We turned up at Hayling Island on Friday night ready for a weekend of RS:X racing, but as the wind increased and the breaking waves got bigger the chances of racing looked slim. Saturday was put under AP for one hour.... then another hour added on then canned for the day! At this point the freestyle kit came out and a goal to learn how to Flaka! Connor landed his first Flaka then a few hours later it was my turn! The same happened on Sunday. We had a few trips over to west wittereing where air spocks, forward loops and bg flakas were on the cards! As the wind picked up the moves got bigger before we desided to head back to Hayling before it got to much for us to cope with! Cheack out the video!!!

LLandudno (West Shore)!!!!
Wind all week and the weekend wasnt looking to great at first! But as the week went on the wind picked up on Sat more and more. Saturday 9th 7.00am we left for Llandudno! I have never sailed there before but the cross on-shoe wind and nice swell makes it perfect for chop hops arial moves! There is also a break water that leaves a nice flat water area for the new school freestyle tricks such as spock 900's and flakas! The rigging area is either a sandy beach or grass!
