So lets run over the plans for this weekend.......
Saturday 20th September
Kick off time: 10am

Tides are near perfect, so you'll be able to skim waves during the morning, and in the afternoon it will be good for flatland when it starts to drop back.
Some skimboarding demos will be given from the Sandskater team, and we may run some skim workshops to help improve your skimming. Feel free to ask for advice, because the team will be on hand to answer your questions!
Saturday Evening:
Weather permitting, we will be having local band "The Iconyx" playing on the beach from about 5pm/6pm on Saturday evening. The band is fronted by Paignton skimboarder George Harris, and they have a loyal following in the south west - a must see for Saturday evening!
Later on in the evening most people tend to congragate around the bar on the sea front and also in the camping field - so come along and say hi.
