Ten minutes on Google Earth, fifteen minutes Googling lorries and coaches for hire, five minutes on photoshop, a quick play on words, and T.W.A.T.S. was formed- The Windsurfers Along The South- fun windsurfing masterblaster events, that will potentially become a bunch of TWATS for next year.

Fifty participants, yes fifty, lined Sandbanks Beach with only four days notice based on a forecast for a fantastic Le Mans start line spectacle. Sorry if this is the first you heard about it!

With our phones in waterproof bags shoved inside our wetsuits, we blasted as broad and fast as we could all the way to Christchurch 10 miles directly downwind last Sunday.

Never sailing beyond cell phone coverage and therefore remaining safe, ish, we landed in style to a BBQ and beers on the beach after windsurfing 20-30 miles in glorious sunshine and open seas.

Everyone got a free T-shirt, water bottle, product prizes and a suntan. Then we piled all our kit on the lorry, jumped on the coach and were delivered safely home, miles back upwind, ready for more windsurfing and/or time with our loved ones. Smooth as a slalom fin the event run exactly as planned and no one was lost at sea.

If you would like to join in a fun event like this with a great social and challenging windsurfing combined, held only if it's windy, with no full weekend commitment, please email me back to go on the special news list for The Windsurfers Along The South.

Emails of thanks and excitement have poured in but my favourites were these- Mark Smith said "That's the most expensive day I've ever had with you Cribby- I got a speeding fine on the way there, then my brand new £400 phone sunk on the downwinder and I broke a £600 mast with my shoulder, fracturing my collar bone and tearing the ligaments! But that was my favourite kind of windsurfing- I live for that!"

And Gareth W-G said "I always wondered why everyone called me a TWAT, now I know."
