CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE
FESTIVE STOCKING FILLERS
Yes don’t panic but it’s nearly ding dong merrily on high time and Santa needs some help in filling your quiver bag otherwise you’re going to end up with more socks and Terry’s chocolate oranges than your local Debenhams. All we windsurfers really want for Christmas is some wind, and I don’t mean from Nan’s brussel sprouts, but anything else in our splendid seasonal guide would be good too…along with a nice force 5/6!
