Through the noughties, the Animal Windfest at Sandbanks was one of the south coast’s biggest action sports festivals attracting at least 10,000 visitors a year.Bournemouth Echo:

The fun included professional kitesurfing and windsurfing competitions and have-a-go opportunities, fun slalom racing, Animal Bike Show, King Ramps skate ramp sponsored by Red Bull and wakeboarding slider pools.

And to top it all off were the fantastic evening parties which were legendary. So we have found in our archives and put this collection of great photos from the 2003 and 2005 parties.
