Windblown and Out


In local surfing news the South to South Frostbite Junior Series has been postponed intil Febuary 16th.

'Organisers were forced to postpone the second leg of the South to South Frostbite Junior Series because of windblown surf conditions on Cornwall's north coast. Two Cornish surfers were hoping to consolidate their lead.
The contest had been due to take place at Portreath but will now be held on 16 February, surf permitting, at either the North Cornish beachbreak or at Praa Sands.
The Frostbite Series is organised by top surfing coach Tyson Greeaway and is being held over three contests with a grand final being staged at a yet to be decided vanue in March.
Newquay's Jack Butler heads the U16's division after winning the first event at Godrevy.
Marcus Lascelles is leading the U18 section.
Butler, a British junior team member, excelled in the first event busting big manoeuvres to stamp his early mark on the mini-tour.
Morgan Bushe, from St Agnes, finished in second spot in the final and will be looking to avenge his defeat at Portreath.
George Picking from Newquay and Bert Wright from Penzance both showed great touches in the surf last time and their style is well suited to the North Cornish beachbreak conditions.
Lascelles, who defeated fellow Newquay surfer Tom Butler in the U18s last time by just one point, will have to work hard to maintain his ratings lead.
Croyde's Lydon Wake is among those aiming to topple the Cornish domiation at the top of the leaderboard when the contest returns in mid February 2008'-Cornwall Surf News
