Newquay has barely had time to recover from the Rip Curl Boardmasters at the start of this month before another surfing giant hits Fistral Beach with a hot new surf contest. Organised with the British Surfing Association and inspired by Spencer Hargraves of the Quiksilver Surf School, Newquay, the Quiksilver Skins competition lands at Fistral on the August Bank Holiday weekend. With a prize purse of £700 and a classic Gibson guitar up for grabs, the competition’s fresh format will see 32 surfers compete one on one until there’s only one man standing. Some of the UK’s best pro’s are already signed up to what will be a lighthearted yet highly competitive contest. Fistral Beach will be bustling with other stuff too including St Tropez Beach Tanning Cabanas (for that healthy surfer glow!) and The Gibson Guitar Tour Bus (with impromptu gigs tipped for the whole weekend – keep a close watch!). UK Roxy surfers Sophie Hellyer, Candice O'Donnell, Holly Donnelly & Amy May Garvey will also be on hand scouting for female surfing talent throughout the event, and giving demos. Give stand up paddle a whirl with Starboard and Roxy and the help of Quiksilver legends Grishka Roberts and Spencer Hargraves.
