New Move...
Sunday, 26th August at 4:10 pm by Bubble
Its kind of a Clew First Air Spock / Cheeseroll thing! It was invented in Bonaire by Kiri and the Frans brothers. I learnt how to do it in Fuerte and had some massive crashes!! Here’s one from Vass, bit sketchy but a claimer!! What do ya think?
Another Vass Season Over...
Sunday, 26th August at 3:46 pm by Bubble
Well thats it for another season at Club Vass. Simon Hurrey, Colin Dixon, Olly Scott and Myself have all come back to the UK to compete on the UK circuit and to try and show off our new moves that we have learnt over the summer. It was a fantastic season, we had a great bunch of people there this year and i hope they are back next year.
Our first event is the White Air on the Isle of White next weekend. Hopefully this massive High Pressure system will move and we’ll get some wind! After the White Air its the Fat Face Night Festival at Hayling (8th - 9th), the Poole Windfest (14th-16th) and then finally Tiree (3rd - 5th Oct)! So we have ot laods happening! If anyone is around for any of them then it would be great to see you!
See you there!
Fuerte update...
Saturday, 21st July at 8:12 pm by Bubble
Well, firstly let me apologise for the lack of updates again!! I think i have been sailing a relaxing a bit too much over here! Anyway down to business!! It was super windy when we first arrived which was great after the total nightmare we had to get here! Myself, Andre Paskowski (Zee German) Tyson Poor (Yanky) Kevin Mevissen (Goldmember) Phil Soltysiak (Somewhere called Canada?!) Jakub Kosmoski (Polsky) have sailed for the last 10 days and we have had about 30 triple boardbags on our balcony!! We sailed on 4.2 everyday up until a few days ago when it dropped to 4.7!! Everyone is sailing good and bad which is standard for Fuerte. Learned some nice new moves though like aerial sail and body 360’s etc!!! (check pic!)
The moves seem to be the same as last year just much bigger and faster, lots of double moves. The slalom is on at the moment, which is good to watch for a few minutes but then your attention quickly goes back to the freestyle action!!! As soon as someone gets their video camera out we will get some good action for you. Also Jon Parker is here now to take some pics, so there is more too come for sure!!!
Cheers
