As the Channel Islands Junior team return from Japan, the Senior Team head off for the Senior European Surfing Championships to be held at Bore Beach, Norway from 7th Oct-16th Oct.
The team itself has a blend of experience and youth with all surfers having competed at European, British National and International level.
This is a new location for the Europeans but the team are excited and ready to face whatever is put in front of them. With the increased activity of the Northern Atlantic over the last week the team should expect some decent surf.
