Slalom and demo weekend in Aberdovery 23-24 June 2012
It is time for our 1st Aberdovey windsurfing demo of the year on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th June. All the suppliers will be there in
force with the latest kit to try out. You can expect all the usual fun and action on the water with Windsurfing and Stand Up
Paddleboard (SUP). The demo weekend will take place in the beautiful setting of Aberdovey, the perfect flat water bump and jump
location in Wales. For those wanting a bit of wave action there is a sand bar just out of the estuary mouth for you to get your fix on.
The demo starts at 10am Saturday and will finish about 4pm Sunday.
What if there's no wind?
Even if there's no wind you can have a go at Stand Up Paddle Boarding there will be loads of boards to try out on the water. There's
loads to do around Aberdovey town and in the area there's: amazing mountain biking, golf courses, climbing, walking, fishing etc. etc.
So you won't be short of something to do if it doesn't blow!
Stay over for the party
On the Saturday night it's party time with live bands, a bbq and usually far too much beer! Parking is right next to the beach and as
long as the correct fees are paid, camping in vans overnight is allowed on Friday and Saturday nights. If your looking for somewhere to
stay check out the Aberdovey website for a list of guest houses or cottage rentals in the area. There are also several campsites along
the coast road with the nearest one being just 5 minutes up the coast road towards Tywyn.

See you there!

Gutted... Tripped and fell over on a run this morning which resulted in pretty bad road rash on both knees, the palms of both hands and
one elbow... Continued to finish the 10 mile run but was pretty sore by the end of it.
Therefore didn't feel like driving to Aberdyfi and climbing into a wetsuit so missed out on what looked like a perfect days sailing.
Could have gone out in the waves here but sat around feeling sorry for myself instead.
There's always next time.

Yep Al, you could even have done the 6.30am - 10 slot with me on Sunday (on a 9m kite). Nice swell as Neil said and stronger through
the estuary entrance on flat water early on! Friday eve and Sat were great too on small kites...
Hope the road rash is recovering...
