WhiteAir Ramps It Up
Wednesday, 16th May, 2007 at 12:16 pm, Isle of Wight
As you probably already know, this year the White Air Extreme Sports Festival is moving from it’s regular slot of windy October to the warmer climes of August (27 Aug - 2 Sept).
Despite some local opposition to the date change, it has been approved and given the go-ahead. Which must be quite a relief for organiser Nigel Howell, who can now carry on pulling together the 11th festival that will host the biggest Windsurfing World Event ever held in the UK!
That’ll be The World Windsurfing Racing Championships 2007. This event will attract over 100 racers from 40 countries and will be one of just three World Wide events that determines the World Champion 2007! All happening right here on the Isle of Wight.
As well as this, there is tons of new stuff happening at White Air this year, making it one of the most important ‘must-go’ events of the year. Expect live music, Quay Arts by-the-sea, digital-DJ mixing, and masses of ‘have-a-go’ events.
Here’s a look at what’s on offer.
Platform One Live Music Stage
White Air 2007 will see 7 days of live music and groups in association with Platform One! This new addition to the festival will see some 50 of the most up and coming groups and headline acts playing live on the beach from Mon27th Aug -Sun 2nd Sept. The setting is awesome based on a beach against the backdrop of one of Europe’s leading extreme sports festivals!….this 2007 extreme music festival is one not to miss!

Hi,
My name’s Dom and I was wondering if you know of a girl who lives in Ventnor and surfs? She’s really attractive, don’t know her real name but Surftopaz is something to do with it, she’s 20 and I really want to meet up with her.
Any info would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Dom
