Youth Freestyle Development Weekend

With the Youth freestyle series officaly over for the year, We where able to look at the results and pick out some of the most promising youngsters to join us on a weekend of coaching in Nottingham.

We had planned to take the kids on the white water course but unfortunately a freak band of rain forced the course to close over the weekend … luckily however we had an alternate venue to use in the form of Newark Wier.

Newark is a completely unique wave and unlike anything the youth freestylers had surfed before, With a long steep ramp dropping down onto a shallow ledge, it creates an almost completely green wave that is really fast but also quite shallow.

The kids learnt a lot and we had a great time coaching them, I am thoroughly looking forward to seeing them progress over the coming years.

See you on the water,

Bren
