Jem Hall Aussie Kiss comeback
That's right! Jem Hall has frequented the Aussie Kiss a couple of times, but sadly couldn't make it last year owing to prior commitments. The good news is that he's back this year with his own marvellous brand of coaching fun. Just one more reason not to miss the greatest event in the windsurfing calendar.
Fancy Dress Costume Prize
There will of course be plenty of other prizes at the Aussie Kiss, from all of our fantastic sponsors. But a special prize will be given out after the 'Best Fancy Dress Competition' which will start at 8pm on Saturday. The two best female fancy dress costumes and their wearers will win dates with non-other than Colin Dixon and Andy 'Bubble' Chambers! The best male fancy dress costume will win it's wearer a date with the formula queen and racer extraordinaire, Amy Carter! Getting knitting peeps...

The windsurf event of the year is coming...and this year it's going to be bigger, better, more fun than ever before - because this year we're going bad...
The badness begins with the party on Friday night Bude Holiday Park, Cornwall, with DJs playing beats and breaks and windsurf flicks playing all night, inspiring all for the incredible windsurfing on Saturday, with instruction for beginners, intermediates and advanced sailors at Roadford Lake, Devon, including...
Clinics from freestyle gurus Andy "Bubble" Chambers & Colin "Whippy" Dixon
Plus the returning legend Jem Hall will be teaching you how to 'pull the trigger'
Demo kit available from Boardwise, Naish, Goya, Quatro, Neilpryde, JP and Severne to name just a few
The start of the 2008-09 SWA/Boardwise Freestyle Series
Saturday night is billed to be the party of the century, with Seven Deadly Sins as the fancy dress theme, and live music headlined by Caimbo, The Measure and Monkey Militia - check them out on the music player on the home page of the SWA website, or try them on MySpace if you want a sneak preview of the dancing to come (or if you just want to practice some moves and grooves in your bedroom first - don't pretend you don't!)
Accommodation is in static caravans, with free breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, with a free event t-shirt
This really is the biggest and best party of the year, an excellent chance to meet old friends or make millions of new ones, to try windsurfing for the first time or improve it immeasurably with professional clinics
