Young UK Windsurfer Given Community Outreach Award
I try to find windsurfing events and/or happenings that span across the world rather than just limit myself to the United States or areas like Australia that already get tons of windsurfing sports news coverage. This is why I take all of you to the small town of Falmouth and Penryn Parish in the United Kingdom where a young windsurfer was recently honored for all the work she has done for her community and the young would be windsurfers located within it.
Marianne Bryan was awarded the Royal Yachting Association’s Community Award for Youth for all the work she's done around the area. Marianne worked with young children and novice windsurfers with South West Windsurfing and Roseland Waveriders windsurfing club at Percuil. Marianne started windsurfing at the ripe young age of 15 and picked up the sport's intricacies quite quickly and showed a knack for teaching others how to windsurf on their own. We're always glad to see stories like this and hope to see many more youngsters taking up the mantle of teaching the next generation how to hope up on a board and take the waves by storm.
