Esme H., a talented young windsurfer from Kimbolton School, has claimed victory at the 2024 National Windsurfing Championships. 

Competing in the Techno 3.5m class, Esme secured the prestigious Girls National Champion title and finished an impressive 3rd overall in the mixed competition, with only two boys ahead of her in the final standings.

The event, held at Grafham Water, featured fierce competition from the best young windsurfers across the country, with challenging weather conditions throughout the weekend. However, Esme’s skill, determination, and focus saw her rise to the top, adding this victory to her recent success at the Regional Championships, where she also claimed the girls’ title.

Windsurfing in the Techno 3.5m class, a key developmental stage for young sailors, Esme’s performance demonstrates her potential as a future star in UK youth windsurfing. By securing the National Champion title, she follows in the footsteps of previous winners, including Olympic bronze medallist Emma Wilson.

Esme’s success marks a significant milestone in her windsurfing journey, and she has proudly taken home a trophy to celebrate this achievement. Her performance is a testament to her dedication and passion for the sport, and the entire Kimbolton School community is incredibly proud of her accomplishments.

As she continues to refine her skills, we look forward to seeing Esme’s future successes, both nationally and beyond.
