Polzeath, Cornwall, UK: the Jesus Longboard Classic – news & entry

News from contest director Phil Williams:

The entry portal to the very popular 16th Jesus Longboard Classic is now open and organiser Christian Surfers UK is very excited to be welcoming the longboard community to the event’s usual venue of Tubestation and using the beach at Polzeath. 

This year we have continued with our earlier date in April after last year’s success, as it gives the potential of warmer weather whilst still having the potential of great surf.

Last year's event was held in some great surf with quality longboarding throughout and an entry field approaching 90, and CSUK 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, with previous winners including surfers such as Emily Currie, and Ben Skinner.

The event features the following categories (age is calculated as on 1 January 2024):

Legends 60+

Grandmasters 50+

Masters 35+

Juniors Under 18

Men’s Open

Women’s Open

Due to the ongoing popularity of the event, entries are limited to two categories per entrant and early booking is strongly advised.

All entries include a free T-shirt and some hospitality at Tubestation during the course of the weekend. We are currently trialling out a new entry portal and so if you are entering a second category you will get your £3 reduction on the day.

Christian Surfers UK is 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 the sponsors and supporters who have committed for this year: Cornwall Council, Tubestation, Finisterre, Christian Surfers UK, Era Adventures, George’s Surf School, Kosin, Ocean Frog , 10 Over Surf Shop and also a very big welcome to new sponsors Surf’s Up! and Wavehunters. 

Additional sponsors are also welcome to join this great list, so if interested please contact Phil
