05 British Bodyboard Championship Results

We reported before on the 2005 British Bodyboard Championships originally meant to take place at Fistral Beach, and now we’re back with the results.

The fight for the £1000 prize was served well by excellent waves, which reached a stormy 6ft at one point but were still very contestable. The open Final took place in Tolcarne Bay where the riders could catch up to 15 waves in the 25 minute heats. The weather forced the event to be moved to Tolcarne Bay, which proved to be an excellent decision.

Bjorn Storey shot into the lead right from the start, with a 9.6/10 from all the judges on the first wave, with a full combination of moves on his second wave getting him a similarly high score. He held his lead right until the end, and picked up his first place £500 cheque. Lew Smart went away with second, Damien Prisk beat Phelps to the third place, and Phelps got fourth.
