Emma Young, Laura Young, Rebeca Thomas and Emily Haschka 1st in their heat but were left out of the final due to a marshalling error but would have taken the gold if they had re-run the final.

Every Nipper excelled on the two days, but credit goes to the Rhoose Nippers that had a go at the board race on the Sunday in some of the biggest swell we have ever seen. Special credit goes to Luis Evans, Emma Braggins and Laura Braggins who after two days of exhausting competition took part in the Golden Nipper with Laura finishing first and winning the Gold. 

The club would like to thank all of the parents for the support given over the weekend and a huge thanks to the Rhoose members who spent their time in the sea providing water safety for the competition. 

WELL DONE TO ALL THE NIPPERS WHO TOOK PART
