Jessica Cooke from Surbiton, Surrey has been chosen as the winner of the RYA Publications - Simon Bornhoft windsurfing competition.

Jessica wins a thrilling ride on a Starboard tandem windsurfer with internationally acclaimed windsurfing coach and RYA author, Simon Bornhoft and a one-day Windwise coaching session, also with Simon, in 2015. She also receives signed copies of the RYA's Intermediate and Advanced Windsurfing books written by Simon, as well as a free login to both titles in their eBook formats.

'It was one of those competitions I never thought I would win as the prize sounded amazing!

'I’m very excited to spend some time with one of the best coaches on the UK windsurfing scene; I really hope I don't fall in! Hopefully I'll finally be able to master planing and become a much better instructor myself', commented Jessica.
