Tom Bridge listened to the song ‘flow rider low’–we were so bored at the end. Mum was tired from the driving, we went to sleep at one of mums friends house  he used to work at edge, he had a really funny dog which was called taf-fi; guy bridge was really scared of dogs so he did no like him.Day 1We woke up really tired we had to be at the event site for half nine, so John -mums friend cooked us bacon buttes, john always made them for breakfast. So after we were filled we headed for hunstanton when we were looking out side it looked about 4 knots- we hoped for it to pick up.  There was no wind on Friday so they could not run the pro men and ladies so they had to get all of the categories done in two days. The Bridges went to enter & in our goode bags we got a buff, this is one of the vent sponsors. At the riders briefing they said there was not going to be not very windy so they called it off until the after noon.. So the edge crew played football and watched the life style event witch is skate boarding, roller skating and bmxing, they were pulling off back flips it was amazing. At about four o’clock they had a riders briefing they said that we were going to have start at a new beach called heacham they had to start there because at hunstanton is not as good when the when the tide is in comes up, it comes up to the wall and you can not kite we had to wait until 100 meters or more of the beach had dried up. After mum thought that there was enough wind for her on the race board– there was about 5 knouts but she still went out. It was off shore she did not seem to be going up wind. In the end she still could not go up wind so the Jet Ski came out and rescued her. When she came it she said it was embarrassing. At about 6 o’clock the Bridglets went back and went to sleep at john and taf-fi house but first we watched a funny film. We got tired so we went to bed.Day 2We had to get up and leave by 7.45 we were very very tired. When we go to the site we had missed the briefing but Ned said that we had to go to heacham.
