Gerry Northwood

I enjoy all aspects of windsurfing and I still get a huge buzz from being on the water. Formula and Slalom racing have added another dimension to what I find is a challenging and exciting sport. This (2008) will be my 5th year competing with the UKWA and I am looking forward to it. Best results with the UKWA have been First Master in the Hayling Slalom in 2004 and First Master in the Warrior Series at Clacton, also in 2004. Every dog has his day! Other highlights have been to windsurf in the Falkland Islands, the 2007 HIHO and to windsurf mid-Atlantic, while on passage with HMS LIVERPOOL.
