Last Sunday dawned bright and sunny, a pleasant contrast to the weather for the World Bellyboard Championships in years past. The champs is one of our favourite events to attend; a last hurrah for summer and an opportunity to thumb our noses at the oncoming cooler weather of autumn by spending one last day in the sea without the need for a wetsuit. This year (now it’s 12th) the event was busier and better than ever, with entries fully booked weeks in advance and a queue snaking across the car park when the registration tent opened at 8.30 am, despite the forecast for very small waves.
