Bermuda Boardsailing Association held their 14th annual Famous Onions Windsurfing Regatta at Elbow Beach on Sunday.
Perfect conditions of 20 knot winds prevailed and saw ten competitors zig-zagging around a slalom course set between the beach and the reefs.
A good start from the beach was the key and Tony Steel showed the best ability to get through the shore-break and out in front early. Martin Vezina had the most speed and won the first race easily. Being on the edge of control was to pay its price later.
Reddington exerted his dominance by winning the next four races. Niall Aitken followed in second place.
Scott Mello won races six and seven and pipped Vezina for third overall.
