Fat Face Night Windsurf confirmed – dates released!

- Tue 22nd May 2007

Fat Face, the
active lifestyle brand has confirmed that it will be running the second Night
Windsurf on the 8-9th September 2007 on Hayling Island, following
its spectacular inaugural event last year.

The 2006 event,
which had the perfect weather conditions of 42 knots, attracted more than 350
entrants and was hailed as the ‘best windsurfing event in 20 years’. This year,
Fat Face is anticipating over 500 entrants and spectator crowds of around 5,000
as word has been spreading about this awesome event, which is run in
conjunction with the UKWA.

Ian Williams, Fat
Face events manager commented: “The Fat Face Night Windsurf proved to be one of
the most popular events in the racing calendar because complete newcomers were
competing against the biggest names in the industry, including Nick Baker and Fat
Face Team Rider John Hibbard. This was a pretty exciting proposition for people
who may only have read about these names and seen their photos in magazines.”

Allan Cross, UKWA
organiser comments: “There will be racing during the day switching between the
masterblaster, that will be open to all levels and will be run directly to and
from the beach to create a massive spectacle, with Freewave SuperX culminating
in the final heats which will start under the cover of darkness, flood lit by
huge spot lights.”

Williams
continues: “This year we’ll be introducing even more workshops, where top names
will be sharing their skills in all sorts of areas from the basics through to
jumping and perfecting race starts.”

Smile, you’re on TV!

Fat Face has also
upped the anti on its coverage of the event. Award winning TV Production
company, Televisionary, will be filming and footage will be distributed immediately
to news channels across the UK. Virals and downloads will also be produced so everyone
can share the experience
