This has been published on the Boards web site and will be in the Sept Windsurf Mag.
Wednesday 5th August was the sixth of eight race nights that have been planned by Waterfront Sports Exmouth. Since the beginning of the year the race night has been gaining momentum and now regularly has over 15 competitors. Our last race night was a huge success that saw Dave Hackford from Tushingham start the event with a very detailed talk about tactics and tuning, This was then followed by a number of practice starts to get the races in tune with how to start a race. We then had 3 races around a pre planned course and finally ended up in the Beach Pub for a well deserved de brief.
The racing was very close considering the diverse range of kit and ability. I would like to thank Dave for his help and all our racers for turning up and supporting our long board resurgence. It is fantastic to see young children from the local comprehensive getting involved and well done to Shane for making it around the course. We some how need to let more people know about the Long Board come back and get the children involved from an earlier age.
