- BUCS Windsurfing Championship
For the last event of the series and ultimately the most important of them all, all the universities hailed down to Bristol for Nationals. As people unpacked, they were rushed back out of the houses straight down to Kings Street to enjoy the night at Kongs. Over a couple of pints, high scores were made on all the arcade machines. However, the competitive edge was left for the Saturday windsurfing.
And now on to our 2023/24 Series winners! We'd like to thank our amazing prize-giving sponsors, Boardwise, Club Vass, C-Monsta, DryRobe and Salt Rock, for providing our winners with some awesome goodies! A very big thank you also needs to go to Georgia Stolliday for sourcing everything. As usual you can find the full season results here.
Back from the dead! Cardiff's first event in years started off with a bang, albeit an intimate one with only the most dedicated windsurfers in attendance. The non-Cardiffians got to experience the glory that is half-off Fridays at the Taf, then headed into Studentville for a groovy night in misfits.
What a weekend! The Nationals debrief will be out in a few days but we know you're just itching to know who is taking home those coveted BUCS points and very shiny medals. From us at the SWA, a huge congratulations to everyone who competed and our talented winners!
For the third year, students came to Southampton for a weekend of windsurfing and partying. Barely a minute after the first universities had arrived, we made the trek down into Portswood and to the Hobbit-themed cocktail – pub 'The Hobbit.' Drinks flowed, and spending an evening with new and old friends was great. Rumour has it that some even wandered over to the palace of dreams to finish the night….
Excitement could barely be contained as the new day began on Saturday morning. Safety briefing underway a mere 1.5 hrs late, a flock of students made their way onto Southampton water with a delightful 10-15 knots of wind, perfect for the 'morning' beginner session and some lovely intermediate racing. Well done to Caity Morley (Exeter) for first place, Imi Feeney (Bristol) in second, and Will Barnard (Bristol) in third.
