The Saltrock Open will now take place on Sunday24th and Monday 25^th May in order to take advantage of the better swell forecast for Sunday and Monday.

A good chart means a slight alteration in the event days as registration will now take place on the Sunday morning as opposed to the original Saturday start. Record numbers of crowds are expected in Croyde over the weekend to watch the truly exceptional talent lined up to ensure that this event opens the tour with a bang. The site at Downend will be buzzing with competitors as this years event has the highest number of entries for any UK Pro Tour event to date.

Organisers can now confirm that Kingofwatersports.com will be providing a top of the range skateboard for the highest scoring waves of men and women for the duration of the event. Relentless Energy drink will also continue their support of the event by providing £250 for the surfer who performs the biggest Aerial, last year won by Reubyn Ash of Bude

Christian Surfers will be onsite providing food for the competitors and raising awareness of Surf Relief UK and their mission to help disadvantaged and disabled children enjoy surfing. Water for riders and officials is kindly provided by Devon Hills and of course other refreshment again supplied by joint sponsor Relentless.

The change of date will mean that the official mid event celebration will take place on the Sunday night. A chance to chill in The Thatch Barn Inn with a 10% discount  for competitors and officials on all meals ordered.
