World Longboard Championships cut short
by George Mojo
15/06/2005:// The withdrawal of a major sponsor has led to cancellation of this season's ASP World Longboard Championships in France.
Nokia pulled out following corporate changes at the company.
The event had been due to run from July 10 to 17 featuring a men's division and for the first time at ASP level, introducing a women's section.
The tournament had been scheduled to be incorporated within the long running Biarritz Surfing Festival for the second year running.
Founder of the BSF, Robert Rabagny, informed ASP Europe of this untimely development, yet confirmed that the Biarritz Surfing Festival itself would run as scheduled,
ASP International has pledged its commitment to longboarding and will work towards re-establishing the World Longboard Championship in 2006.
