Summer is just round the corner
15/02/2012

Summer is just round the corner and we have organized another action packed series of events for the 2012 season at WWWC.

The club opens on 1st march when sunrise is at 6.45am and sunset is at 5.41pm –that’s nearly 11 hours of daylight in the day, ie plenty of time to get your kit out of your garage, find your WWWC bibs, perhaps buy some new kit, fill your freezer with bbq produce, and join us on the beach for what we hope will be the best season yet!

Firstly here are some DATES for your diary:
• Thursday 1st March: Start of 2012 season
– full time rescue starts.
• Sunday 8th April (11am): The Easter Egg Hunt
– come down with the kids and join in the fun!
• Saturday 30th June (6pm): Club BBQ

Secondly have a read of the new x-train brochure and the new wwwc brochure.

And thirdly, spaces on the 2012 courses are filling up fast, so make sure you book up as soon as possible.

Did you miss out last year on learning a new sport? If so, then ‘seize the day’ and make sure you book into a beginner course for windsurfing, kitesurfing, powerkiting, surfing or paddlesurfing.

Or have you hit a plateau in your skills base? It is easy to go out on the water and to cruise around in your comfort zone, however it can be difficult to push yourself to learn new things. In each watersports discipline you can book into any of the following levels of tuition: • Beginner • Improver • Advanced • One to One • Pro clinic

And finally, don’t forget about the kids! They are the next generation of rippers so make sure they get off to the best start possible by booking into one of the many ripper courses:
• Rippers Windsurfing
• Little Rippers
• Rippers Advanced
• After school club
• Saturday surf club
• Rippers surfing
• Rippers kitesurfing
• Kids Pro Clinics
• Birthday Parties
• Team 15
• X Rippers(teenage)

Last year we held the first Rippers Freestyle Wave camp, which will be held again on October 27/28th and run by Sam Ross and Jamie Drummond. You can read a write up of the event on our news page here plus a selection of great photos.

And last but not least – are you missing any bits of kit? Or fancy an upgrade? Then have a rummage through 2xs.co.uk and please don’t hesitate to ask if you need any help choosing or want some expert advice then call 01243 512552. Or if you are after a bargain then we still have some ex-demo kit from last year:

And here are some video clips to really get you in the mood for the forth coming season....
