UPDATE! Comp rescheduled to 11/12 October.

CONTEST UPDATE - Due to extremely strong winds and poor swell forecast we have decided to postpone the contest to the following weekend (11th & 12th October). With the winds forecast for 50mph gusts the infrastructure which will be put up would not be safe. Your entry will automatically be moved to the following weekend or a refund can be issued if you can’t make the following weekend - Please email [email protected]. The forecast is currently looking great for the 11th & 12th 🤞 entries will stay open until 8th October 🤙
