Storm Amy had drained the life out of the Atlantic, leaving Tiree with glassy seas and little sign of wind. But for those who made the trip, it was still a week to rememberepic surf sessions in the early days and plenty of time for the social side of the event that often gets lost when the wind is howling.By midweek, hope flickered back to life. Forecasts showed a promising system for Saturday, the day after the event was officially due to end. Logistically this might normally be an issue with re-booking ferries etc but Willy McLean had managed to organize a Saturday evening ferry with Cal Mac and that was our get out of jail certificate to extend the event for an extra day. That gave everyone the green light to extend the event for one extra dayand what a day it turned out to be.A Super Saturday at CrossapolWith a strong south-easterly forecast to line up the swell, Crossapol was the chosen arena. Running every fleet in a single day was no small task, but the judging team pulled it off with military precisionsetting up split peaks to run two fleets simultaneously.By 1 p.m., results were already in for the Juniors, Amateurs (men and women) and Masters, setting the stage for the Pros to take centre spotlight. With 2530 knots of wind and head-high waves, conditions were better than anyone expectedTiree once again delivering when it mattered most.Pro Mens ShowdownThe mens field narrowed to two intense semi-finals: defending champion Lucas Meldrum faced Belgiums Dieter Van Der Eyken, while multiple-time winner Phil Horrocks took on Ben Page. After fierce heats, it was Dieter and Phil who advanced to a much-anticipated final.The conditions were firing and the beach crowd gathered to witness the showdown. Phil threw down a tweaked push loop, a tabletop forward, and some powerful wave rides but Dieter responded with a massive stalled forward, a tweaked pushie, a double attempt, and a perfect wave 360 that ultimately sealed his victory. Lucas edged out Ben to claim third place on the podium.Pro Women and Amateur HighlightsIn the womens fleet, Cory McFarlane came out on top after three close finals with Milanka Linde, who secured second place. Liath Campbell took third, and Izzy Adcock finished fourth.The youth division saw Eddie MacLean take top honours ahead of Mikey MacLean, Max Sargent, and Bende Szincsak, while the Mens Amateurs were led by Arthur Fox, followed by Ollie Randall, Chris Beng, and Rob Loescher. In the Womens Amateurs, Caitlin Boothroyd took the win over Mimi Dunn, and the Masters title went to Joe McIvor, ahead of Andy Hart, Rob Blades, and Ben Harbour.A Fitting FinaleAs the sun set, winners received their coveted Tiree swords before everyone raced to the ferry, fingers crossed it would make it through the swells. The Cal Mac crew worked their magic, docking safely and carrying tired but elated competitors back to Oban.Once again, Tiree delivered an unforgettable weekproof that patience pays off in windsurfing as in life. Until next year but in the meantime, word on the street is that the Witterings Wave Classic might be firing up this weekend.
