Aberdovey Demo Weekend 18th-19th Oct 2008

The Boardwise Windsurf Demo weekend and clininc is scheduled for Oct 18th & 19th 2008.

Who's there...?
Fanatic / Mistral / North
Starboard / Tushingham
JP / Neilpryde
Severne
RRD / Ezzy
Simmer
Goya / Quattro
Thommen

Who's there...? part II - Pro Clinics...!!!
Andy Chambers / Colin Dixon are running their JP / Neilpryde Pro Clinics in conjunction with our demo weekend. All details of what their clinics comprise are in the flyer found using the link below:

http://www.boardwise.co.uk/news/08-jp-poster.jpg

What time does it start and finish...?
The demo boyz usually get to Aberdovey around 9am and WILL need an hour or so to rig up and get ready, so if you can be patient and give them till 10ish before you dive in to try the latest toyz - it would be really helpful. As the nights are drawing in the demo action will stop around 5ish, then once all the kit has been packed away it's off to the Aberdovey Inn for beer and food. On the Sunday depending on the wind conditions we usually pack up a bit earlier at 4pm.

See you there.

Al.

Sounds good Al.

I think I'll be venturing over for the weekend to Dyfi. I've not been windsurfing for over a year so it'll be good to give it a bash again.

Hope there will be more wind than last year. It was great weather, but not enough to launch a kite let alone a windsurfer..

So what do you reckon Al. Wind at the moment doesn't look too promising for Saturday but Sundays looking good.
Will you be sailing across for the demo then for a bit of novelty? It will be the eco friendly way to travel. A downwinder in a SW. Be interesting tacking back if the wind dies though.
I'm staying in Dyfi for the weekend.

Jonny.... If there's wind I'll be there and I might sail across if it looks as though I'll be able to get back... I'm sure someone would rescue me and give me a lift back around if I got stuck there.

Wind doesn't look great at the mo, but it does look as though there will be some wind so it hopefully won't be a complete wash-out.

Shem... I would imagine they'll have a few SUP's there.

Al.

I'd give you a lift back if you got stranded or we could hold you to ransome and spend a night on the ales in the dyfi inn. Not too sure Anna would be happy with that though Al

I need your advice as well Shem if your about, some of the valves on the 1 pump system are failing on my old Trix so wouldn't mind finding out the best resolution for fixing them. Maybe can the idea of the 1 pump system and seal the old holes on the struts and main bladder up individually. Sounds messy though. I'll bring it along for you to have a quick look. You still on the same no.?

Turned out good.... Steve and I sailed from Ynyslas on the seafront on Saturday along with Adrian from the Bristol Nomads then we headed across to Aberdyfi for a good day at the demo. Lots of people there, so good to catch up with some old faces, and lots of nice kit to play on as well.

A cracking weekend Al. Good to catch up as well.

We climbed part of Cader Idris, we climbed up the old pony path I think heading East as the path splits at the top of the falls and made our way a good 15 mins past that hut on top of one of the ridges.

Bad light restricted from us going any further and the rain began to set in so we called it a day. The wind was absolutely howling up there on the ridge. I'm not really into this hiking malarky, would much rather do it on a mountain bike but still it was enough fun. Wouldn't mind doing the full route sometime but you need a good 4 / 5 hours or so I reckon.
