Saltrock Open To Launch 2006 BPSA Tour
The 2006 British Professional Surf Association Tour kicks off 15-17th April with the return of the Saltrock Open at Croyde Beach.
Saltrock hosted an epic contest last year that saw great swell, good weather and a strong turn-out of the UK’s top surfers. This year the three-day event opens with a prize purse of £3,000 and confirmed categories; Men’s Open, Pro-Juniors, Groms under 12’s, Groms Under 16’s and a Women’s Open.
Saltrock’s history in Croyde spans over 18 years and as such the company are an integral part of the local surfing community. Proud to be once more hosting such an important stop on the BPSA tour, Saltrock’s Martin Peirce adds:
“This year’s additions to the Saltrock Open aim to get even more of the local surfing community and families involved. We’ve introduced the groms contest, to open up an opportunity for kids who are maybe slightly daunted by the extremely high standard of the Pro Juniors and of course created a Women’s Open to strengthen our ongoing support for women’s surfing. We look forward to welcoming back the pros from their winter travels, with a contest that is undoubtedly one of the best on the UK surf calendar”.
The Saltrock team will be back on the BPSA circuit including Eugene Tollemache who returns after a serious neck injury and Celine Gehret, the newly appointed member to Saltrock girl’s team.
Thanks also to tour sponsors Foster’s who’ll be back with a barbie and evening party for the weekend and Freerange Sunglasses (FSO) who will again be providing their Freerange money moves prizes throughout the tour.
