Some of the world’s best windsurfers competed against each other at one of the most challenging of UK sporting events, the Tiree Wave Classic 2008. RRD / Naish rider John Skye (31) was announced winner of the Professional competition, winning the coveted Tiree Wave Classic Crown.

It was a slow start to the day but conditions really picked up later in the afternoon. The superb conditions saw the competitors performing against a red sky as the sun went down.
