It is a sad week for Western Australian windsurfing with the tragic passing of Jan Wiersam last Thursday in Rockingham, and today it is sad to let the community know of Nude board shaper and local repairer James Hooper's passing on Sunday.
On behalf of all sailors in WA I would like to send condolences to both families.
A gathering for Jan was held on Sunday last weekend and one will be planned in the coming days for friends of James's to pay their respects.
James' father will be arriving in WA this week to attend to Jame's affairs including his workshop.
Many people will have board and other items either under repair/ finished or otherwise that they will wish to be returned.
The workshop will not be available to access at this time. We ask all people to not visit for equipment claims at the moment. The rental company of the unit and James's father will be creating access times for the collection of these items by the owners once a list has been compiled.
We ask that anyone with an item currently in for repair send their full contact details and description of the item/s to the email addresses below. Preferably with photo of the item if you have it and personal Identification will be needed at the time of collection.
These details will be passed onto the agent and they will contact you with a collection time.
please send your details to either of the following emails.
