We will start this week’s round up with the most recent and possibly most exciting news of the week: Red Bull Storm Chase is coming to Ireland! Whilst the first storm has finally hit, we are still taking time to take in the loss of Mikey Clancy and reflect on how his death can help awareness of mental health issues.

Earlier in the week Neilson announced their schedule of 2013 clinics, with Peter Hart and Sam Ross both providing some must attend coaching weeks at some of Neilson’s top centres. On the coaching front, Matt Pritchard also shared some of his best jumping tips online. 

With all the snow and freezing temperatures this week many of you have taken to the water, frozen or not, to get your windsurfing fix. The Ianovated guys have also been out, testing their super warm suit in even more challenging conditions!

Stay tuned for more Storm Chase news, we will cover the event on more detail over on our sister site Boardseeker so be sure to check there for the latest updates. For those hitting the water this weekend have an incredible time, it looks like a few locations are going to be going off!
