WOW! Thursday is set up day and phew…the traders have been busy building stands, carting kit, and arranging a spectacular array of 2017 windsurfing and SUP equipment – all for your enjoyment from midday tomorrow!

The UKWA have set up registration in the marquee and are poised to present our entrants with their t-shirts and hoodies, racing information and even shower tokens!

The Army Air Corps have landed with a helicopter for the kids (and kid-ults) to explore; the food stalls have been rolling in ready to tantalise your taste buds with a whole array of temping snacks and meals, and the NWF bar has been built complete with custom NWF boards from Moo Custom, not forgetting the crates of cider from our party sponsor Old Mout.

The Stage has been erected ready for our EPIC Friday and Saturday night parties with live bands, Cadency and The Focs, as well as live DJs. Party goers don’t forget Saturday’s party is pirate themed with magnums of NWF prosecco for the best fancy dress! Tickets will be available on the door for those who haven’t yet managed to secure theirs.

And thats not the half of it….

early tomorrow morning the smaller traders will be setting up their stalls – from clothing to sports massage, Lay Sacs to would you believe it…nails for the ladies!

battle archery will be setting up on the beach, alongside a whole host of other entertainment for young and old!

and Portsmouth Watersports Centre will be ready and waiting for their eager taster session participants to rock up and have a taste of life on the water. Some spaces are still available so visit registration to book yourself on if you haven’t already!

Time to dash… more banners to hang and prizes to polish!

So come on down to Beachlands on Hayling Island (map); tickets for camping, SUP and Windsurfing participation, parties and tasters can all be bought on the day.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 10th Anniversary NWF!

Allan and the NWF team.

ps. Do remember to bring some cash as we don’t have a cash point on site!
