This event is hosted on Anglesey in North Wales with Funsport at Rhosneigr beach and Bangor university.
There is a solid south wind and good swell forecast for saturday and more South Westerly winds coming in and growing swell for Sunday, with plenty of beach available all through the day to run the competition!
The format for the weekend is as follows:
Saturday:
We will aim to run the main competition in the best side shore conditions on offer across the weekend.
9am - Beach check, rig up kit and heat draw for the competition will take place, all riders need to be signed in by 9.30
10am - Briefing at Funsport Shop, all competitors must attend, first possible start 10.30
4pm - last possible heat
Sunday:
We are running a Student Super Session with coaching and tips from local sailors and some top tips for the conditions. The Expression Session format will be run and photographed to find the ‘best jump’, ‘best wave’ and maybe even ‘best wipeout’ ……all images will be viewed online at www.boards.co.uk the following week so that you can log on and vote for the top 3. We will welcome images from any budding photographers who might want to capture the action!
12pm - Briefing at Funsport Shop, all competitors must attend, first possible start 12.30

Please make sure you attend the briefings so you know about any changes or updates based on the conditions each day.
The beach cafe will be open all weekend with special meals on for students, competitors and spectators alike so please come along and enjoy the action!!
Nigel and Geoff from the BWA should be around across the weekend if you would like to find out more about the upcoming British Wave Tour dates and how to get involved and take part!
I would like to say a huge thanks to our hosts at Funsport and the Beach Cafe and guest judges ‘Bucky Funsport’, Steve Laddiman' and 'Ben Page' as well as the Bangor uni students that will be helping us to run this competition across the stormy weekend!
