[Winter is setting his sights on WCT qualification]
Cornwall's rider will be missing from the line up
by George Mojo
11/09/2006:// The British team for this year's World Surfing Games has been announced but Cornwall's Russell Winter will be missing from the line-up.
Winter, the only Briton to compete on the prestigious World Championship Tour circuit, is unavailable for the Californian contest next month.
The 31-year-old, winner of the Highland Open in Scotland earlier this year, is committed to the Brazilian and Hawaiian legs of the World Qualifying Series.
Winter is pushing hard for a place in the top flight next season, alongside the likes of Kelly Slater, Taj Burrow and Mark Occhilupo. Vital ranking points are up for grabs in both countries.
Fellow Cornish-based surfers Alan Stokes, Mark Harris and Sam Lamiroy, along with the Isle of Wight's Johnny Fryer are included in the GB squad competing at Huntingdon Beach in October.
The Freespirit GB team is one of 35 nations taking part in the bi-annual contest which has attracted 350 competitors.
The team, picked by the British Surfing Association, is aiming to better its 10th-place finish at the last Games two years ago in Ecaudor, in South America.
Selectors hope that with surfing growing massively year-on-year as a mainstream UK sport, 2006 could see the GB team consolidate Britain’s presence as a key surfing nation at the Games, widely regarded as surfing’s equivalent to the Olympics.
