19th December As many of you will know, the BLU is now sanctioned by the BSA to run the British Longboard Championships (BLC). As a result, entry has to become more formalised due to the requirements of the BSA - the National Governing Body, and hence the requirements of ISA.
In preparation for 2010 I have attached a general overview of the requirements for entry.
In particular, is a clarification of BSA membership and membership of affiliated clubs in as far they relate to entry to National competitions be they Long/Short/Body/SUP/Knee boards.
Download the document here, which also includes a link to the ISA 2010 rules.
If you have any queries, please don't hesitate to contact me via the contact page link. 17thDecember The BLU is asking all competitors and/or parents of competitors to let the BLU know if they are likely to take part in an U18 division or a U16 division in 2010.
A lot of the 2009 U18 surfers will be progressing to the Open division in 2010.
The reason for the request is to see how many entrants we are likely to expect for both divisions and to advertise the events well in advance.
Please contact me via the email link in the 'Contact' page.
15th December As some of you might have heard, Mitch Corbett, a South Fistral regular is presently in hospital. Mitch, a well liked regular at Fistral is well known for both his skill as a surfer and for his good natured outlook on life.
We wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him back in the water very soon.
