Borth Surf Contest
Details are still a little sketchy at the mo, but it looks as though Borth should be getting its act together and having a decent surf
contest sometime this year.
The eventwill be organised by Borth Surf Club and will be aimed at promoting the profile of the club and highlighting the positive
aspects of surfing at all levels.
I won't give away too much yet, but it looks as though there could be some pretty BIG prizes up for grabs too (including the
possibility of an amazing exotic surf trip as the main prize!!!). And don't worry, as far as I understand it the major prizes will be
awarded through a prize draw rather than according to actual positions within the contest. So, all entrants will have a chance of
winning whatever their level of surfing ability.
I'll let you know more details as soon as I know them.

anyone else of winning the trip to Indo!!!

I think thats the general plan, unless its absoultely perfect 3-4 foot peeling waves with an offshore wind, in which case the Golf
Course Car Park or somewhere around mid-beach might be better.

I found out yesterday from the 'Chairman' of the Borth Surf Club, that the competition has been cancelled because none of the memebrs
of the surf club (which I have nothing to do with BTW) didn't bother to organise anything..
It was nice if them to let people know. I've just checked their website and they are still advertising the surf contest there (as well
as still using some of my photos without having asked me!!!. Apparently the contest has been rescheduled for March, but I wouldn't
count on it!!
If you were planning on coming to Borth this weekend for the contest, then come along anyway as there will be quite a few members of
this site here playing on the beach, so there will be some people around.
