Britain’s finest surfers are getting ready to hit Fistral Beach, Newquay this weekend, for the first 6-star Men’s Open at the Nike 6.0 Night Surf, which is part of the UK Pro Surf Tour. With a solid 3ft to 4ft swell predicted for the competition, surfer’s skills will be tested over two days and nights, in a bid to win a share of the lucrative £15,000 prize purse.

Newquay’s own Russell Winter and three times winner of the event Alan Stokes will be fighting for first place alongside the Nike 6.0 trials winner, Johnny Fryer, Isle of Wight. Other confirmed riders include last years’ winner and former second in the world longboarder, Ben Skinner. Australia’s Amy Stewart is seen as the woman to beat, who will be up against the 2010 winner of the UK Pro Surf Tour Women’s Division, Gwen Spurlock.
