BOARDMASTERS 09 KICKS OFF TODAY!
The Relentless Boardmasters in association with Vans 5 Star WQS Surf Event is set to begin today, Tuesday 4 August. Rainy weather and consistent 3ft surf down at Fistral Beach in Newquay has meant that the start of the contest has been slightly delayed. Heats will hopefully begin this morning. The forecast for good surf conditions looks set to last until the weekend, hopefully giving the field of 96 surfers the ideal start to the event.
The Relentless Boardmasters in association with Vans 5 star WQS will take place over 6 days and will feature some of the best surfers on the planet. This year sees names such as Nathan Webster and Nathan Hedge both of whom are previous WCT competitors. Add names like Vans team rider John John Florence from Hawaii and Australian Matt Wilkinson and the mixture of youth and experience really offers the broadest range of surfers one will see in the UK. To see live scores and results for the contest, go to their website.
For those looking to witness progressive surfing at its ultimate limits, Relentless will be holding the Relentless Aerial Assault. The event uses jet skis to tow surfers into waves at speeds normally unobtainable allowing surfers to perform the most radical and jaw dropping moves such as flips, spins and giant turns.
The Relentless Boardmasters in association with Vans 2009 is the most complete event for lovers of music, surf and action sports. With 3 sites across Newquay offering surf, skate, bmx, daily live music acts and a music festival for 12,500 people, including Cypress Hill and The Streets, the Relentless Boardmasters in association with Vans 2009 will be the highlight of the UK summer.
