The Saltrock Open has been rescheduled for the August Bank Holiday weekend.
With the massive flat spell we’ve had recently and no sign of decent swell on the horizon the call’s been made to move the contest back to give everyone the chance of a bit of water time before competing. At the moment the classes will be Pro Junior, U18 Girls U16 Boys U12 Open & hopefully U18 boys.
The call will be made whether a Men’s and Women’s Open will be included closer to the date.
The Junior event will be the final event for qualification of the English team to the European Junior Surf Championships to be held in France the following month. It will also be part of the rankings for Surfing GB Junior Squad.
New designs for high summer
I’ve just seen some of the high summer designs coming through over the next couple of months and I have to say, wow! The prints are incredible, featuring both surf and coastal imagery, loads of naive art and hand sketches, and the colourways are stunning.
The inspiration of ‘Water and Waves’ features strongly in the mens collection, with loads of soft, stylish prints on a mellow palette of slate blue, tidal foam and pewter and a nod to the stripy nautical across polos, sweats, hoodies and tees. Design is strong with some great use of fading, vintage washes and dyes, and tonal prints.
In the women’s collection are loads of gorgeous vests, tops, tees and dresses in some lovely shapes and styles, celebrating femininity combined with a love of the sea and thirst for adventure. Cheeky and confident, it’s full of colours that flatter and shapes that fit. Designs are imaginative and highly evocative and the colour palette is kept fresh and self-assured.
It looks like the sun is going to shine on the high summer range at Saltrock!
