Divas Week Highlights: Pure Girl Power

Our first women’s windsurf clinic of the year was a very successful week of encouragement, bonding and serious progression amongst the ladies. Led by the inspiring Hannah Green, with her team of top female instructors, the week had a brilliant vibe. There were big wins across the board, especially for our intermediates, with many cracking their foot-straps and harness for the first time. Every success was met with delighted whooping and cheers all round, this is what makes windsurfing so special! There were also extra-curricular (aka non-windsurfing activities) including a fabulous breakfast, yoga and SUP yoga sessions and the week was rounded off with the ladies rocking it on the dance floor at the legendary Club Vass BBQ. If you missed this one, there’s still some space on the next one, w/c 14th September.

Speed Week: What a Blast!
This year’s Speed Week saw an epic group of fast and fired-up sailors tearing it up out on the water. With pro coaching from Tom Feeney, Finn Mellon, Camillo Pillonel and Joey Taylor, it was probably our windiest Speed Week for a few years. Full-power conditions every day enabled some seriously competitive sailing. Tom Feeney was fastest instructor with 33.4 knots (on GPS) and a huge shout-out goes to Kenzo (aged 17) who clocked 33 MPH on the speed gun, the fastest of all our guests & all-round star, definitely one to watch. Finn Mellon attributed Kenzo’s success to sheer bravery, and as an accomplished down-hill skier, no stranger to the need for speed!

It was a great group, with several ladies joining in as well as some youngsters, and everyone improved their times throughout the week. The highlight was probably the Master Blaster slalom race, with Finn Mellon the leading instructor, Kenzo the fastest non-instructor and hotel manager Sarah Bradford fastest lady (5th overall). Speed week is one of our favourite weeks of the Club Vass calendar as there’s always such an amazing atmosphere, with plenty of banter throughout the sessions and especially during the daily ‘de-brief’ at the bar. It’s not just about speed for the sake of it; being comfortable going fast is the key to nailing every aspect of advanced sailing.

Meet Bea: From Front Desk to Forward Loops!

- Amazing progress from Bea © PROtography official
If you joined us in 2024, you might remember Bea, a much-valued member of our front-of-house team. As a novice windsurfer, she was already buzzing with enthusiasm for her new-found sport. Fast forward one year and Bea’s transformation has been nothing short of legendary. Originally a law student from landlocked Austria, Bea came to us as an accomplished skier, snowboarder and elite CrossFit coach. She brought that drive and determination to the water and Bea soon demonstrated an extraordinary aptitude for windsurfing, with perhaps the most remarkable rate of progress we’ve ever seen at Club Vass (and we’re known for our proven methods of fast-track progression)! Bea went from virtual beginner to cracking planing carve gybes and fast tacks in one summer! This year, she’s made the move to the beach team after qualifying as an instructor. With duck gybes nailed and forward loops on the horizon, Bea’s passion, intuitive coaching skills and rapid progression make her a huge asset to the Club Vass crew.
Top Gear: Goya One 12 Pro Carbon Freewave & Banzai Max
A favourite this season among our advanced riders, the Goya One is making serious waves.

Find out why…
Goya says: “The best of all worlds, fusing the best traits of each of our new boards into one. Explosive speed, range and ultimate comfort.”
Ollie Scott says: “It’s highly manoeuvrable, maintains great top speed & is good for early planing, especially impressive considering its free-style wave shape.”
It pairs perfectly with the Goya Banzai Max with its superb blend of lightweight handling, power, control and range. And then there’s the beautiful board graphics, superbly complemented by the Banzai (also available in stunning neon blue). It makes this a standout combo for performance and it looks pretty good in the photos*. The Goya One also works brilliantly with the Duotone Duke SLS. And of course, feel free to mix & match from our extensive range of from the top brands.
