The ESP team captured the action as Newquay surfers dominated the final day of the Headworx English Surfing Nationals from Watergate Bay, with surfers from the town claiming over 10 of the 23 titles on offer.
Winning the prestigious Open division was 19 year old Tom Butler from Newquay, with defending champion Oli Adams second, and Headworx team riders Matt Capel and Reubin Pearce third and fourth respectively.
Another Newquay resident who had a good day on the beach was Lee Bartlett, who showed his competitive pedigree by winning two divisions. The former English and British champion took victories in the Senior (over 28) and Masters (over 35) divisions, taking his total number of English national titles to six. The winning junior surfers have also earned the right to represent England in the European Junior Surfing Championships which will be held in Morocco in November.
The Headworx English Nationals are run by the English Surfing Federation (ESF), a non-profit-making organisation dedicated to the support and development of English surfers. http://www.headworx.com The selection of images below was captured during the final day of the competition by ExeSight photographers Darren, Paul and Nathan.
