WhiteAir Youth and Junior Report
No sooner home from Tiree, and we were off again to another island: The Isle of Wight! Waking on the Thursday morning in a comfy bed and breakfast with the sound of the Solent wind rushing past the window was enough to wake even the deepest of sleepers within the Team AirBorn rooms. It was windy!

White Air Slalom '05 - Junior report
"Briefing was at 9.00, & by then it was looking pretty windy. I had my 6.5m rigged, even though I didn't think I would use anything bigger than 5.2m. By the time I got out on the water the shore break was pretty big, (about logo high)" John Leonard reports from a tough event.

Rankings 2005 - Last Chance
It's the last chance to make a difference to the rankings: The inland at Farmoor this weekend will be the last chance to make an impact on the Inland Series & Rankings. The slalom event on the Isle of Wight (don't forget pre-enter for a chance at free tickets) will bring discards in, so it's all to play for in the Slalom rankings. Then it's just the ball...
