Fat Face releases dates and details for the Fat Face Windsurf 2008

www.fatface.com/nightseries

Fat Face has confirmed the dates for the Fat Face Night Windsurf as the 6 – 7^th September on Hayling Island.

Now in its third year the event, run in conjunction with the UKWA (UK Windsurfing Association), has firmly become ensconced as one of the favourites for pros and amateurs alike and previously hailed as ‘the best windsurfing event in 20 years.

Anyone can enter that has not competed at national level, with a separate division for the Pro Fleet. Any board can be competed on, including tandems, pre-millennium and pre 1985.

The format of the event sees competitors battling it out through constant Masterblaster heats held throughout the day, which is open to all levels; all sponsored, with prizes! The heats for the Supper Cross Freestyle takes place throughout the day with only the best making it through to the finals, held under the cover of darkness, to the loud applause of the assembled spectators!  With a prize pot of £2,000, much is at stake, as well as the accolade of being crowned the Fat Face Night Windsurf Champion.

The first year of the Fat Face Night Windsurf brought masses of wind with little sun; last year the event had sun but very little wind. This year organisers are hoping for both to create the perfect platform for the windsurfing talent to shine!
