UK Pro Surf Tour – Saltrock Open, Croyde
Posted: 3 months ago
So we’ve just got back from the Saltrock Open in Croyde filming the
Junior event for Hollaboxx. Sick weekend and despite the rubbish waves Russell
Winter was crowned the 2010 saltrock open champion the second stop on the UK
Pro Surf Tour.
The competition took place at the southern end of the beach locally
known as down end. Over the weekend the Groundswell/ Hollaboxx team set up a
tent for the competitors to chill out and relax in between heats, whether it was
carrying on the competitive spirit on the Wii, or dance offs to the dj’s
banging music. Meanwhile the groms and pro juniors still had there surf heads
on and showed some serious surfing in the tough conditions.
The next day the conditions picked up and became more enthusiastic for
the competitors which really showed in the water.
The final day of the event was held in 2-3ft waves for mens open event
and where the surfing really turned on.
With the likes of Russ Winter, Sam Lamiroy, Angelo Bonomelli and Reubyn
Pearce making the final there were
a couple of stand outs amongst them including, Alan Stokes, Oli Adams, and Tom Butler.
Overall a great fun and surf filed weekend with some outstanding
performances in all categories and age groups and a sick atmosphere. Cheers
everyone involved, see you at the next event and check out all the footage on Hollaboxx TV.
