News Adams 2007 Headworx English Champion

Epic climax to the English Nationals by Kirsty Spencer

09/05/2007:// Day three was an epic climax to the Headworx English Nationals. With the swell increasing overnight, the men�s open kicked off in six to eight foot conditions, with the other divisions moved to nearby Tolcarne. The surf was challenging, forcing the UK�s best riders to dig deep in their quest for the Headworx English crown. Several of the top contenders were eliminated early on with Alan Stokes, Matt Capel and Johnny Fryer all coming unstuck in the choppy conditions. Sam Lamiroy the British Champion even snapped his board on his second wave, leaving him unable to continue his challenge for a double national title.

In Round Two, Newquay�s Gareth Llewellyn suffered an exhausting battle with the elements when his board broke free over the rocks. After swimming ashore to collect his board he faced a harsh paddle out back with no leash to keep his board attached.

Last year�s winner, Joss Ash was also knocked out in Round Two during a competitive heat against Gareth Llewellyn, Richie Mullins and Andrew Griffin. Although Joss scored an impressive 11.63 overall, it was not enough to take him through to the quarter finals.

Richy, along with Headworx rider Reubin Pearce, Mitch Corbett and Ollie Adams were the stand-outs of the day, constantly impressing the judges with some gutsy surfing as they ripped apart the stormy overhead waves in front of an awed crowd on the beach.
