Following the immense SWA festival Aussie Kiss, the freestyle, wave and race series is now underway where select Universities around the country host the ‘Core’ event series.
Last weekend was BrUWE’s (Bristol University and UWE) turn at hosting the first event in the core series…Bristols Wet Dream 4! Although not on the same scale as Aussie Kiss, the SWA and the Bristol Universities put on an epic weekend of beginner tuition, off-the-scale parties, freestyle and racing competition.
The forecast for the weekend wasn’t great so a light wind freestyle contest was held on the Saturday. I rigged my 4.2 Edge and a massive floaty board to spin around and get very dizzy on. Ducking manoeuvres, strimmers and jumping body and sail 360’s were being pulled off in every heat but I just managed to win the contest, with some close competition from fellow Solent University student Adam Chubbock.
Next event in the core freestyle series is in Liverpool, which is on the 23rd – 25th November. See you all there!
