TOP SURF SPOT LANDS PRESTIGIOUS POWERBOAT CONTEST!

By Zapcat Racing
Powerboats and Surf beaches do not usually mix, in the case of Zapcat Racing you have twin hull inflatable boats which thrive in extreme conditions, originating as surf recue craft in the Southern Hemisphere.“In this current time of public sector cuts and an uncertain economy, one thing is guaranteed is that people want to be entertained and have things to look forward too, so it is down to resorts, councils and businesses to work together to bring wonderful events like Zapcat Racing to the town,” said Nick Webb, Events Manager for the International Surf Centre.

“Saying that, we have worked very closely with the Town Council and the RNLI ensuring correct safety levels and dates to suit all and I look forward now to promoting the event over the next couple of months as well as securing additional sponsors and booking the evening entertainment, May 7th & 8th will come very quickly, I am looking forward to watching the exhilarating racing from the comfort of and perfect viewing gallery of the beach bar!”

“Many events go on in Newquay, in particular at Fistral Beach that don’t hit the Surf Magazine headlines and the facilities here at the International Surf Centre lend themselves to that diversity, whether a local Dog or Bridal Wear Show,  Charity Fundraiser,  Music Beach Party , or Arts Festival.”

“The Surf of Newquay has always been one of the most thrilling events of the Zapcat Racing calendar, and we have always wanted to build on this event, the Fistral venue offers far greater potential to do just that and in May 2011 we are aiming to add an evening event, to really add to the beach party atmosphere, fun for all the family and hopefully some of the Irish teams will join us in October.”
 

“We certainly see these two dates building over the next three years with plenty of opportunities for other companies to support or become directly associated with the event,” said Martin Jupp, Events Director for Zapcat Racing.

Dates for 2011 are Saturday 7 & Sunday 8 May and Friday 30 September & Saturday 1 October

Newquay over the last 10 years has been the destination and ultimate challenge for all top Zapcat teams, so it is with great pleasure that we can announce the International Surf Centre at Fistral Beach, will exclusively host and co-sponsor the Zapcat National Surf Championships in Cornwall for the next three years.
 
With at least two weekend race events each year in early May and October, visitors to Fistral Beach will see some of the most extreme action, the Zapcat race series has to offer!“The two free to view events we held last year at Fistral were very well received by both residents and visitors to Newquay, including  many of the Zapcat travelling supporters, proving to be a very popular attraction for all ages; certainly helping the owners of the International Surf Centre to make the very decisive move to support the series over the next three years and to turn it into a bigger and regular event for all to get involved with.”
