17th May
This weekend's competition has been called off. We originally guessed a pulse coming in for Saturday and assessed we could run it in one day. Due to that pulse forecasting not to last the day, the decision was made that we would call it off and arrange for a later date.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience this late call results in to a lot of people, not least those from the Channel Islands.
A new date will be confirmed in the next few days.
11th May
The Perranporth event , scheduled for next weekend is nearly upon us.

The points after the first round of the 2012 series are now available on the results page.
25th April
The Woolacombe contest was held last weekend in what can only be described as 'harsh' conditions, for both competitors, organisers and judges. Press release here... National Trust, our new Environmental Partner for 2012, provided a team of helpers who gave of their time to get on the beach early to erect tents, provide judges vehicle, transport and general support. A big thanks to them for providing facilities not often seen at a surf contest.
Thanks also to our sponsors, Cook Island at Mullacott Cross for providing a venue to park/camp/eat/drink and entertain over the weekend. Also thanks to Old Guy's Rule for the support of the Masters and Grand Masters divisions.
The results from Woolacombe can be viewed on the 'Results' page.
Over the next few days I will be making the entry page available for the next event at Perranporth on 19th-20th May, so keep an eye on the site. Entries for the Woolacombe event were predominantly made via PayPal, the preferred way of paying. Out of 60 entrants, only 4 entered by post using a cheque or cash!
Surfing GB
As some of you may know, Surfing GB (SGB) has been resurrected with big changes/improvements on-going. The biggest of which is the provision of insurance, both personal and for events etc has now been resolved.
We strongly urge you all to become members of SGB in order that you at least be covered while you surf, not just in competitions. This will soon be a requirement for all events, for whatever discipline of surfing.
If you are not a member of a club, but want to take out membership with the SGB, it would help the BLU if you indicate on the form that you wish to be associated with the BLU by writing it at the top of the form. This does not mean paying anything to the BLU by way of a membership.
