34COMPBWA MASTERS
I love a good collaboration so I decided to get
quotes from some of my fellow ‘Masters’ to
get a wider impression of what they took away
from the event.
Steve Laddiman (1st)
“Despite challenging conditions, the sun was shining
and the turnout was superb. Was super fun on and off
the water with folk from up and down the country. Big
props to the organisers, all the BWA team, Funsport
and all the sponsors. See you all again in Cornwall
later in the year!”
Kyle McGinn (2nd)
"Loved the event, competition pushes your windsurfing
in fun ways plus it was a lot of fun catching up with an
amazing crowd of people. The organisation and
commitment that goes into these BWA events is
impressive!"
Alan Cockerill (4th)
"Great event, well organised and very friendly
atmosphere, well worth the effort to get involved!"
Ivan Causer (=7th)
"Fantastic weekend at Rhossi. Warm, sunny, windy and
wavey with great craic on and off the water. Bombed
straight out when we eventually got to compete but great
fun with Mark taking the heat win from eventual champ
Laddiman! Nice work dude! You learn loads watching
how the best sailors do things and it really forces you to
up your game and try new stuff. Can't wait till next year,
hopefully in the conditions they got today and with
Laddiman having buggered off to the pro fleet!"
John McLawrence (= 7th)
“Well organised event at Rhosneigr this year, good turn
out. Conditions on the day didn't really suit me, would
have been great if the wind was stronger as I am more of
a high wind sailor. Hoping for better conditions in Tiree.”
Carl Tomlnson (=9th – missed heat!)
"After years of putting it off I decided to enter
spontaneously the day before the event whilst
travelling back from America with work and seeing the
Rhosneigr event discussed in Facebook posts. I never
realised just how much fun it would be competing in
the BWA. It doesn't matter what level you are and even
if the conditions aren't that good, it’s a celebration of
UK windsurfing and the perfect opportunity for good
craic! As they say ‘hindsight is a wonderful thing’ but I
wish I'd have entered years ago!”
