A Happy Easter to you all. No doubt some time out soon beckons and if the wind does not show please consider getting your awesome waterperson physiques into and onto the water and doing some light wind fundamentals or freestyling and / or hiring / getting out stand up paddle boarding which can be hired in many places now : )

UPCOMING EVENTS:
The National Windsurf Week kicks off on May 1st. where we ask you to enthuse people to learn or continue to improve their windsurfing. There will be lots of free beginner and taster sessions all over the country as well as the Sunrise to Sunset W4CR (windsurf 4 cancer research).

This weekend is kicking off in style with the legendary Round Hayling event on Friday 22nd, this involves racing around as much of the Island as the wind and your ability permits and also a SUP race too.

Saturday and Sunday sees Hayling beach front host both the first slalom and freestyle competitions of the year where our rippers, Adam Sims and Connor Bainbridge and our new man Will Rogers will be strutting their stuff. There are also fleets for amateurs as well as pros.

BREAKING CLINIC NEWS:
My next UK coaching for Improvers and Intermediates is on May 19th at Blithfield reservoir through BOARDWISE on 01543 505084.

We have a few spaces on the June 29th Rhodes coaching clinic which has changed status to ADVANCED thereby opening up its appeal, whilst looping will still be well covered for those wanting this move.

The wind, warmth, waves and golden joy of both Mauritius and the Brazil combo clinic are also open for bookings too, but the spaces will sell out soon : )

Lastly, my Dad and I celebrated our respective 70th and 40th birthdays this weekend and we partied in style with friends. I would like to say a huge thanks for all the best wishes, cards and presents and to Sophie, the lovely Mrs. Hall, for both organising and presenting me with my new number plate .. 


rip and enjoy,

Jem

Well Spring is just loving life right now. The warm weather is heating the sea up nicely as it jumps from a frigid 8 degrees to a balmy 11 over the last 3 weeks so dust off your kit and get your dancing shoes on.

Marsa Alam is firmly on the calendar for next year and for the last 2 weeks in March 2012 so please book early for this as it has shining reviews and feedback. Check out the goodness on the Boards Forum
