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/
