Get ready for Preston Skimboard Festival '09
Everyone who went last year agreed that Preston’s second Skim boarding Festival was excellent fun – Both for competitors and spectators! And, according to organisers Sandskater and The Boathouse, this year is going to be even better!
The Preston Skimboard Festival '09 will be held on the 15th and 16th of August at Preston Sands (by the boathouse), and everyone is getting really excited already.
By popular demand there will be four competitions sections:
- Under 8’s
- Under 11’s
- Under 16’s
- 16 and over

The competition ‘skims off’ at 11am on Saturday morning. All competitors need to have checked in with Matt (at the Sandskater tent on the beach, below the Boathouse) by 10am. Results of the heats will be announced on The Boathouse Terrace at 6pm with music from Olli Cardall playing Acoustic Indie. The finals will then be run on Sunday morning, again ‘skimming off’ at 11am. After no-doubt, tense and nail-biting finals, the prize-giving will take place on The Boathouse Terrace at 2pm, where-upon Paddy's Whiskers will be on hand to entertain everyone with Irish Folk Fiddle music. We have some great prizes for the winners in each section and all competitors go home with something!
During Saturday and Sunday there will also be a beachside BBQ and Bar, a beachside Sandskater Shop, and there will be hair-braiding, face-painting, pedal-boats and a Beach Volleyball court to play on. This has been funded by the Preston Community Partnership and the organisers would like to say a “big thanks” to Bob Brewis for all his help! |
