News Welsh Nationals Win


Lloyd Cole causes a commotion by George Mojo

 28/05/2005:// An on-song Lloyd Cole marked a return to competition by winning the Welsh national open title.

Cole has spent the last few years concentrating on freesurfing, but at Freshwater West pulled out all the stops to win the final.

The British team surfer defeated Nick Reid - who finished in third place last year - Isaac Kibblewhite and Mark Vaughan.

Vaughan's performance was as impressive as Cole's having been out with an knee injury for the past eight months. It didn't hold him back as he went on to win the senior final.

A huge air during the semi's won Cole the Cobian's best manoeuvre award.

Over a hundred and twenty competitors battled it out for 14 national titles is surf ranging from two to four feet at the Pembrokeshire beachbreak.

Thirteen-year-old Gwen Spurlock was in great form taking the Youth Under 14
title from the boys before winning the overall women's crown.

Swansea's Beth Mason also put in a classy performance adding the Girl's Under 18 title to her British girls' crown.

Glenn Welsh, from Llantwit Major, took the Cadets while Aberavon's Dan Harris retained his Longboard trophy.

Llantwit's Craig Bright made sure of the Junior title beating off a strong challenge from defending champion Harry Cromwell.

Simon Blower, from Swansea, won the Masters division. Gemma Harris is the Welsh Women's Bodyboard champion with Mark 'Splinter' Griffiths retaining the Bodyboard Open title that he has won countless times. Louis Welsh took the Junior trophy.
