Tickets are available for £20.

Windsurfers from across the globe will descend on the Isle of Tiree for 25th Anniversary of the Tiree Wave Classic.
The Tiree Wave Classic is the most prestigious and longest standing windsurfing events in the British calender, this year celebrating its 25th Anniversary and looking back over the event's history.
The event will play host to Britain's best riders in Pro, Amateur, Masters and Women's fleets with a fantastic prize fund guaranteeing the top Pro £1000 and as well as many other top prizes, a newly launched Pura Vida Custom Quad to the amateur judged to deserve it most! It will be an unmissable, adrenaline fuelled week of competition and entertainment set against the breathtaking backdrop of Tiree's spectacular scenery. Who will pull the Scottish Broadsword from the sand?
Andy Groom who's back on the event team and was the founder of this Wave Classic way back in 1986 said “ It will be great to have guests like Farrel O'shea, Nik Baker and Duncan Coombes among other past legends there this year. To see such a great event and the standard of sailing that we've hit over 25 years has been amazing, I can't wait to enjoy this milestone”
Simmer rider Ben Proffit, the 2010 BWA Champion, said: "I absolutely love taking part in this event - for me its one of the highlights of the year and can deliver any conditions. The championship could be anyone's at the moment and I'm super keen to win here and have another shot at the title"
Organisers Pura Vida Boardriders are honoured to be involved with the Tiree Wave Classic and promise to deliver an outstanding event for this special 25th year. Jim Brooks-Dowsett, Event organiser said: "Tiree is one of those stunning locations you really have to visit at least once, and the waves can be awesome! Since the competition was founded by Andy Groom 25 years ago it's always been the one to watch and read about in the magazine's, and with the return of a few past legends this year will be a week to remember, stoked to be involved!”
Paul Bush OBE, Chief Operating Officer at EventScotland, the national events agency said: “ We are delighted to be supporting the Tiree Wave Classic for the eighth year as it celebrates it's 25th anniversary. It is great to see the increasing attraction of Tiree as a water sports desination as it has certainly proven over the years to be a perfect stage for this event.”
For more information on travel and accommodation please visit the website. There will be special offers and group Bed, Breakfast & Dinner at the Hynish Centre available through Pura Vida. Many have shared houses and van's in the past to keep costs down so get booking! To encourage more women to make the journey we are offering half price entry to this and the Cornwall comp as well as some serious prizes, so spread the word and hope to see you there!

just got back from a epic trip to mexico drove 3000 miles did a all in a oneer back from mexico kepet the car runing while one person slepet for 33 hours what a mission but boy was it worth it some of the best surf and winsufing sessions I have had with no one out sooooo goood cant recommend baha enef great trip and supprisingly with out showering for a week I dont smell that bad haha well I was in the sea every day. We had head to logo waves every day and 4.5 weather perfection with every heat staked with a exworld champion it was hard to advance through a heat but the one heat I did go through I hurt my ancle in and soo could not go again booo but good news is my foot dosent hurt any more woooo just a bad twist. the dirt road had to be a highlight for me as on the way in felt like we where in a rave with 20 foot cactasaes the bumping car acting like a mosh pit and the tunes cranking beers corona and bianas (1.5L beer bottles) flowing made for a fun drive and one point jay fell off the roof of the van while dancing on it riding it in like a surf board we though it was going to be a very short trip to baha but he liped around for 3 days while sailing stilll and was fine just a brused heal haha. We set up a great camp first night and by the last it had all change the wind had brought a hole new meaning too dustyness haha.
The week befor mexico we did a trip up to mount hood summer snow boarding was crazy fun with t shirt sweating while doing a ski run mad ness followed up that night by a regga gig been some epic time this summer hood river is one of the funest places to come non stop action and some thing to do. 10 days left in the hoood woo yer back to the uk masssiiiivvvvv woop




the event was being held at berkley so to save money we decided too stay in the back of my friend jays car wich we thought was a good idea apart from in califoria i think its illegal but any way we parked up in the berkly yach club which was the venue for the event and decided it would be i quiet place too sleep. sooo wee thought but as it turnes out i was awoken by a torch shining in my eyes i immediately hit jay m8 m8 theres some one looking in shtt the police get down had sneeky look up there was a guy with a big beard with his face pressed too the tinted glass trying too see through im no expert on police but usally they dont have a captin black beard style facal hair his eyes meet jays on outher side of glass what the f£$% he just starts running off can see the flash light swinging homeless dude checking out our car. now that freeked me out a bit soo hard too sleep and hour later a van pulles in to the spot next too us unloads 12 people pumping music and a party gets under way with full on dancing on the roof of the van shouting hooting hollering looked pritty ganstarish in my mind . about 30 minins goes by and police park in outer side of our car too move the partygores on so we hiding under so we don't get caught as they waking back and forth getting paperwork deling with the party animals. crazy night in a yacht club car park never new get so much action . needless to say that was our last night in the car we stayed at some friend houses every night great fun.

during the trip we had some van wars with rival van. in our van was me Adam Lewis from otc and George shillito in the opposition was Adam Sims ,mike archer and Joe o'callahan it began when Adam Lewis bought a lads mag at every petrol stopp so we had nuts,zoo and fhm and top 100 we traded top 1oo and nuts for a loaded with the rival van where we thought it would be funny to cut out the girls and give it back .
which back fired as when we where out windsurfing we where robbed of all of the magazines . so we retaliated by emtying there van hideing all windsurfing kit so when the went too drive off had no stuff . again this was funny but it back fired when we received 3 van attacks of same nature.
so on the way home from the pub we saw that there velux window was open on there roof witch attached to our house so we climbed across to find out it was the bath room window witch was amazing because it meant we could climbed down through with out them waking up went down stares and turned all there living room furniture up side down and had keys to there van and put it in a field went back in locked the front door and climbed back out roof window in to our house .
brilliant when they woke up could not work out how we had got in awesome haha .
the retaliating was imminent and while we where at the pub our van was emtyied in to our living room of our house 10ft paddle boards and all . mixing it up a bit night mare for us thow and all our beds where upside down. nightmare when your knackered . we retaliated with eggs next night and next day received an egging great fun aw some loved the crack haha .

to get home we had to drive back up to Dublin when we arrived we had 5 hours too kill and rehana was playing in Dublin so we tryed to buy ticket off the well dogy dude we decided he was going too rip us off to we went for a drink on a floating bar boat then went for a stroll along the river where we found some bikes old skool style too rent so we got them and went for a epic race round Dublin seeing all the sites and scaring the cars it was around 8 30 and on our ride saw a fight in macky ds a stag party crowd surfing caring the stag too the next bar and an arrest in progress and all cool buildings and sites was funny too see Adam jumped some steps haha we where just on time for our ferry .great fun

BRING ON AUSSIE KISS 8 WOOP WOOP


all going well on our road trip been up in the yokshire dales for last week had some good wind and parties at freshers week in Leeds.
but on the way up to Leeds we stopped at McDonald services where we ordered our food and sat down to tuck in after windsurfing all day with out any lunch we where pretty hungry lads super sized our meal and took a seat. we started to tuck in and after a while we noticed quite a bedraggled looking fellow sitting few tables away he looked like hadn't seen a shower for few months or a razor/nail clippers he came over started chatting to Murray saunsers being a fredly fellow had a long convo with this homeless dude. feeling the can I have a lift question coming on tried to back out by changing our route 5 times 2 fake fone calls to no one saying we where in a rush.
he didn't care where we where going he just wanted to come with us by this time Murray could not think of any excuses I was watching murrays hands shaking in fear as he said just get in I will take you to next services as he walked to other side of the van me and Murray where arguing as to who had to drive who had to sit next to him I got shoved in van to sit next to this guy who smelled like alcohol and smelled quite potent of BO.
Murray derived at the speed of light to next services while the hitch hiker sucked his dirty thumb and rocked back and forth in crazy manner talking gibberish to us. as we got to services he then asked us to drive little farther and little farther after 5 times we had to stop just ask him to get out but he wouldn't he eventually got out of the van after Murray gave him a pound he had good pick of his nose and rolled a cigarette then he got out. we drove off fast as we could and sieged big sigh of relief as we where certain he wanted to mug us but we where fine terry has gone on his way so if anyone goes threw a services and you happen to see a tramp say hay to terry slip him a burger he might bless you with his presents and lighten your day.
Terry!!










will be great. Keep you posted
