Tiree 2011

Tiree wave classic number 25 is all done and dusted for another year, a mixed event for me, it started pretty badly in some difficult conditions, i was the victim of being over weight basically!!  well, the truth being that despite being on my 5.7 and 92 litre Quad the wind was still too light to get me going and sufficient jumps to get me through my heat! despite good wave scores.  I wasn't the only one with skyeboy also going out in the first round too.

This played havoc with the line up in the double elimination and meant i faced skyeboy in the battle for 5th, he won..

Fortunately there was the prospect of another days sailing and competing to come as we tried out a triple elimination format, basically giving everyone a third go at the ladder.  Continuing in difficult conditions with a 5.3 and 5.7 in occassional head high waves i battled my way all the up to 3rd, eventually losing out to event winner proffitt as he took the crown ahead of skyeboy.  I had a reasonable heat but just didn't have the power/energy to give the performance i needed on this occassion.

All hangs on cornwall event now, lets hope it blows like last year when i won it in conditions like these!!

Chance of a lifetime?

 Just finished off our Autumn of PWA wave events with a 9th Place! no result in Sylt means i stay at 15th overall in the world so i'm pretty happy with that!

Now i have a couple of UK contests in Tiree and Cornwall and shortly after that i'm off to Chile for a month.
