THE SUNSET SURF CLASSIC 6th & 7th JUNE 2009 TO BE HELD AT GWITHIAN BEACH IN CORNWALL

The British Stand Up Paddle Association (BSUPA) is pleased to announce the entry forms for the Second Round of the 2009 Series at Gwithian Beach near St Ives, Cornwall are now online. The Competition is to be held on the weekend of 6th and 7th of June hosted by Sunset Surf.

We will be running a SUP Surfing Contest (providing the waves are good enough). Regardless of waves an SUP Distance race will be held for all categories (men’s, women’s and juniors) There is a max board length of 12’6” on all BSUPA distance events held this year. Results for both the Surf and Distance events will go towards the final 2009 Championship. A series of short sprint races may be run for fun if time allows. This format was trialed for the first time at West Wittering. It was a lot of fun for both spectators and those taking part.

You can now enter online by following the link below or print out the entry form and send it with a cheque payable to BSUPA to, BSUPA. 208 Whyke Road, Chichester. PO19 7AQ. Please be sure to enter in advance as there will be a £5 admin cost for anyone entering on the day. All entrants must as always be paid up members of BSUPA. As with the West Wittering event, BSUPA are offering 2 weeks competition membership for £10 for those not wanting to become full members. This must be done on the weekend of the competition so this will include the £5 handing fee. If after the competition you want to increase your membership to the full year, the £10 will be deducted from the membership cost.

The first event was a resounding success and enjoyed by all. Gwithian will continue the fun and good vibe which follows all BSUPA events. It is a stunning beach with good facilities for all the family. On the Saturday Night Sunset Surf Cafe will be hosting a party with food & pint or glass of wine for £6. For those people coming from further afield, we have details of a number of camp sites and B&B’s close by.
