Hi Guys,

This is the first year ive signed up for the AWA membership, i've just checked the registered sail numbers and they have assigned me one already but has anyone else got their t-shirt yet that comes with the membership?

Also i'm considering doing the Ledge to Lano race next year but i have only got a FSW board, would this be suitable or would it be best to go for a slalom / race board?

Heya Alimac,

Normally the WWA crew get going around September, I'm sure they're working on the T-shirts as we speak

Regarding the Ledge to Lano, a FSW board will be fine, and unless you're a gun sailor will be more suited to you than a slalom board. The most important part of this race is to finish, and you're more likely to do that on a FSW board imo

Just remember to do a couple of downwinders (like, really really deep off the wind downwinder) with some mates before the race. You'll be fine

Thanks Nebs!

I thought as much with the WWA guys, looking forward to windsurfing so much this year, last year was all over the place trying to get the house finished and get some kit together but this year im fully ready for it, i've even started going to the gym to get some fitness back

Good advice on the FSW board too, i'll make sure i get out there and give some real downwind runs a go, does anyone ever do the ledge to lancelin race before the actual race day to get ready for it?

Yep, there's normally some crew keen to try it beforehand. Best training you can do for it!

Thanks Nebs- training run was better than the race!! at least i made it home.

Alimac IMHO dont do it the day before the race cos you might bust something and spend the next day lamenting...have a blast around the bay and in the waves instead.
