Northcore East coast drift 08 scores both snow and surf

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 25 March, 2008 : - - This Easter morning of the Northcore East coast Drift surf competition saw some areas of the UK East coast covered in over 4 inches of fresh powder so a snowboard competition could have been an alternative if the swell hadn't shown as forecast.

Fortunately the waves did arrive and there was a strong turnout with surfers competing from Tyneside, Scarborough and Lincolnshire at Scarborough's South bay which held a cleanish 2-4ft swell with strengthening cold NW winds making conditions more challenging as the day progressed.

With 35 surfers competing there were Junior, shortboard, longboard and veterans division heats held throughout the day between 10am and 4pm, with the finals held in difficult high tide waves influenced by a heavy seawall backwash which competitors tackled head on.

All the final winners were from Scarborough with the winner of the Juniors, James (Riv) Kirk, the Veterans winner was Ian (stix) Kirk with Mark (grom) Dickinson winning both the shortboard and Longboard open, receiving a Northcore shortboard as first prize.
