The 2XS Wave Classic at West Wittering was a reunion, a revival, and a reminder of everything that makes windsurfing magic.
Over one unforgettable weekend, generations of riders gathered on the South Coast, where the sport's heart still beats loudest.
The wind howled, the waves rolled in, and good times were had. Legends returned from retirement, rising stars threw down world-class moves, and a new crop of groms proved the future's in good hands.
Ruaraidh Somerville: "The beating heart of windsurfing was laid bare for all to see down at West Wittering for the 2XS Wave Classic this weekend, the final leg of the biggest UK windsurfing tour we've seen in decades."
