35 Judging in the sun Geoff Hautman (=13th) "The strength of the Masters fleet is amazing, and it’s growing. It has been the largest fleet at some events, and some of the Masters might win the Ams! Soon we might need a Pro Masters fleet, as Phil and Ben are getting close, and I certainly don’t want to sail against them!" Jamie Bambridge (=13th) 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!” “I had a great weekend and really enjoyed my first Masters BWA event. The atmosphere was fantastic and everyone is so nice and helpful I kept forgetting it was a competition. It made me really think about my sailing and what I was going to put into my 10 minute heat, especially in the light wind. Will definitely be competing again. Managed to get out on Monday morning for a couple of hours, it was classic Rhosneigr. I was stacked on a 3.7m. Unfortunately had to cut it short when I damaged the tendons in my wrist. Looking forward to next time!” uk WIND SURFING
