Dear Rowers
 
Please find links below to the results of the Round 2 UKSRL Oceanfest Surfboat Grand Prix held on Woolacombe Beach on Saturday 18th June.
 
Crews were greeted with 4 - 5ft perfect offshore swells on a red hot sunny afternoon. Perfect for Surfboat racing, once we had managed to clear our event arena of 100s of bathers !!
 
Congratulations to all the crews for taking on the surf and for an event that definitely drew the biggest crowd on the beach. Hopefully the Oceanfest organisers will appreciate what an outstanding spectator sport Surfboat racing can be, given the right weather and surf conditions.
 
There should be be some spectacular photos available and I will chase up the organisers for copies.
 
Also, well done the Portreath Ladies crew for scoring the Sky Sports TV crew, they must have some great footage for their show of the Oceanfest event due to air in mid August. If you managed to grab a contact name, keep us informed as to when we might see the final results. Well done Dan, for getting their cameraman soaking wet when taking him out in the boat, I hope you scared the pants off him !!
