TAKE OFF WITH HIBBARD

If you fancy kickstarting your windsurfing year, come along to one of  John Hibbard’s evening talks and demonstrations. International Starboard and Tushingham pro rider John Hibbard has been travelling the globe for the past 6 years, entering competitions, attending photo shoots, running looping clinics, and living the life as a windsurfer.

After the success of his “Round the World” talk tour of 2005, he returns with a brand new format. There will still be ‘tales from the road’ and plenty of film action from Indoor events to the Force 12 session during his exploits in the Red Bull Storm chase
He will be giving tips and demonstrations on many of the techniques used in wave and freestyle manoeuvres – a few shortcuts to pulling off those vulcans. There will also be ample opportunity to quiz John on many other aspects of windsurfing, including advice on choosing the best board for your style of sailing and a few hints on sponsorship – for those aspiring kids.  Time permitting there will be a quiz with plenty of prizes. So get out the shades and ‘factor 15’, give one of the shops a call and book a ticket for this windsurfing experience.

Catch John at a windsurfing shop near you as he touches down in the UK for a few days in between his travels and competitions.

Local shops will be hosting each event and displays of the latest equipment will be at the venues. As long as the rooms are long enough – the Starboard ‘Serenity’ may feature as well.
