Competitors in the second Kona One Design Windsurfing Nationals were greeted by absolute calm, glassy water last Saturday morning. At least this meant there was plenty of time to register, weigh in (a whole new experience for the registration team) and rig up, and of course enjoy the tea and scones. With sun and a light easterly wind forecast it was hoped a sea breeze would develop and allow everyone to go racing.
Notice of Race 
A BIG thank you to Nick and all the Downings windsurfing event Crew for running a brilliant event. Well looked after on the water, on the beach and entertaining us in the evening. 72 entrants of all ages and abilities on the water competing at the same time. Ranging in ages form 5 to 70 in Fun races, longboard races and even managed a few downwind slalom races - thanks to Ciaran's persistence. Thanks again to everyone involved and to all the competitors who took part. Look forward to seeing you all again next year.
