Our friends at Christian Surfers organise some epic comps each year. We’re stoked to share news of their longboard classic event! Get invovled!
Christian Surfers UK is very excited to be welcoming the longboard community to the 15th Jesus Longboard Classic, which will be held at its usual venue of Tubestation and using the beach at Polzeath.
However, this year sees a bit of a change: for a number of reasons the event will be held over the weekend of 22-23 April, rather than in the late autumn, reserve date will be May 20th & 21st..
Last year’s event was held in some fantastic surf with quality longboarding throughout and an entry field approaching 90, and CSUK can’t wait to welcome the community back for another epic event.
The Jesus Longboard Classic is a great contest for both those who have not entered a competition before, as well as those seasoned contest surfers. The event has a well-deserved reputation for its friendly atmosphere and relaxed vibe, as well as the later rounds being highly competitive, which always see entries from many of the top UK longboarders in all categories.
The aim is to open the booking portal in early March for entries in the following categories (age is calculated as on 1 January 2023):
Legends 60+
Grandmasters 50+
Masters (35+)
Juniors (Under 18)
Men’s Open
Women’s Open
Due to the ongoing popularity of the event, entries are limited and early booking is strongly advised.
Christian Surfers UK is very pleased that, although not forming part of their contest series, the event is being endorsed by the British Longboard Union (BLU).
A big thank you to all the sponsors and supporters who have helped make this exciting event happen over the years: Cornwall Council, Tubestation, Finisterre, Christian Surfers, Nineplus, Old Guys Rule, 10 Oversurf, Era Water Safety and Beagle Media, and also to those new sponsors who stepped in last year: Kosin, Log Fin Co, and Ocean Frog.
Additional sponsors are also welcome to join this great list, so if interested please contact Phil phil@christiansurfers.co.uk
