To progress in our sport we need to experiment and push ourselves and our equipment. And it happens to us all at some stage that our lovely new(ish) board gets a bit broken from the experience. A ding from a drop on a rock, an Invy sandbar encounter or, as is the case with some of us, a mast through the nose on an untimely catapult. It happens. What to do next? If your skills are a bit like mine i...

A reminder that we all need to be watching out for each ot...

Thanks to all who came and played on the IWC Training Day on the 6th of April, a time to learn some new skills or reinforce older ones. Low tide was early, and with the increasingly stronger Easterly, made for great gybe and tack practice on the short runs to the sand bank and back. Self rescue practice, with controlled body drags, made for some fun racing.
