Look out for the 'Surfkraft Sessions' .........  the first official session planned will be a bit LOOPY, where people wanting to 'loop'

will get the chance to benefit from some expert tuition from an experienced windsurfing coach and a special guest 'pro-rider'

(two for the price of one) and feel the added pressure of being in a group to overcome any demons preventing attempts previously

.......  places will be limited, so book early to avoid disappointment.

Suffice it to say that since Krafty found himself out of work, and outside of the industry, he has not been idle. 

Krafty has been working tirelessly over recent years organising and helping others with organising windsurfing events,

and has successfully run the South East Regional Inter Club Team 15 events for a couple of years. You can look at successes such as

Eastbourne Extreme for example, and also Techno Cup and more recently Kona Cup series for an indication of what is possible.

Also, Krafty has been doing some serious R&D recently at overseas windsurfing events ......

So, what are the 'Surfkraft Sessions' ?

How do people get involved ?

Why would people want to be involved ?

Time to find out !

SO ....KICKING THINGS OFF

Are you feeling a bit LOOPY ?

You are not alone, there are plenty of windsurfers who are looking to crack the LOOP, so, to help people

achieve their goals, Krafty has taken the initiative and organised a 'LOOP CLINIC', as he is also one

of those aflicted with the urge, but yet to achieve 'LOOPER' status.

Clinic details as below.

Venue - Camber Sands

Date - subject to forecasts and will be called on the thursday prior to the detailed dates....

SO .... Sunday 9th November 2008 is the date for your diary

Potential dates

8th or 9th or 22nd or 23rd November

(current favourite is Sunday 9th ... NOW CONFIRMED)

further dates may be added if mother nature doesn't play ball

Format

08:30-09:00hrs

Meet up with everyone at 'The Place', Camber Sands, for breakfast*, and to be introduced to

Callum Edge,  our Looping Coach for the day, and the special guest 'pro windsurfer' - Matt Pearch

who will be assisting Callum, as well as offering further expert encouragement and tips.

........ and there may well be an additional surprise or two in store on the day .

Once rigged up and on the beach. the format will run according to the plans & ideas of the guest 'Pro(s)', with the basic intention to get

people looping. As the daylight hours are reduced at this time of year, the session will finish mid-afternoon ish,

with the intention to return to  'The Place' for some video / photographic evidence of everyones

 attempts and a coaching debrief,

before tucking into some well earned tucker

 in the brasserie at approximately 5:30/6:00 p.m.

 There is accomodation available at 'The Place' for anyone travelling from further afield, or if anyone wants to stay a little longer

to enjoy some extra Camber time and make the most of a decent weekend forecast for wind.

Cost

This will include breakfast, early evening meal (orders will be taken at breakfast time) and all the coaching throughout the day.

Lunch is up to you to organise for yourselves, as well as making sure you bring suitable kit for loopy action etc etc.

Cost is  £40 per person for the day, payable to 'The Place' at breakfast time, when you will also be asked place your supper order.

Full details on the day .... but first things first, get your name down by emailing Krafty so we can give

 The Place as much notice as possible.
