British Surf Kayak Champs 2009 + Surf Kayak Awards

by Nathan Eades



Well it was quite a turn out, with paddlers coming from as far as Jersey, including World Champion Dave Speller. The waves we had hoped for turned up and all the hard work we put into the organisation of the event was rewarded with a little sunshine too! Competitors were provided with tea, coffee and biscuits from Sue and Colin Eades, and the panel of judges saved anybody needing to judge! The first and second rounds of the men, women, masters and juniors were finished by the end of Saturday with semi’s and finals planned for Sunday.

The first ever surf kayak awards took place in the evening where various prizes were won by well dressed surf kayakers before we all enjoyed some live music compliments of Julia Harris.

Categories and their winners:

Best Photograph- Rider and Most Consistent surfkayaker: Gary Adcock


Best Photograph- Photographer: Tim Harvey


Hottest Newcomer: Emma Wynter


Biggest Contribution to the sport: Malcolm from Mega


Media Hog: Nathan Eades


Biggest wipe-out at the British: Arron Layton


Sickest ride during day one of the British Champs: Andy Wildman

I had a great time at the surf kayak awards and hope everyone there did- I’m struggling to remember if people enjoyed as the alcohol consumed has taken it’s toll on my brain cells!! The sight of everybody all dressed up in dicky bows and ball dresses will stick in my mind for a long time!
Day two kicked off with a rainy miserable day and on shore conditions to match!! Surfing in these conditions we all had to work hard and some disappointments were inevitable; Dave Speller, Marc Holland, Sam Davenport, and Ben Thomas all left the running’s for the men’s Short boat at the semi’s.
The panel of judges wrapped up in their waterproofs and got on with what must have been a horrible day of judging, but I think we all agree did a fantastic Job!!

A massive thanks to the event sponsors: Lobster Bob, Nookie Kayaking Equipment, Airtime Kayaks, Canoe and Kayak, and Robson Paddles for putting such a big range of prizes together for the event!

Also a big thanks to Canoe Wales for sponsoring the British Championships this year!
