15 Junior Racing Event was a great success at Loch Bhasapol on Wednesday 14th.

17 rounds of racing were completed with the junior racers prior to finally announcing the winners of the event.

A big thank you to everyone who came along on the day and contributed in some shape or form. Additionally a special thanks to George Shillito and Chris Murray from Tushingham/Starboard who were kind enough to come along with demo equipment from their sponsors. The boys also got in the water and completed the final race of the day with the kids prior to teaching the children how to perform some pretty sporty freestyle moves!

Overall the day turned out to be a great success, even with the light winds that we had over the course of the day. This is an event which we hope to grow for next year to involve more young windsurfers in racing and give them the opportunity to interact with the top stars in the sport. Watch this space for 2010!
