The Porthmeor Longboard Classic – long held as a jewel in the crown of Cornish tourism, Porthmeor Beach provides one of the most scenic backdrops to any contest. A relative newcomer on the BLU Tour calendar, the golden sands and azure blue waters of St Ives have delivered small, clean and contestable waves that have tickled the fancy of the more traditional longboard style masters and served up more noserides per hour than any other event to date. Don’t be fooled by the relaxed, summery vibe of this contest – come winter Porthmeor can handle big swell with the best of them and has been the proving ground for some of the UK’s finest surfers. Rapidly becoming a firm favourite of the tour.
