Welcome to K540.com!
This site will have all of my latest news on it about where I am and what I'm up to including event reports, tuition, videos, location reports and anything else to do with windsurfing really!
Bubble and Colins Clinics!!
Thursday, 27th September at 8:31 am by Bubble
Ok guys and girls here it is!! Finally we have managed to get our acts together and organise some dates and venues for some clinics.
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 planing, waterstarts, carve gybes) and Advanced freestyle.

Well thats it, i have won the National Championships again! Woohoo!! Unfortunately the wind didn’t play ball at the Poole Windfest last weekend and therefore the result from the first part of the National Championships in the Isle of White stands.
The Animal Poole Windfest was a fantastic event even though we had no wind. Animal really organise everything well. There is always someting to watch whether its the Animal Mountain Bike guys who do some pretty sick stuff or watching the guys on the tow in Wakeboarding. Full respect to those guys - its pretty hardcore stuff! Dan Jordan and Matt Crowehurst are definateky names to remember for next year. The was an exibition tent with all of next years new toys in it as well.
Not much windsurfing was done but we did do a tow in session behind the jet ski which was pretty good fun and offered much amusement to the general public. Myself and Simon had a bit more practice then the other guys as we did it last year. We managed to do some nice Flakas! Which was pretty cool as last we didn’t t manage to land a single trick! I have some video of it which i will put on as soon as it arrives in the post courtesy of Adam Cropper from Turfdog.
At 4.30 on Sunday afternoon it was decided to run a 15 minute expression session just to see if it was windy enough. Pumping on 5.7’s!!! Ummm nice! Simon took the honours with a nice 1 handed Bob, which is pretty sick considering the conditions - well done mate.
And that was it the Animal Poole Windfest - the best event of the year!! It well worth coming down next year just to see how well Animal organise everything. And then there are the legendary parties…
The final results for 2007 are:
1st Andy Bubble Chambers
2nd Simon Hurrey
3rd Colin Dixon
4th Adam Humphreys
5th Ollie Scott
