Driven by Wind closes its doors PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 17 April 2008
drivenbywind.jpgHere is Dave's final statement: "Sorry to say, but windfinder has joined the other forecasts in predicting an East wind for the next few days, this ensures we will have no further sessions on the water for drivenbywind.

Once the dust has settles we'll take a look back over the last three months, but for now I'm gratefully to say we got some great results even if we didn't get the conditions. Dirk's run set a new standard for windsurfing on the open ocean, the two other national records and eighteen personal records are just a sign of what the Ray has to offer.

We may be calling this season to a close, but personally it feels like the job is left unfinished.

Thanks to everyone both on and off the water for all you support and effort

Dave
