To round off the end of the summer (what summer??) and kick off the winter waves, and welcome this years student windsurfers onto the
scene we have a fantastic weekend planned over the 27th and 28th of September for windsurfers from those wanting to try it for the

Kicking off at 10.00am (ie. rigged and ready) we will be running 'Try Windsurf' and beginners lessons from some of our most experienced
sailors with kit povided in the shallows of the lake. If you know anyone who's interested please be sure to invite them.
For anyone who can sail in any shape or form there will be fun racing around two buoys which could get exciting if the wind is up,
various heats leading to a grand final in a nockout style.
Also planned is a freestyle contest no matter what the wind brings!
All day we will be using several GPS devices, bring one if you have one, to attempt to break the Lake Record and run a speed
competition to find the fastest windsurfer on the day.
As well as demo kit to try we will be told more about the latest kit and trends by Rich from Naish and given some masterclass tips in
the ever popular persuit of sailing fast by the FASTEST MAN IN THE UK FARREL OSHEA!!

We will meet at the beach chosen for 11.00am and invite everyone who wishes to enter to take part in some freesailing in the waves by
way of an expression session for about an hour depending on wind. From this the guest judges will select the top 6 sailors to go on and
compete in the 'WAVE JAM' final which will last for half an hour of explosive sailing to name our top 3 on the day.
We are expecting some special guests to give us some wavesailing tips and an expression session from NAISH and TEAM OSHEA/SIMMER.
