UKWA Wave Final: West Wittering 1-2 Nov

Leaders Board

Please find below the UKWA wave rankings going into the West Wittering event. Here's looking forward to a nail biting finish to the UKWA Wave Tour. One thing is for sure - it's going to be cold in those north-east winds on Saturday so bring or buy a neoprene hat!! The wind is forecast to be windy over lunchtime so we want to get on with the competition. Please be on time for registration and rigged up and ready for competition at 10:00.

Due to the forecast REGISTRATION WILL OPEN FROM 8AM on the Saturday down at the Club on the beach.

If we can get everyone registered by 0900 and ready to start heats at 10:00 (that means rigged/wetsuits on), this would help us take advantage of the best wind of the weekend.

Telephone number of the Beach Club: 01243 513077

See you all bright & early!
