Tushingham have a bit of grass roots action for you, courtesy of Sam Ross relating to OnBoard Schools in East Dorset go head to head for windsurfing glory as part of last weekends OnBoard/Sail 4 Gold windsurfing championships in Poole.

The full article can be found on the Tushingham website.
Dave Hackford (Former Raceboard World Champion and GB Olympian Windsurfer at the 1984 games) who was in attendance has also provided this nice quote about the event:
” What a pleasure to have arrived at the start of this windsurfing regatta on Sunday. It has been a while since I have raced competitively and all the reasons why I loved it so much came flooding back. It was sunny, the wind was blowing and the team laughter and competitive spirit was everywhere. Team sports are fantastic – and this interschool championship highlighted the real fun of windsurfing. So much of it is about good technique and watching an eight year old girl fly past a teenage boy was a pleasure to watch. Racing may sometimes look a little daunting, but it really does improve your windsurfing skills quickly – so if you want to have ago I suggest giving the RYA a shout.”
