Clear your diaries w/e 29/30th October.

For those of you unfamiliar with Tynemouth, it's the North East's surfing Mecca and is home of surf legends the Davies Bros.
Just 7 miles away from Newcastle with a host of great restaurants, bars and accommodation it ticks all the boxes for the travelling paddle surfer.

The vampires, werewolves and zombies will be dragging themselves around the numerous taverns of Tynemouth Saturday evening before 'the hard core grave robbers' venture off into the Satan's Lair also affectionately known as Whitley Bay

All entry fees are payable in advance. In the event of unsuitable conditions we'll postpone the event until the next weekend with waves or we'll simply refund you. Can't say fairer than that right?

Mens / Ladies Race £10

Event Kit Hire £15 1 day / £25 2 days(insurance optional at £5/day)

Please send monies via Paypal to joe dot thwaites at boardskillz co uk providing your name and which event(s) you intend to enter and any kit requirements.

Insurance

There may be a additional nominal fee on the day just so that all competitors are covered to the satisfaction of our local council. This can be paid on the day and shouldn't be any more than £5-10.
