The Relentless Boardmasters 2010
Fistral Beach, the home of British surfing, is the venue for the 5 Star ASP World Qualifying Series surf event, the highlight of the Relentless Boardmasters. The World’s best surfers will arrive in Newquay to take part in the $120,000 event with the aim of taking the cash and even more importantly the points on offer that will catapult them into the “dream Tour” and a life of surf super stardom. Make no mistake, this is the only chance to see the World’s best in England. Fistral will also host the Relentless Aerial Assault whereby surfers are catapulted into waves via jetski offering speed to perform maneuvers never seen in standard contest surfing.
2009 Vans Summer session hosted the highest profile event to date with US heavy hitters Alex Perelson and Neal Hendrix making the trip across the pond to take part. While these guys are superstars of the sport it was no easy ride thanks to the European contingent highlighted by UK shredders Sam Beckett and Sam Bosworth. They will all be back again this year and with the progression levels of the two Sam’s expect some serious upsets!
While surfing is the roots of the Relentless Boardmasters it is certainly not the only sporting highlight. Vert skating has been a part of the festival for over 10 years and cements RBM as Europe’s leading event of its kind.
Set in possibly the UK’s most beautiful festival setting, the RBM Music festival takes place over two nights from 6-7th August on the cliff top at Watergate Bay. The festival, over its 4 years has witnessed some of the biggest acts to ever play the South West. Acts such as Razorlight, James Blunt, Feeder, Funeral For A Friend, Groove Armada, Pigeon Detectives and 2009 headliners The Streets and Cypress Hill have all taken over the main stage. This year Seasick Steve and Newton Faulkner join Leftfield as headliners for The Relentless Boardmasters in Association with Vans 2010.
Day tickets are just £35 while a weekend ticket is £60 or £80 with 2 nights of camping.
