T15 Competition Wednesday Loch Bhasapol

‘Tiree Extremes’ – Tiree’s own T15 group are hosting a windsurfing competition tomorrow (Wednesday) at Loch Bhasapol. There will be a number of classes from 3.5m to 6.8m and the competition is open all windsurfers aged 15yrs and under. Registration is 10:00 – 12:00 with racing from 12:00 – 16:00.

T15 is an RYA youth initiative to encourage kids aged 15 and under to take up windsurfing. Tiree Windsurfing Club was able to launch its T15 section following an award of SPORTSMATCH funding to match sponsorship of £4,150 from local windsurfing school Wild Diamond Windsurfing.

The T15 event is an exciting development for Windsurfing on Tiree and for the Tiree Wave Classic. Come along to Loch Bhasapol Tomorrow and you may see the next Ben Proffitt or Louise Emery in action.

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!
