IWA Brandon Bay Windsurfing event 2015 The first wave event of the Irish Windsurfing Association’s year took place on the 29th of March, and was supported by Jamie Knox. We had fantastic conditions for the event, which was a great relief to get 2015 of to a great start. Last year the IWA had 4 events but neither one was run due to the lack of wind on each date which was is very odd for the west coast of ireland not to have wind at least on one of the dates. We had a good forecast for the weekend of the event. The day before the event was super windy, I sailed fully powered up on a 3.3 sail as did most of the others sailing that day, at Gowlane. After a quick briefing at Jamie’s shop it was off to Fermoyle which was clean head high sideshore and Blowing ! I quickly rigged up my 3.3, 3.6 and 4.0 GA Sails, Which was a first for any comp I have done! The first heat was to be of the gold fleet,The Heats were scored on 3 waves and 2 jumps in 13 minutes which meant quite a rush t
