Devon’s pro surfers are looking forward to a new season on the UK Pro Surf Tour, which this year promises to be bigger and better.
The tour kicks off in Croyde this Easter and will be followed by contents across the country from Events from Thurso East at the top of Scotland to the tip of Cornwall.
The tour will raise competition to a higher level pushing the surfers’ skills to the limit. The tour will raise not just the profile of the individual surfers but also the venues for the events.
With the inclusion of Men’s, Women’s, Pro Junior and Grommet divisions the tour will help encourage the development of competitive surfing across the UK
This year sees the formation of the UK Pro Surf Association, registered through company house, to provide a non-profit, democratic organisation to govern the tour.
Chairman of UK Pro Surf Association, John Owen said: “Forming this association is an important step to help the growth of the tour. Surfers will now have the opportunity to help control the direction the tour will take.”
