The Suitcase Surfers are currently hitting it up in Europe. They are on a break at present but they report in on the first two events with frustration. Extract taken from their website.
Newquay and Lacanau were both failures when it came to results this year. When you compare it to last year especially. Myself placing second in Newquay and Rick placing 3rd in Lacanau. All 3 of us failed to pass the second round in either event.
