I was talking to an old friend of Quayside Windsurfers, Dave White - much respected and still superfast sailor, and of Team Whiteboarders fame - and the conversation got onto his passion........ speed sailing.
He is running an event called 'Driven by Wind', a speed event run along 'The Ray', Southend - On-Sea, a location rapidly becoming a worldwide speed location. The events are run purely on the basis of the forcast and attract international sailors such as Finian Maynard and Bjorn Dunkerbeck.
Dave gave me the heads up that the forcast is looking good for this Friday, and we could get to see some awesome sailors doing their thing. I have fueled up the Quayside Team van, dried out the Semi-Dry wetsuit, and who knows, I might even get to sail with 'The Kings Of Speed'.
So I will let you all know how I get on, and hopfully get some decent footage for the website.
Aloha.......Neil
