28/05/2005:// A fancy dress surf competition in South Devon has raised hundred of pounds for victims of the Asian earthquake.
At Bantham Beach, near Plymouth, the Christian Surfers city crew organised the inaugural 'Dawn to Dusk Fancy dress marathon contest'.
In bright sunshine 14 teams of four dressed in an amazingly imaginative array of costumes and surfed for one hour each.
The waves on the day were very small, but in their place, numerous games were played out in the shallows, including costume swapping.
The winners in each category were: Ed Bird for Best Individual Costume, The Wembury Boys, for Best Group Costumes, Lawrence Bird for Best Move On A Wave, The Flintstones for Most Number Of People On A Board, Miriam Ginnings for Best In Character Move and the Hula Boys And Girls For Best Efforts At Flat Day Fun.
The prize giving and a minutes silence, with a prayer for the Tsunami affected areas took place in the early evening, and amazingly through the entrants sponsorship, and cake and coffee cakes over £1,500 was raised.
A second Christian Surfers UK event took place in Windsor. The first ever Paddleathon ( Long distance surf board paddle ) was held on the river Thames between Maidenhead and Windsor.
The third of the events took place at Croyde Bay, in North Devon, Michael and Michelle Cotton opened up their home overlooking the Bay for the day.
After gaining support from many of the local surf shops they organised an auction in the afternoon, with a BBQ, cream teas and live music.
The sun shone and thanks to numerous helpers from Christian Surfers and the Croyde community over £1,200 was raised.
The money raised from these events will be presented to Tsunami Surf Relief UK, which Christian Surfers UK are fully backing.
Phil Williams, National Director of Christian Surfers said "It was brilliant to see so many people from these events working together to make a difference to peoples life's, a huge thanks must go to the surf community involved, as every pound raised will help"
