news release
    28th August 2003

After only being able to run a few categories due to lack of waves on the weekend of the 8/9/10th August The SAS Ripcurl Cornish and Open surfing competition finally got to continue over the bank holiday weekend despite thick sea fog postponing the heats on Saturday. On Sunday the Surfers took to the water in disappointing 2ft offshore conditions. This did not stop some outstanding performances from all categories with Tom Butler winning a triple - the Youths, Cadets and Juniors.

James Hendy in action

Jake Boex winning the Open and £250 cash, followed very closely by local Sean Skippy Skilton - who won the Jimmy Mavor cup for highest placed local. The longboard saw Ben Skinner beat the defending champion Sam Bleakley. The ladies was won by Laura Hellyer form North Devon.

The SAS Lifetime achievement award went to Minnow Green who was ecstatic to receive the award for all his support and hard work that he puts in to help SAS.
