Me, Max Bushell and Luke Raistrick windsurfing at North Lincs! Having a go on shortboards and doing tandoms!!!

Eric Twiname 9th+10th May

After a busy winter the zone training had nearly come to an end and it was the yearly Eric Twiname. I wasn't as nervous a i was last year because it was my first time but i still wanted to do well! On the first day there was lots of wind (good for me) so i hoped i would get some good races.

By the end of the first day I was first 6.8 girl and 1st overall!! but only by 1 point because team mate Max Bushell was hot on my heels. Lukily for me there was no racing on Sunday otherwise Max might have taken the lead.So there was an early prize giving meaning i was 1st 6.8 girl and better still I had beaten all the boys and come 1st overall aswell!! My younger sister came 1st 4.5 girl and 2nd overall which is alot better than i did when i was only 10 years old !!!!!!!

T-15 Campions Cup 2008

Day 1

The first day was really windy. It started of as not much but it soon picked up. I did the first race of that day but on the second race the wind picked up so that I was overpowered on my 5.5m. I canged down to a 4.5m but the wind picked up even more so that I couldn't get out to the course.

Day 2

The wind wasn't as strong as the first day so I was able to complete all of the races. Meaning that I could discard both of the races that I didn't complete. I got 2nd Techno 5.5m but 3rd overall. Other ace perfrmances came from Sarah Labourne, max Bushell (who was 1 point off coming 3rd), Ruben Lansley, Lewis May, Harry Davis and Max Buttler. It was North Lincs first time at the Champions cup in years and we pushed ourselves to the limit to get 2nd place overall out of 9 T-15 clubs.

Scaling Dam SC

Day 1

Good wind.Most of the time around 15 knots. We had a good turn out from North Lincs with Me,Max Bushell, Ruben Lansley, My sister Sarah and Lewis May!!

Day 2

We had to wait all morning for any wind at all then a breeze picked up over lunch and we all went out to do some good racing!We did 2 or 3 races. It was really close in the 5.5m fleet between me Mark Reynolds and Robert Griffiths. In the end I won with only 1 point between me and Mark Reynolds but at the end of the day I won!!!!!Robet Griffiths got 3rd and Ruben Lansley got 1st 4.5m.

Just blasting

I went windsurfing at North Lincs and had a go
with my brand new JP Freestyle/Wave 95 litre shortboard !!! Max Bushell and Lewis May were there as well.When I was leaving Luke Raistrick came down to have a go.
It wasn't that windy but decided to go shortboarding anyway.
I also had abit of a go on my Techno as well.
