Details of the North West Windsurfing Association Racing Serires from Geof Ryan

It’s that time of year again!

Blow the dust off your kit and check the old wetsuit still fits as a new season is upon us. In just over 4 weeks time the warm waters of Budworth will be ours for a day – it will be just our luck if the real winter kicks in about then!

This year I decided not to include the joint NEWS/Inland National event at Derwent Reservoir in our series – there were not enough able to make the trip to justify it. So instead West Pennine have kindly offered to host two events for us – with the possibility of at least one of them being a weekend stopover for those interested! As soon as West Pennine are able to confirm their dates I will sort out a date for Crosby – I am concerned that algae may be a bigger problem this year if we don’t get some more cold weather so I will keep a close watch on the water quality (remember the green pea soup we sailed on (in?) last year?).

If you are interested in dates for national events or the NEWS events just visit the UKWA site for full details.

This year the RYA Youth and Masters is on the 15/16^th September at Weymouth – if you haven’t done this event before it is really worth the effort – especially if you can fit it in with a short break on the South Coast.

Sadly NEWS are not holding any events at Ullswater this year as that always made for an easy weekend break.

I look forward to seeing you at Budworth.
