The upgrade has boosted the event up to one of the elite stops on the World Tour, with $145,000 in prize money; it is a fantastic thing for UK surf!
The Tuaca Longboard Pro will see the top longboarders in the world competing for the vital ratings points and the $15,000 prize money. Newquay resident and World Games Silver medalist Ben Skinner will be competing to keep the title in his home town, against some stiff international competition.

As ever, the festival attracts the biggest names in BMX and Skate from across Europe for the Vans Summer Sessions. On the vert, already confirmed high calibre riders include Joris Brichet, Andy Scott, Pete King and Sam Beckett whilst notable BMX riders including Markus Braumann, Ben Hennon, Tobias Wicke, Phil Aller, Jon Taylor, Zack Williams and Martyn Cooper.
A proud affiliation with Cool Earth and SAS this year bring together two large organisations who want to educate and offset the negative impacts of festivals like ours.
Cool Earth will protect an area of the Amazon larger than the festival site, and protecting a tree in the name of every artist performing at the event and in conjunction with VisitCornwall the event will be carbon proofed. Even more reason to come down and support such an amazing cause.
Along with Cool Earth, SAS Surfers Against Sewage is another partner for Relentless Energy Drink Boardmasters this year. They will be running their Beach Clean up every morning along with Vans where volunteers can go down early morning and help clean the beach, with the first ten people to register at the Sports Vision office each morning awarded a Vans Beach Clean Up pack.
