Hilifesurf.co.uk Sponsored Surf Comp



The lonely judging tower!



Friday 24th September saw the 5th Outdoor Adventure surf festival held at Widemouth bay and hilifesurf.co.uk got involved with both the sponsoring of the event and the judging.  Tricky conditions of 4-6ft surf and a strong northerly wind were found by the 50 students from 5 local schools including Budehaven, Saltash, Bodmin, Camelford and Wadebridge when they turned up to register.  The competiton was aimed both at elite surfers and beginners alike with both a normal comp format running as well as a tag team comp.

 The strong wind and large surf did not trouble the surfers too much and Saltash walked away with the top spot in the intermediates section with bags full of prizes.

September Swells

So swells come and swells go but the last one was a particularily good one, hanging round for a almost a week it was one of those swells that spots all up and down the coast lit up.  Perfect size for many beaches and reefs it was an ideal time to surf a few different boards,  by Saturday morning many surfers had aching bodies so crowds were well spread out  and there was time to catch up with a few people in the car park and enjoy the sun.

As we sit in this wintery spell with a howling North Westerly the next one seems a long way off!
