Isle of Wight is home to an Extreme Sports festival. Ideal for an island which is currently experiencing 80mph winds. You can read reviews here

so we only saw a very brief bit as it's not great entertainment for very small kids thanks to all the waiting involved.

it's just about impossible to get decent shots of people doing their thing out to sea unless you've got a fancy 1 metre long zoom thing for your camera (which i haven't).

so you'll have to make do with these surfers.
