News: 21st April
Ben Skinner wins Open division at The Wateringhole- Bathsheba Classic on Perranporth Beach Saturday 19th April. Good conditions (apart from the freezing continuous rain) greated the competitors with a 4-5 ft swell with the wind slightly offshore. Those competitors who found a good shoulder at low tide progressed with good scores. With the tide coming in later in the afternoon and the rain easing off, the conditions got smaller but better and at times the Open division looked like the European Championships with so many top surfers taking part in the semi's and finals.
The Ladies division has tripled in entry size showing renewed interest from that sector. More Juniors and Masters have also appeared to swell the ranks.
Our thanks go to the Wateringhole and Bathsheba Surf Shop for co-sponsoring the event, together with Skinners Ales providing the prizes and freebies to all competitors with their new soft drink line.

I have added some presentation pictures as well to the site.
