JP / Pryde Party Nite.....

One of the highlights of the recent event in Marazion was without doubt the JP / Pryde Party on saturday evening. The evening kicked off with a quiz. To a packed house, the Station House, quizmaster Mike Dempsey fired off a series of general knowledge questions interspersed with windsurfing gems.

Teams, minimum of 4 people - were whittled down to 5 with equal top scores. Due to various misdemeanours two teams were left for a quiz-off.

Ultra Sport (distributors of JP/Pryde) representatives, Chris Martin and Lucy Weaver, were on hand to prepare the tie-break questions. Jay Williamson and Mike "surf-snax" Simpson were nominated by their teams to tackle the "sudden death" quick fire final round. Fortunately, Chris and Lucy took the precaution of preparing three tie break questions - just in case!

All that was required was one correct answer - it went down the the wire! With the last possible answer Jay and his team were victorious.

Lucy presented the winning team with their Neil Pryde product prizes.

Next up - a draw for an opportunity to attend, FOC, a "slalom" clinic with PWA World Champion Micah Buzianis, USA34, Pryde /JP sponsored rider. Chris Martin, brand manager from Ultra Sport Europe, introduced the prize and 10 lucky winners were drawn from the event entry list. A further 10 places will be drawn from the overall entry in the British Open Bridlington , later in May.

Finally, for those old enough, though perhaps not wise enough, a free pass the Barn Club - Penzance's best night club.
