Your chance to tweak your longboard style with Animal Rider Elliot Dudley!

Two-time European Champion Elliot Dudley will be on hand to tweak your style at this years first Animal Surf Academy in Cornwall. The Academy will be holding an ASA Longboard Weekend on 22nd and 23rd September in Newquay and Polzeath, with Elliot on-hand to give you tips from nose-riding to cross stepping or walking the board.

You’ll have the chance to try out different styles of longboards to help you find which one best suits you, plus take part in a beach picnic and discussion session where you can chat and discuss style tips with Elliot. All attendees will also take home a free Animal goodie bag!

Starboard UK are also offering surfing fanatics the extra highlight of a stand-up paddle surfing demo. Those who attend the ASA Longboard Day will be able to find out more about one of the original forms of surfing, which dates back to the Polynesian forefathers who first took to the waves and were documented by Captain Cook in the Eighteenth Century. Surfers will be given the opportunity to try out the boards on the day.
