Quiksilver are proud to present the Quiksilver British Surf Championships this year at Fistral Beach, Newquay. The event will be held over the Bank Holiday weekend from Saturday 28th to Sunday 29th August 2010 where the best surfers across Britain including Russell Winter (former European champion), Alan Stokes (UK Tour Champion), Toby Donachie (former British champion) and current British junior champ Luke Dillon , will be competing to win titles in the British Men's Open.
Gibson Guitar, one of our brand partners, has generously donated a fantastic Gibson Les Paul Studio guitar as the champion's trophy. In other titles Lee Bartlett, Spencer Hargraves and Greg Owen will be amongst those competing for the British Masters Title. Gaby Rowe and Beth Mason will be amongst the female surfers challenging Sarah Beardmore for her current women's title in the Roxy Women's Open. Alongside the surf champs the SUP British Title will also be presented.
This will be the first time that a British Surf Contest will be streamed live to the iphone over a cellular network. So you catch all the live action at www.tiger24.com or on your iphone at www.tiger24.com/iphonelive.
During the 2 day contest DC will be throwing a couple of expression Sessions into the mix with a total prize purse of £500 cash and DC goodies up for grabs. Edward Martin, DC UK Marketing said: "We are excited to get the opportunity to be involved with and help support such a prestigious UK surfing event as the Quiksilver British Championships. We are looking forward to working with Quiksilver and the BSA in highlighting the UK talent and to continue to assist and develop the UK surfing scene to be one of the strong forces in Europe."
This year, Quiksilver's presence down on Fistral Beach will be joined by Roxy, Gibson, DC, and Monster Energy Drinks. DC & Monster Energy will be keeping the crowds entertained between heats with demos on the Monster Energy skate ramp. Demo-ing for the weekend will be DC, Monster Energy, and Quiksilver Pro Skaters including Pete King, Sam Bosworth, Dan Mc Dermott, Sam Pulley, and John Bell.
After the success of Quiksessions during Quiksilver's surf contest last year, Gibson Guitar & Quiksilver are searching again for local bands to play live at the Gibson Tour Bus & Quiksessions Stage during the Quiksilver British Surf Championships at Fistral Beach.
All local bands and solo artists can win the chance to play live on Fistral Beach on both Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th August. We're looking for up to 6 bands and the best performance over the weekend will win £1000 of Quiksilver product. Local Bands should call 0207 436 6800 to register (selected bands will be contacted 5 days before the event).
Quiksilver, Monster Energy, and DC will also be hosting the after parties at the Fistral Beach Bar with live rock bands plus a screening of the Quiksilver 09 Eddie Aikau movie, presented by Monster.
