This week sees the return of the White Air Extreme Sports Festival (26th-29th Oct) and as it’s their 10th anniversary, expect a bigger festival than ever before.
Sadly, the madness that was the ‘chicane blast’ won’t be happening this time, and we’ll be getting the lowdown on why, later in the week when we catch up with Nigel.
However, there is a mountain of other events to keep you happy with loads of ‘have a go’ options, from mountain boarding, thundercat powerboats, paragliding, winddisc, or kitesurfing to windsurfing and surfing. Or you could join in the skate clinics, parkour and the art of free running, or try out the graffitti workshop!
We’ll be bringing you more over the coming week, but you shouldn’t take our word for it, go along and experience it for yourselves. A four day pass is £12 for over 16s, £7 for kids under 16 or free if under 7.
As well as all the sports events, we haven’t forgotten the music – more on that later.

Next year the event changes to earlier in the year, taking place between 27th August – 2nd Sep) and will be hosting the biggest Windsurfing Event ever held in the UK – The World Windsurfing Formula Championships 2007. Apparently it should attract about 100 competitors from over 40 countries.
Let’s hope some of them stay in Ventnor.
