Worthing Demo
You may have spotted in the mags a new shop has opened up on the south Coast in Worthing, this weekend kicked off their opening for real with a demo weekend. But for me it started out months before when they invited me to create a new logo for the new shop, Worthing Water Sports. This wasn’t their first shop, so they new there direction, all we had to was bring it to life
Worthing Water Sports is run by Sue and Mike Stone, but you couldn’t say they were new to the business as they opened there first shop in Cambridge during the 80’s. Totally hooked on windsurfing they, like the rest of us have been chasing there idyllic location to run the shop, and keep on the water at the same time.
Every time there’s been a decent forecast over the last few years, Sue and Mike have taken it in turns to head round the M25 towards Worthing, and while there shop Kent Windsurfing wasn’t so far from the water, the lure of summer sea breezes was too strong to resist. This weekend was their first demo at the new shop and while the wind didn’t play ball it wasn’t all bad.
We all like demo’s with howling winds, but the reality is it becomes a bun fight and everyone sails on what they can get their hands on rather than what they wanted to try, no wind doesn’t bring big numbers, but those that do come bring questions to answer, this weekend proved to one of the later.
One guy living just across the road dough out some history in the shape of a speed board which quickly showed how things have moved on. While it was apparently a world class board in its day, the average freeride board would show it the way on any speed course these days.
