Boards Windsurfing recently reported on the Round Hayling Windsurfing events that were held on Hayling Island, UK. Temperamental weather made for very interesting heats that had all the windsurfers using all their windsurf skills in an effort to keep on course. There were wind gusts that reached 42 knots and 90° wind-shifts that could easily take out an inexperienced windsurfer.Guy Cribb, the winner of the weekend's main event, was cited in the article as saying, "I took my biggest slalom board – the 2010 Fanatic Falcon – straight out of the wrapper with a 50cm fin to ensure great upwind and early planing performance." His preparation made for him easily passing most of the dozens of his competitors that participated in the long distance windsurfing marathon. Of the almost triple digit participants, only 9 were able to brave the severe weather and cross the finish line. Thankfully no one was hurt and the weather made for quite an exciting event.
