We had seven competitors ranging from U14 through to Open compete in the first event held at Southport so it would be great if we could get higher numbers for this, the last event in the series.

This event is open to all male and female U13/14/15 (board only) and U17/19/Open/Masters (board and ski) competitors.

If total numbers competing across all clubs are sufficient the aim is to have 3 races per age group per discipline.
