Low tide sailing at West Wittering

Francisco Goya headed over to West Wittering Windsurf Club on Saturday 9^th July. With the help of Rick from Zero Gravity, he brought a selection of 2011 and 2012 Goya boards and sails for demo.

Francisco and Rick arrived in the early morning and were greeted by warm sunshine and a blissful, summer, 20 knot breeze. It was low tide at West Wittering and the ‘trench’ just inside Chichester Harbour mouth provided some of the best possible demo conditions – 5.3 weather, warm water and hot sunshine!

Francisco Goya has an incredible amount of infectious enthusiasm for the sport and was getting everyone on the water on the new gear, running from sail to sail to make sure that not a single piece of gear went out without him tweaking it to perfection whilst explaining exactly what and why he was doing it.

Francisco headed down to the water to coach the kids from the water’s edge and later mentioned that he couldn’t believe how good the sailing was at West Wittering and how perfect it was for everyone to get out on the water together.

The conditions in West Wittering on days like this are always easy and fun for all – flat water in the lagoons and trench and small waves breaking onto the sandbars for jumping.

Everyone made the most of the Goya demo gear, which included the Goya 2011 Custom Quads, Goya Ones, Goya FXR freeride boards and 2011 and 2012 Eclipse, Guru and Banzai Sails. 2XS have been selling Goya boards for a while now and will be shortly adding the Goya Sail quiver to the website.

The West Wittering Windsurf Club barbecue was fired up for lunch and Francisco, who is normally nearly vegan, was taken in by the smell of Waitrose finest…

It was a truly great day and one of the best demos we have ever seen. The 60 year age range present gave testament to this and more importantly than anything else, everyone had fun!

Imagine joining a club, giving you the option to use the latest 2011 equipment, with full rescue cover, and your kit rigged up for you on one of the South Coast’s best beaches? Yes, it’s hard to believe but such a place does exist in the UK with the X-Train / West Wittering Windsurfing Club holiday centre style hire scheme for windsurfing, kitesurfing or SUP.

THE HIRE PACKAGE

How it works…

Step 1: Call the day before to book your gear over the phone

Step 2: Arrive on the beach pick your rigged gear up and get out on the water, change sizes of equipment if wind speed changes.

Step 3: Return gear to beach

Step 4: Wind drops take out a SUP. A great light wind alternative!

Step 5: Drive home after having a great day, no worries about putting gear in garage!

How it works…

Step 1: Count how many windsurfing boards are in the main picture (also printed in the March issue of BOARDS Mag)

Step 2: Scroll to the bottom of this page

Step 3: Type in the number of boards you counted, and an email address

Step 4: Fingers crossed until the prize is drawn on 31 March 2011

The centre has invested in serious amounts of equipment, not just the basic models but top-of-the-range boards from RRD, sails from Ezzy, 90% carbon masts, Chinook booms, DaKine harness, RRD kites, RRD kiteboards, NeilPryde, O’Neill and Animal wetsuits.

Graham Ezzy and his new Wave Panther 3

Test-drive a brand new Ezzy Wave Panther 3 FOR FREE with 2XS at West Wittering Windsurf Club’s RRD / Ezzy test centre:

OK, we know it’s freezing cold now but as soon as it warms up, we will be back out on the water, so why not come and try a brand new Ezzy Wave Panther 3?

2XS have just taken stock of their first shipment of Ezzy Wave Panther 3s (the 2011 version of the Ezzy Wave Panther).

Dave Ezzy has been hard at work refining his Ezzy Wave Panther design and he has managed to make a sail that feels even lighter in the hands and easier to throw around whilst still keeping the bomb-proof Ezzy construction and the massive tuning range.

For more information including how to demo a new sail, take a look at: http://www.2xs.co.uk/Ezzy_Wave_Panther_3_(III)_2011.asp

Ezzy Part Exchange If you have some older Ezzy Wave sails that you would like to replace, 2XS will part exchange Ezzy Wave SEs and Ezzy Wave Panthers against a new Ezzy Wave Panther 3.

2010 Ezzy Wave Panther Bargains With the arrival of the new sails, 2XS are discounting their remaining stock of 2010 Ezzy Wave Panther 2s. To get a brand new Ezzy at over £100 off, have a look at: http://www.2xs.co.uk/home.asp?CID=467

Used Ezzy Wave Panther 2s 2XS also have a selection of good condition used Ezzy Wave Panther 2s. Have a look at: http://www.2xs.co.uk/home.asp?CID=469

Any questions, please call 2XS on 01243 512 552 or email sales@2xs.co.uk
