FIRST FLOWRIDING CHAMPIONSHIPS
With just 24 hours to go until the first ever UK Pro Surfers Flowriding Championships at Retallack Resort & Spa, Cornwall (Thursday 17th June, 2pm-11pm), the competition has been given an extra edge with the news that British & European champion longboarder Ben Skinner has been added to the competitor list, in addition to Swiss female champion Celine Gehret and Irish surfer Nicole Morgan.
The majority of the professional surfers taking part in the artificial wave event have been taking advantage of practice sessions on the artificial 12m wide wave and Ben is among those looking strong ahead of the inaugural competition. Organised by the UKPSA and run in association with the Gul Night Surf Event, the Flowriding Championships at Retallack is set to be an unusual and exciting event, with a special set of judging criteria having been drawn up with the help of Retallack’s Flowrider® staff.
A £2000 prize pot is up for grabs and the men’s roster includes Russell Winter, Sam Lamiroy , Jayce Robinson, Reubyn Ash. Meanwhile Beth Mason, Gabi Rowe, Anastacia Swallow and Joanne Dennision will also be representing the women, with up-and-coming talents Lewis Clinton, Harry Timson, Lucy Campbell and Harry DeRoth taking part.
The event is open to the public (free of charge) and will also include live music, a full bar, a BBQ, stalls, and prize draws to win Flowrider® passes that can be used at a later date. Christian Surfers have supplied a mobile skate ramp and there will also be a “learn to DJ” decks set-up. Bus services are running from Newquay every other hour from 14:30 until 22:30 to-and-from the Biotravel office on Bank Street.

The Flow Rider hits the UK!
The Loop, Retallack Resort & Spa in Cornwall has made it possible to surf on the flat days! By generating a thin sheet of water that flows over a stationary wave they have made it possible for you to carve & turn, ride up & slide down the simulated wave surface. Pretty cool! Obviously not quite like getting into the ocean, but not bad for a no swell day!
The ONLY surf camp held just for ladies all summer long on the beautiful beaches of South-west France.
Don’t let the guys get in the way - come and join the fun!
