We are stoked to call this weeks’ 2023 Muscle Food English Para Surfing Open, ON.
Due to the conditions and a changing forecast, the contest will take place on either Thursday 21st or Friday 22nd September, at either Putsborough or Croyde. There’s definitely waves, so we’re doing all we can working with our lifeguards and Contest Director to make it happen!
If conditions allow, and we have a day free, we will facilitate some free surfing/coaching for those who wish to make the most of having coaches and volunteers on hand. However, our priority is finding the best waves in the forecast to complete the competition.
For those of you who are not familiar with Putsborough, please see an overview here: Putsborough Guide
Throughout the two days we have lots of awesome volunteers from Wave Project, Surfability UK CIC, our local Ministry of Defence, and more great organisations and surf schools on hand to help the athletes.
We are delighted to have surfers in all 9 para surfing divisions, and 30 surfers in the event, some who are competing for their first time, and we are excited to welcome into the para surfing community.
At all times, CG safety cover will have 3 trained lifeguards onsite to keep everyone safe in the water. The contest area will be marked with flags and spectators are welcome to the beach to watch the surfing unfold.
Live scoring of the event can be accessed via LiveHeats. The heat draw will be released ahead of the contest. The heat draw and schedule are always subject to change.
Competitor and volunteer schedules to follow when the location is locked in. Please be prepared for an 8/9am start on the beach.
