2009 Girl Jam Bodyboarding
This summer heralds the birth of Girl Jam – the UK’s first all-female bodyboarding event aimed at bringing girls together from across the country to surf and share their skills.
The event is open to EVERYONE, whether you are ripping it up around the globe or just want to try something new.
The event is being held on July 12th at Fistral Beach, Newquay, Cornwall in association with Rob Barbers Bodyboard School (www.robbarber.com – 01637 879 571 ) and supported by Three Sixty Magazine (www.orcasurf.co.uk/threesixty) – starting at 10am, meeting at the Carnmarth Hotel.
We are actively seeking more sponsorship and funding for the event.
There is loads of great stuff lined up for the day – a morning coaching session to kick the day with our event photographer and videographer with a video analysis session afterwards.
After lunch and beach games (volleyball anyone?) it’s back in the water for a free-surf, all finished up with a great BBQ and bodyboarding DVD’s. There will also be goody bags and prizes for those involved.
The cost for the event is £20 (normal price: £40) – this includes a 2 hour bodyboarding lesson with professional and qualified coaches, wetsuit and kit for the day, changing and storage facilities, goody bag, video analysis session and event DVD.

For those with their own equipment and not wanting to take part in the coaching session, come along for the afternoon beach games, free-surf and BBQ!At no cost to you!

What more can I say hot birds who rip. Music is a little dodgey!!

Article sourced from http://ukbodyboarding.blogspot.com/ and includes information on new committee members, provisional competitions, information on Boscombe reef and new sponsors.
The BBC is pleased to announce that two members have been provisionally co-opted to the managing committee. Alex Ledbrooke joins as Treasurer, to take over from the outgoing Rob Muscutt (who remains on the committee in a non-portfolio capacity). Sam Perry joins to strengthen the competition organisation team. Both will stand to have their positions ratified at the next AGM.

Most members will know Sam and/or Alex, and both bring a wealth of bodyboarding experience and enthusiasm to the committee.

Provisional Competition schedule

The finishing touches are just being put to the 2009-2010 BB competition schedule. Subject to confirmation the outline is:

25 July: Corona/Kahuna/Overhead Wedge Air Jam – Tolcarne, Newquay
5-6 September: Auto-Sleepers British Nationals – Porthtowan
10-11 October: Nationals fall-back date
7-8 November: Anglo-French Challenge – Quiberon, Brittany.
TBA: Smackheads invitational
TBA: English Nationals
TBA: Boscombe Reef inaugural event – Bournemouth

British bodyboarding continues to buck the trends with new sponsors, new venues and new competitions. Auto-Sleepers have signed up again to back the Nationals, which will see the same bumper prize purse as in 2008; culminating with a £1,000 first place prize in the Open. Applications for Divisional sponsorships have recently been released.

2009 will also see the welcome return of the Tolcarne Wedge comp; with new sponsors Corona (the beer company) teeming up with Kahuna to provide the party atmosphere, and Overhead continuing their competition support.

The two new events are the Anglo-French challenge and the Smackheads invitational. The Anglo-French competition was the brainchild of Olivier Etchebers of the FSA and Rich Hall of the BBC. It will see the top 4 riders from each country pitched against each other for individual and National pride. Will the spirit of Agincourt or 1066 prevail? Only time will tell. The Smackheads invitational is on the down-low with much work yet to be done, but look out for some potentially spectacular slab action. The date for the English Nationals is yet to be set, but may be moved to a new venue.

With construction of the Boscombe reef due to complete in September, and the BBC will be involved with the inaugural event. This will be a chance for the strong contingent of Bournemouth boogers to pit their skills against the rest of the UK on their own turf.
