The British Wavesailing Association released their Constructors' Rankings for the 2011 season with JPAustralia boards and Simmer Sails taking the top spots after 4 from 4 events in Men's and Ladies categories. Here's the PR from Tour Manager Nigel Treacy.

2011 BWA UK Wave Constructors' Championship

Board

1st: JP Australia
2nd: Starboard
3rd: Simmer

A win for the JP Australia team secured by some consistent podium finished by Phil Horrocks and Andy 'bubble' Chambers. Starboard also found good form with great performances from Timo Mullen, Alan Jackson, George Shilitto and Chris Murray.

Sails

1st: Simmer
2nd: Neil Pryde
3rd: Tushingham

Between them, Ben Profitt and Sarah Bibby secured an impressive tally of 4 wins 3 second places over the four events ensuring a solid win for the Simmerstyle team. Neil Pryde team members Horrocks, Bubble and Lucy Robson came in a well deserved 2nd overall and once again Tushingham showed strength in the waves with consistent performances from Mullen, Jackson, Shilitto and Murray.

2 very impressive Constructor Championship trophies are on their way to the winners.

BWA would like congratulate the winners and thank all of its brand sponsors for their continued support in another great year of wavesailing. 2011 has been a very positive year for wavesailing as we are seeing record attendances and much improved media coverage with 2 of the 4 events now receiving major coverage from Sky Sports TV.

We wish you all a very happy new year and look forward to seeing you once again in a windy 2012.

On behalf of the BWA Team

Nigel
