09.09.2008

Fanatic team had a good result the weekend.It was the famous FatFace Night windsurfing event.The new Fat Face Night Windsurf Champion 2008, Chris Audsley (Fanatic) beat 350 windsurfers from across the UK to take the title and the top prize of £1,000. Ben Proffit (Fanatic) won the Expression Session.

Basically it's a massive freeride event held in Hayling Island on the south coast of England with 350+ windsurfers competing and do master blaster races through out the day. Plus Pro Expression Sessions. Then at 9.00pm when it's pitch black they stick some big lights up and the pro's go out to do Night Super X! It was super close race with Ben Proffitt leading for a while after a great start. But Chris Audsley managed to land a awesome planning forward and push on to win the final. Awesome action and great turn out.

Chris Audsley: "It feels so good to win in front of such a large crowd. It brings the sport much closer to the public. Normally when we race it's just us out on the water. Every year the Fat Face Night Windsurf just gets bigger and bigger; this year is the best yet and thanks to Fat Face for putting this on.

Ben Proffitt (Fanatic) won the Expression Session and took the third spot in the Night Windsurf: "The guys were going super fast and I was going well but I just couldn't catch them. The only problem with this event is it just feels like super fun and everyone is just getting out there and having a laugh and no one seems to be taking it seriously!
It's awesome racing with so many other windsurfers and in the dark. Bring on next year!"
