Weymouth National champinchips sept.

This wasw a major event for me as it was my first on rs:x in the youth catagory. It started badly however with kit failure that meant i missed the first 2 races. However the third race on saturday proved successful with a 7th place. On sunday 3 races were run, in which i scored another 7th and two 3rds! This was excelent and although i didnt have a good finishing result because of the two races i didnt compete, i got some solid results in.

This proved to be enough to make me stand out, as few weeks later i recieved that all important letter telling me that i had been selected for the 2008/9 National Youth Squad. This was excellent and involves weekends of training at Weymouth with the best youth windsurfers in the country, as well as training overseas in February.

I will now concentrate on training on my rs:x over the winter to get really for the 2009 season.
