New sponsors!!
Friday, 2nd February at 3:21 pm by Bubble
I have changed board and sail sponsors from Gaastra and Tabou to Starboard and Tushingham. With Tushingham i will be helping to develop the freestyle sail - ‘The Wedge’. So watch out for the new ones, we are going to have more sizes and a whole new fresh look to them. I will also be tweaking them a bit to try and make them feel a bit more “freestyley”! The new Starboard Flares are fantastic, they have changed from last year - they are thicker in the tail giving them more pop, also the 111 and the 99 are the same dimensions so the 111 feels big and floaty when your not planing and then feels small when you are!! Great concept.
Myself, Jo ‘Diva’ Scott and Colin Dixon are running a series of clinics this year in April/May and then September/October. The clinics will be level specific to the location. The more wavey (coastal) locations will be more based around bump and jump, intro to wave sailing and forward loops. The more flat (inland) locations will concentrate more on intermediates (harness, footstraps, intro to planning, waterstarts, carve gybes), Advanced freestyle and possibly specialised ‘women only’ sessions.
More news to come on the new gear and the clinics soon!!

hello andy,
why had you changed your sail ?? Gaastra sails are looking so good. Sure Starboard is a good choice, with the very big staff. I hope you have found the perfect with your new sponsors. Are you ready for this season ? all top riders are training for the contest.
