The highlight of the UK surfing calendar is Europe's biggest surf, skate and music festival. It brings world class surfing to Newquay, along with seven nights of music and skateboarding on Fistral Beach. The 5 Star world qualifying is the pick of the week with some of the worlds best surfers competing for over $100,000 in prize money. The Vans Summer Sessions is the skate equivalent with a total prize purse of $20,000.

A one day family friendly beach festival to benefit the charity Surf Relief UK. This event really has it all: a pro-surfing competition, lifesaving tournament, beach games, family activities, all rounded off with the Sunset Sessions, a live music festival taking place right on the sand.

Under the banner of authentic Aussie beach culture, burly men (and women) don speedos and singlets to pit themselves against the ocean. Teams of four, guided by their sweep (helmsperson), race their surfboats out through the breaking surf and all being well, catch a wave back in again.

Do you Surf a Longboard? Or maybe you want to jump on the bandwagon to see what all the fuss is about? Well he's your biggest and best opportunity yet.
