Micah Lester aims to light up event
by George Mojo
07/06/2006:// Defending Open champion Micah Lester will aim to light up the third leg of the British Professional Surfers Association Tour at Lusty Glaze Beach next weekend.
The Fat Face Night Surf will run from 16-18th June at Newquay's Lusty Glaze Beach and will feature four divisions. The Open event has a 2 Star rating, offering £3000 with the title.
The Women's division is a 1 Star event with a £500 purse held by Nicole Morgan, the Longboard Open is also a 1 Star event held by Lee Ryan, who last year also won the Freerange Money Move for Best Floater, the only time in 2 years that a longboarder has won a Freerange Money Move and £250.
On day two, there will be the Fat Face Grom Challenge, a new addition the event.
Lusty Glaze, situated 10 minutes north of Fistral, is self sufficient with all facilities available and surrounded by 200ft cliffs, creating a natural amphitheatre to watch the action. Lusty Glaze is described as a regional classic wedgy beach break with left and right hand breaks on offer.
The BPSA Tour has had a great start this year with the Croyde event and then some epic conditions at Thurso East.
After two podium finishes Spencer Hargraves is leading the tour followed by Croyde winner Toby Atkins. Both of these surfers will be looking for a good result at this event to keep up their title chances while all the other BPSA contenders will be aiming for a big result to push them back into contention. However there is a long way to go and it's looking like a very interesting tour.
Aside from the surfing, Fat Face, in conjunction with Foster's and FSO will be throwing a party on Saturday night at Lusty Glaze fuelled with Foster's Barbie and beers, live music and fireworks. The party is a regular fixture in the Newquay calendar so make sure you get there early as it's going to be busy!
The Fat Face Night Surf is the second stop of the Fat Face Night Series 2006. The other night events are Skiing, Mountain Biking, Mountain Boarding, Water-ski Jumping, and Windsurfing.
Ian Williams of Fat Face said "The whole of the Night Series is based on the success of the original event, the Fat Face Night Surf now in its 6th year and we are looking forward to an incredible weekend of surfing and party!"
Dave Reed of the BPSA said "It's great to have continued support from the likes of Fat Face. They are actually putting something back into the scene and that is what this tour needs."
