UK Open Surfboat Championships 2010
Henley Royal comes to the beach
The one day UK Open Surfboat Championship 2010 took a giant step forward amongst the rowing elite.
Rumours started to fly around on the Saturday morning as word spread that members of the three crews from Thames RC had made it to the saturday at Henley Royal. They were then beaten by The 1829 Boat Club crew who went on to win the Thames Challenge Cup on the Sunday.
Then the rumour temperature started to rise when members of the very same 1829 Boat Club crew were spotted on the beach rowing as Never Led No Big Deal from NZ !

Ridley Scott - Film Director - Robin Hood release May 14th
"I'm a moviemaker, not a documentarian. I try to hit the truth".
A friend of mine says, "Art's like a shark. You've got to keep swimming, or else you drown." Keep bouncing around. People always ask me, "What's the plan?" There is no plan. I go to what fascinates me next.
When I first said I wanted to make a film about Rome and cast Russell Crowe, everyone had a good old snigger. I thought, "You wait." They've done the same with Kingdom of Heaven (2005) and Orlando Bloom. I now say, "Take a look at this".
Truro River Surfboat Race 2010
Last Sunday saw the surfboat season’s traditional curtain-raiser – the Truro River Race. In a break with tradition the annual monsoon and hurricane conditions that ordinarily bless this event took the year off and while there was a breeze, the sun turned up and conditions bordered on pleasant.
The Ladies had first crack with the sweeps starting in the water on the rocky beach below Restronguet Sailing Club. As the boats navigated out between the moored yachts there wasn’t a lot between them hinting that the sprints over the shorter courses of the Summer Series may be close run events.
