Nike 6.0 Night Surf

The big Nike 6.0 Night Surf event takes place tomorrow and Saturday, it'd be wrong not to go along and take a look so that's exactly what I'll be up to tomorrow!

Here is the official press release with the info....sounds good huh?

Held on Newquay’s world-renowned Fistral Beach break, surfers across all disciplines will compete over two days and nights, in a bid to win a share of the lucrative £15,000 prize purse.

The 28 pre-qualified riders in the Men’s event will be joined by an additional 4 wild cards after Friday’s surf-off heats. The final 32 will then battle it out for a cut of the £8,000 fund in the Open division, the largest ever on the UK Pro Surf Tour. The event will also encompass Women’s Open, Longboard, Pro Junior, U-16 Boys, U-16 Girls and U-12 divisions.

While competitors battle it out in the water, spectators will have a great time on the beach where they can soak up the action first-hand or take it in on the large LCD screen. Various experiences will also be available on the action-packed coastline, including an energetic live performance from the hotly-tipped San Franciscan newcomer, Hanni El Khatib, whose track ‘I Got A Thing’ features on the Nike’s latest ‘Just Do It’ TV advert.

Although it’s a full-on weekend there is still time to host the UK leg of the Nike 6.0 ‘Cash for Tricks’ tour, a 5-stop European series that awards cash for the most innovative surfing. With a line-up of some of the most progressive riders from around Europe, the future of the sport will be on display with another £10,000 prize money on offer to those who really push the boundaries of what’s possible in UK water.
