Winter Wave Expression Series Round 3, Sunday 18th Jan, Trecco Bay, Porthcawl...... |
|
|
Right guys, the wind and waves are truely on in South Wales this weekend and after much discussion amoungst the BWA guru's we've decided to hold Round 3 of the BWA/Pura Vida Boardriders Winter Wave Series and Wave kit demo day at Trecco Bay this Sunday, with Horton as our 2nd option if the wind only comes in further west. This event is open for anyone to take part!
|
We'll meet in the Trecco Bay Car Park (follow signs through the Caravan Site) at 10.30 for a team briefing, signing up (please bring £5 each) followed by freesailing/kit testing and the expression session which is likely to take place around 12.30. Bring a flask of coffee and neoprene beanien to keep warm....though it's not that bad to be honest!
The big swell should produce some fantastic waves with decent spacing to get out and ride! The dropping tide will keep the wave size down a little and help with an outward current to get through the waves. With Newton just round the corner for a more relaxed sail if Trecco get's a bit hairy or too onshore. Once the tide starts to drop at 11.30 the point should be firing!
As always, every entry on the day will get a point which all adds up to get the official T-Shirt at the end of the series at the very least. The leaderboard is looking very interesting so far check out the results section on our events page!!
We will be demoing a huge selection of wave boards, and if you'd like to try something specific please call in to the shop on saturday to grab it as I have limited space in the van! There are also sails in many sizes you can collect to try from Simmer, Naish, North and SuperFreaks!
Hope to see you there and please help us to spread the word!!
I have spoken to Paula, the landlady at the B&B Cafe off Newton and she has said she will be open especially for us from the morning doing Tee, Coffe, Cakes etc. NEWSFLASH: SIMMERSTYLE, O'SHEA, NAISH SAILS, WITCHCRAFT and FANATIC HAVE AGREED TO SPONSOR OUR WELSH WINTER WAVE SERIES AND PUT UP SOME SERIOUS PRIZES FOR THE END OF THE TOUR!! MORE DETAILS AND PRIZE LIST TO FOLLOW SOON....NOT TO MENTION A TEAMRIDER DEAL UP FOR GRABS
Well here it is...by popular demand we continue to run our winter 'just for fun' wave series at a selection of great Welsh Beaches! With prizes at the end of the tour to be presented at one of the bootsales! Each one will be run in the expression session format as at Newton...
These events are run with the Barry Windsurfing Association. Checking the longrange forcasts we'll select a beach that falls a good forcast over the weekends and post it that coming week, keep an eye on things and call the final decision of where to go in this forum on the Friday.
Scoring will be 6 points for 1st place, 4 points for 2nd, 3 points for 3rd, 1 point for entries there-after. All results will be logged to create a leader board that we'll keep updated.
SUNDAY 18TH JANUARY, TRECCO BAY BEACH CAR PARK MEETING AT 11.30AM, CONDITIONS LOOK GOOD FROM EARLY ON WITH TIDE DROPPING AND BIG SWELL AND WIND
THROUGHOUT THE DAY....CHECK HERE FOR UPDATES
I hope plenty of you can make it if the wind holds true! The results will be as much about sailing skill and passion on the day as juggling family commitments I think...It's not that cold, honest, beat the winter recession blues!! |
