THE Official Test Centre, which is located at the Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy, enjoyed another great day for their National Watersports Festival Winter Slalom Series.

It was the first session of 2015 with windsurfing world champion Ross Williams among the many competitors.

As well as this, top local windsurfer Sam Ross was on hand to provide tips on gibing and race starts.

The wind died in the afternoon, giving the chance for a kit tuning session and tactics chat by Ross.

One exciting aspect was the unveiling of the latest Tushingham equipment by Marc Hambridge.

The series, an informal opportunity to continue windsurfing through the winter months, runs once every month and the next one will be on February 21-22.
