I am just back from holiday and I have posted some photo's from the last event on "BLU-3" in the Photo page. I will add more at a later date as I get time.
Frames Photography has also added their photo's to their site. Really good photo's given the conditions - glare etc.

The Watergate Bay Hotel and Extreme Academy sponsored event at Watergate Bay held last weekend was a resounding success with great waves and fantastic weather. Small but contestable waves on the Saturday with the expected 2 metre + waves on the Sunday surpassing all expectations in size and power.
Candice O’ Donnell became the 2010 British Longboard Champion, after winning the first three out of four rounds of the series with a maximum of 3,000 points.
Press release is here, and results will be up on the Results page as soon as possible. Pictures and points to date will also follow shortly.
Just a big thank you to all the sponsors the help in making this event happen.

Elliot completed the advertised Channel crossing last week in a time of 5hrs and 18 minutes and then went on to enter the British Longboard Championships at Watergate.
