Baker Windsurf Academy Tenby Pre-Event Slalom Clinic Friday 2nd April.

Ant Baker will be heading down with Nik Baker and Matt Pearch for the Tenby slalom event, and we've decided to head down early to beat the Bank Holiday traffic and run a pre-event warm up clinic to get everyone prepared and feeling relaxed for the fun event ahead....

The clinic will run from 12.30 onwards on the friday meeting at the Tenby South Car Park, Surflink centre, home of the Tenby Windsurfing Club.

Please email your place bookings to jim@puravidaboardriders.co.uk if you'd like to take part.

The clinic is aimed at all abilities to help you with sailing tips for the slalom event, cover the way it will run, get you going faster and totally put your mind at ease about taking part....and getting Syked up!

One of the most important things that Ant will cover is how to rig and tune your sails, and set up your kit to get it working best for you and performing as well as possible in the racing. Mast base positions and the most suitable fins can make a lot of difference. The rigging of your sail is essential - Ant will spend time checking each persons kit whatever you decide to use!

Gybing tips to help you safely round the mark, and sailing stance, footstrap positions etc. will all be covered, as well as any questions you might want answering.

If you have a gps device, bring it and watch your speeds improve and become more consistent.

We'll hit the water (wind permitting) and put it all into action till 5 ish...and if the weather allows us it'll be time for a bbq to round the day off, or hit the pub!

The cost of the clinic is only £30 per person.

So, hope to see you there and really looking forward to some fun racing and top tips to kick the season off!
