Red Bull Storm Chase Info
17/07/06

The idea of the Red Bull Storm Chase is to watch and wait for the biggest storm that this autumn can throw at Europe and have one windsurfer from each of nine countries chase it down and find the most radical conditions their home beaches can deliver. The Red Bull Storm Chase is no competition - it is a pure challenge of man vs. Mother Nature at her most ferocious.


I really want to be the one windsurfer to represent the UK for this unique and dangerous adventure. I have been chasing wind and waves for 22 years now and I really think this event captures the essence of windsurfing. The rider selection is through a public vote:

The first round of voting takes place from the 17th July to 31st

The second round takes place from 1st August to 13th

And the winners' wait for the storm begins on the 1st September

I'd be very grateful, if when the time comes, you would vote for me to represent the UK for the Red Bull Storm Chase.

Round One of Voting has started!!! - Here's how to vote:

I'd be very grateful if you could spare just a couple of minutes and vote for me.

Then find "Great Britain" at the bottom of the page and click "VOTE NOW".

Find "Jan Sleigh" in the list of registered riders and click on "VOTE FOR ME".

If you can motivate a few of your friends or work colleagues, who might be interested to do the same I'd very much appreciate it as all the votes count

Many thanks for your support - bring on the storm!!!
