It’s just around the corner and the current forecast is offering some yellow stars. For those who have no idea what we are talking about, the UK Freestyle tour is about to begin at West Kirby this weekend and the wind is shifting to kick out winter with a bang. Over the weekend we heard from the new UKWA Freestyle Tour Organiser, David Bradley.

“Just a heads up – there’s a great opportunity to get reacquainted with windsurfing friends this coming weekend at the first event in this year’s UKWA Freestyle Tour. After months of cold and, for this part of the world, the wrong sort of wind, it’s looking like next weekend could be an Event to remember. Temperatures are due to increase to a miraculous 14 degrees C and the wind’s scheduled to swing round westerly.

Come and see why West Kirby is the UK’s top freestyle venue.  Sailing instructions and Notice of Event will be available very shortly. This year every event will count. You’ve got to be in it to win it.

If the wind doesn’t deliver there’ll be the jet-ski on hand to provide tow in action.  And, as last year, the local West Kirby Warriors T15 Club will be putting on a party at a local venue with more plentiful portions and a lower price on the Saturday night!  What’s not to like?”
