Quayside Demo weekend and BSA Slalom 5 Event coming up!!

Posted on 1 June, 2015 Nikki Ford

June is almost here and the Quayside Windsurfers Team QSW are looking forward to hosting the Slalom 5 BSA event at Hunstanton on the weekend of June 27-28.

The BSA represents windsurfing in its purest form. No matter what your ability, the kit you use or the discipline you specialise in, everyone can relate to the exhilaration of blasting back and forth, trying to squeeze that extra bit of juice out of your kit whilst racing your mates.

At an event you choose a fleet to join depending on your ability, and blast around a simple course, trying to get to the finish the quickest!

At the events, there are several fleets:

• Master Blaster Fleet: Any kit, launch from the beach, get around one bouy any way you can, and get back! First back to the flag wins.
• Amatuer Fleet: The stepping-stone to the Pros, you need to be able to gybe around a 5 bouy downwind course.
• Pro Fleet: People who have plenty of competitive experience, and racing slalom within the International Rules.
• If you are not a member of the UKWA you can still enter in the Master Blaster fleet, although we do have to charge an extra £10 to cover event insurance.For the Amateur or Pro fleet you need to be a UKWA member to enter an event,

Visit the UKWA website to sign up.

The BSA Slalom 5 event will be combined with a Quayside Demo weekend with RRD, North-Fanatic and Severne all represented. There will be demo kit to try, great deals to be had  and as always Team QSW will be on hand in the Team Bus. Look out for more updates and info in News and Events over the coming weeks or call us on 01362 851590 for more info

PLEASE NOTE: There is a £15 charge for camping and access to the Hunstanton Sailing Club facilities payable to Quayside on arrival at the event.
