Organiser Christian Surfers UK is very excited to be welcoming the longboard community to the 14th Jesus Longboard Classic, which will be held over the weekend of October 1 – 2 based at its usual venue of Tubestation and using the beach at Polzeath.
Last year’s event was held in some fantastic surf with quality longboarding throughout and we can’t wait to welcome the community back for another epic event.
The Jesus Longboard Classic is a great contest for both those who have not entered a competition before, as well as those seasoned contest surfers. The event has a well-deserved reputation for its friendly atmosphere and relaxed vibe, as well as the later rounds being highly competitive.
The event has always attracted some of the top longboard surfers in the UK, with previous winners including Ben Skinner, Ben Howarth, Ben Howey, Beth Leighfield and Emily Currie.
Due to the ongoing popularity of the event entries are limited, so for all those keen to enter we would advise surfers to get their entries in as soon as possible to avoid disappointment, the portal is now open, so to enter follow the link www.christiansurfers.co.uk/register/jlc22
All the various elements that go along with this contest, the great vibe, hospitality in the Tubestation and exciting surfing will all be there again.
With the Jesus Surf Classic growing every year Christian Surfers took the decision 14 years ago to give the longboard community their own dedicated event. This was done to enlarge the entry numbers and increase the number of categories being contested, as well as to give the competitive longboard community a more focused stage to highlight the progression of UK longboarding.
Deadline for entries will be 26 September, unless there is space available in the surfer’s chosen category.
We are also very pleased that although not forming part of their contest series, the event is being endorsed by the British Longboard Union (BLU).
A big thank you to all our sponsors and supporters who helped make this exciting event happen historically– including Cornwall Council, Tubestation, Finisterre, Christian Surfers, Nineplus, Old Guys Rule, Era water safety and Beagle Media. For 2022 we will be shortly announcing some new sponsors in addition to this great list.
The Jesus Longboard Classic includes a variety of longboard styles and ages including our very popular Legends (60+) division, and this will be restricted to a maximum of eight surfers – first come, first served. In addition, we will also be holding the following categories: Grand Masters (50+), Masters (35+), Juniors (U18), Men’s Open and Women’s Open. Entry includes a free competition T-shirt, your age criteria for each category are based on your age on 1st January 2022.
