[ Rip Curl Newquay Boardmasters ]
The Boardmasters are
back
The Rip Curl Newquay
Boardmasters in association with The Daily Telegraph,
the UK's largest lifestyle sports festival, will take
place from Saturday 27th July to Sunday 4th August at
the Fistral Beach, in Newquay, Cornwall - the surfing
Mecca of the South.
Born in 1981, the
Rip Curl Newquay Boardmasters has evolved from a regional
surf contest into a world-class lifestyle festival,
where sport, music and youth culture are blended together
in a 9-day beach extravaganza. This legendary free event
is the only UK event to be part of the infamous Association
of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Tour and is expected
to attract over 80,000 party people, whilst playing
host to a multitude of Internationally recognized sporting
Icons.
More than 200 International
surfers will descend on Newquay to compete across the
different disciplines for the $70,000 prize purse. Last
year the Boardmasters featured the likes of Adrian Buchan
(Australia), Ed Bishof (Brazil), Gabe Davies (UK) and
Newquay's very own surf legend Russell Winter, who no
doubt be back to fight for 1st place in the 4 Star WQS
discipline.
The Right Guard Xtreme
Sport VERTSK8 Series, the UK'S biggest vert skate tour,
will be returning to the Boardmasters for the second
year running, for the first two legs of the 3-stop competition.
Rodeos, McTwists and 540s will be the flavour of the
day as Europe's top skaters perform jaw dropping tricks
and battle it out with entrants from the US, Australia
and the Globe team, to become the 2002 series champion.
London's Ali Cairns will be amongst the 7 invited riders
and it's rumored the likes of Jocke Olsson (Sweden)
and Renton Millar (Australia) will also be making an
appearance.
When the sun goes
down, the temperature won't drop, Newquay's favorite
nightspots will hot up each night of the festival period
with endless hours of pumping tunes, from some of the
funkiest DJs and live acts - once you sampled the 'West
Coast breaks', Balearic Beats will be a thing of the
past.
Although surfing remains
the focus of the Rip Curl Newquay Boardmasters, the
event offers more than just surfing. For those who prefer
the armchair approach to sport, Activision O2 offer
the perfect solution with their Playstation 2 pods,
featuring the first ever UK airing of their latest in
their Action Sports range, Kelly Slater Pro Surfer (rel.
Sept 2002).
The festival brings together the
best of British 'summer fun'- whether you're there to
check out the awespiring surfing at the UK's most famous
break and or to simply sit back, relax and soak up the
atmosphere with your mates, the festival will provide
something for everyone.
