7 Surf Sri Lanka


The time has come to start thinking of where to head for some warmer waves this winter. Super tempted to head back out to Sri Lanka again after such a sick trip last year, awesome waves, delicious food, lovely people, amazing weather and dirt cheap. What more could you ask for?

Here's the vid of our trip in 2010. Enjoy.

Jesus Surf Classic

Last weekend saw the return of the annual Jesus Longboard Classic at Polzeath. The smooth flowing, well run event always attracts a fair few big names and then the free breakfast usually draws in the numbers!

With a £1000 prize pot the event was well contested with all categories maxed out and people being turned away. With a fun 2-3ft glassy swell running the 2day event looked like it would be a good one.

I progressed through the contest to the semi finals, where I drew French Senior Champion Nico Kerruzac and 2 of my best mates British Champion Ben Haworth and NDA's Dave Hutchings. The semi went well with some good waves and decent noserides, but Ben and Nico were fully killing it, thus ending my time in the competition. I ended up 5th overall in the comp, for the 2nd year running.

Final result -
1. Ben Haworth
2. Nico Kerruzac
3. Angus Murray
4. Ben Skinner

All in all a cracking event with great surf, plenty of banter, awesome company and we were blessed with sun in October. Big thanks to http://www.christiansurfers.co.uk/
