Taking place as ever in early September, this years world title race will be held on Sunday 8th September 2013. From North Coast to North Shore, Stippy Stappy to Padang Padang, Peterville to Pipeline, Rocky Lane to Rocky Point you are invited to join us in our celebration of riding traditional wooden boards.
Organised and hosted by the National Trust the event has become a pilgrimage for ply riding enthusiasts. Bill Makin, National Trust Head Ranger who looks after this stunning north coast location says "We are delighted to once again welcome visitors to take part in this unique event at one of the most beautiful beaches in Cornwall (and therefore the world!). The Trust’s sensitive management of Chapel Porth for over 50 years has allowed it to retain the raw unspoilt beauty that has attracted ply riders since the early days of the sport. Our Mid Cornwall team, based in St.Agnes, will once again be pulling out all the stops to make this small part of Cornwall the centre of the bellyboarding world on 8th September 2013."
Special thanks to our lifelong sponsors Skinners Brewery……
Cheers !!
