Pro Supercross scheduled for Gott Bay

With blustery cross-on conditions the Judges have decided to go for a Pro round of Super cross at Gott Bay.

There’s a lunchtime briefing on the beach for the other classes.

Supercross for beginners

SUPERCOSS is the windsurfing equivalent of the Grand National. First past the finish post wins, it’s that simple. Sailors race over a course defined by marker buoys and featuring obstacles, (giant sausages… I jest not!) and compulsory maneuvers. Simple yet dangerous, as crashes are inevitable, so sailors are likely to be wearing protective helmets and body armor. Generally a good indication of danger level. Right, got that? Off to the beach then? What, it’s dark? Back to the bar then, Cheers!

Team 15 Success

Oct 15

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!
