The Gul Night Surf

UK PST event #2
Fistral Beach, Cornwall
12 – 14 June 2009

The Night has arrived, the Gul Night Surf is this weekend and the surfs’ up!!! With only 3 weeks to organize the legendary event and save the night surf we have done it. The weather is looking good and the swell is on it’s way. The Gul Night Surf has attracted a world class line up, with Britain’s top surfer and Gul team rider Russell Winter back from the Maldives and looking forward to surfing his home break.

We would like to thank all our sponsors for making this happen, it was only 4 weeks ago that the night surf did not have an official sponsor. Gul stepped in to save the event with the help of many local company’s. They include: Britanic Industries, Fistral Blu, Anns Cottage, Beach Night Club and Custard Point Surfboards

Rob Harris of Anns Cottage comments “Its great to be sponsoring the Night Surf event, making sure it stays in Newquay” adding “Supporting this event helps to raise the profile of the sport, encouraging future development” Gul merchandise will be for sale in Anns Cottage at Fistral Beach or online annscottagesurf.co.uk

The event is centred around the Fistral surf complex which is the perfect place for developing the Gul Night Surf and establishing it for the coming years. “The Event has been organised in a very short time and I can’t thank enough everybody who has helped to organise the event.

The Fistral surf centre is such a great venue and with the new beach bar / café open we can really utilise everything the complex has to offer. We are looking forward to this weekend as it always attracts huge crowds” (Jake Patterson Gul Brand manager). In addition to the event the beach complex is offering free Night time (after 6pm) parking to local people through the Newquay Voice newspaper.

UK PST event #2

Fistral Beach, Cornwall
12 – 14 June 2009

Women’s and Junior’s events. Fistral Beach Newquay 12th/14th June 2009

The month of June sees the very first Gul night surf at Fistral beach and what a spectacular it is going to be. With Men’s Open, women’s Longboard, Grommet (U12 open, U16 boys and U16 Girls) and Stand up paddleboard. The event will be held at the British surf capital Fistral beach in Newquay on the 12th 13th and 14th of July.

Friday 12th of June see’s the start of the Women’s event which is going to be very exciting. The talent at the Saltrock Open was second to none, and the Gul Night surf is set to attract the same high level of female surfers. The UK Pro Surf Tour attracts female surfers from all over the world making a very exciting competition to watch.

The Gul night surf has already seen a huge number of entrants, you will see competitors that may not compete at other events, this is the attraction that Fistral beach has, being the UK’s best know surfing location. Here we have the best chance of picking up swell and producing world class waves for the weekend.

Gul’s Brand Manager Jake Patterson comments, “At Gul we are going to great lengths to support women’s surfing in the UK. Female surfers in the water have grown rapidly over the last 5 years and the standard is out of this world. We are fortunate that we sponsor one of the UK’s best surfing stars Beth Mason, she is a very powerful surfer and a great ambassador for Gul and female surfing.

This year Gul team Ambassador Celine Gerhert will also be competing and we see the debut year of the current university champion and Gul Ambassador Amy Brock-Morgan on the UK Pro Surf Tour. We are very excited to have this strong female team competing on the prestigious tour”

The Groms will start on the Sunday and it is going to be a very exciting showdown. The future British talent will battle it out for the title of the most exciting European surf event this year. With strong competition from young male and female competitors it is set to be a memorable event.

“The Standard of our young British surfers is higher than it’s ever been and the manoeuvres that some of these youngsters are doing are making the older more experience surfers eye’s water! With talent like this and the continued growth of surfing there will be more world class Brits over the next 10 years than we can

imagine. At Gul we have always been on the look out for the best new talent to help progress and nurture there skill, and supply them with top quality product. This year we are looking for new groms to sponsor and I am hopeful that we can sign some new talent over the Night surf weekend” (Jake Patterson Gul Brand Manager)
