| September 2006 - Ben Harwood Joins Team RIKS! |
 |
| Norfolk hotshot Ben Harwood who has just turned 15 got involved with freewave sailing just over a year ago and is now well and truly hooked! Since then he has started to compete on the UKWA Freewave circuit and has already surprised himself with some finishes within the top three! |
|
| Ben and his family (all of whom are keen windsurfers) have had an association with RIKS for some years now offering solid advice on all of their equipment needs. Ben is therefore really stoked to be part of the team joining the likes of Rob Jones and Rich Potter, both well respected sailors in their respective fields. He is already equipped with some of the 2007 Neil Pryde sails and a JP Australia Freestyle Pro, all of which have had an immediate benefit to his performance. |
|
| Both Rik & Rebecca are happy to have Ben on board. Not only is he a superb talent with much potential, he has already shown the ability to offer friendly advice to his fellow windsurfers, and is really keen to learn about the latest kit. Personal traits like this are so often lacking in those looking for support. Ben should therefore be a model for others to follow in years to come. |
|
| Right now Ben is training hard ready for a full season of competition through 2007. Hopefully a last outing at White Air in October will also put in him good stead for the upcoming season. All of us here ay RIKS wish him the best of luck. |
