NS boards take the trophies in Saltburn

The event took place over Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th May

Saturday saw a small swell of waves but with the promise of better conditions the event was held over until the Sunday. This proved the right decision as the surf improved with a swell consistently breaking all day

The full competition was run through-out the day with all 4 categories of competition completedRuss saltburn NS Boards

The current Men’s Pro Champion -Russell Winter (from Newquay Cornwall) won the Men’s competition with Gordon Fontaine (France) in second place. The Women’s Pro event was won by Holly Donnelly (from Newquay)
