from taking a clean sweep at her home spot Rhosneigr.
Consistency in the series is key and Shaun Ashmore
(Manchester) proved this by making finals at every event to
take 2nd place, leaving Sarah Jackson (Bath) in 3rd after an
ankle injury prevented her from competing at Rhosneigr.
Puravida was once again an integral part of the wave series,
supporting the organisers and advising the competitors.
Combined with ION there were some awesome prizes for the
series winners and loads of stash for all the individual events.
Puravida is one of the most influential windsurf shops in the
UK and is helping to promote and support windsurfers,
particularly in the student wavesailing scene.

Boardwise SWA Team Racing Series
Birmingham undoubtedly smashed last season’s team racing
winning every single event and taking home a £200
Boardwise voucher for their club. Bristol showed that
consistency is key scoring a top four finish at every event to
bag 2nd place. The fight for 3rd place was by far the closest
with Birmingham’s 2nd team, Sheffield, and Nottingham in
the running. Heading into the final event it looked like
Birmingham 2 had it sealed up with an eight-point lead,
however a no show at Nationals threw the competition wide
open and Nottingham snuck into third.
The Team Racing series wouldn’t exist without the incredible
support of Boardwise, who supply the one-design race kit at
every event. They are also invaluable in supporting all our
Core events, by bringing a van full of demo kit, getting scores
of students out on the water who would be unable to
otherwise.
