The BWA announce their dates for 2015… with one notable absence.
2014 was a great success for the BWA with a lot of new competitors joining the fold. There are changes for 2015 that should fuel this momentum.
2015 starts with a change to recent tradition, in place of the Wales-Ireland double bill, we have extended the Wales event at Rhosneigr. Not only will this give more opportunity for all fleets to complete a double elimination, but Funsport will be hosting more entertainment and an industry supported equipment demo.
We are very sad to not be taking the tour to Ireland this year but lack of entrants, in large part due to escalating ferry costs, has lead us to try something different for 2015. We thank Spillanes, Jamie Knox Watersports, Kathleen McAuliffe.com and the Kerry Sail Company for their indispensable support over the years and we look forward to working with them again in the future.
Then after a summer break we head North for 7 days of amazing Scottish hospitality at the Tiree Wave Classic. Two weeks later the tour heads to the deepest south for the final event in Cornwall where the leaders will fight out the coveted Championship titles.
As always, the dates are provisional but at present there is no reason to change for Ams. Ams includes all non-pro fleets: women, masters, youth and amateurs.
With no Ireland event at the start of year there’ll be yet more pressure on the riders at Rhossy…
