What's up

Boardmasters Surf Open | Day 4 at Boardmasters 2025 Longboard semi finalists and QS 2000 finalists were all confirmed on Day 4 of Boardmasters 2025. First to take to the water were the quarters of the LQS, with dominant performances by both last year's winner and runner-up, namely France's Edouard Del Pero and Cornwall's own Ben Skinner. Other standouts included the Reunion Island pair Ophelie Ah Kouen and Alice Lemoigne, as well as Devonian Emily Currie and the Italian teenager Ginger Caimi. For the QS 2000 heats, the high-tide crowd enjoyed a spectacle which included both Basque sisters Annette and Janire Gonzalez-Extabarri posting huge scores, along with former champ and double Olympian Yolanda Hopkins form Portugal. The Olympians continued the charge in the mens too, with Spain's Andy Criere shredding into the final along with compatriot Sean Gunning, where there will no doubt be further fireworks, as awaiting them there is the defending champ Lukas Skinner, who also advanced in blistering form. Finals Day looks set to be another cracker, with great conditions in the forecast.

Boardmasters Surf Open - Day 2 at Boardmasters 2025 Day 2 wrapped up at the Boardmasters Surf Open after no less than 32 heats in solid conditions at Fistral Beach. With a variable wind, and a consistent, long-period swell, the world’s best took to the water with spectacular flair. Standouts were again the local boy and defending 2024 champ Lukas Skinner, as well as Portuguese olympian Yolanda Hopkins. In the women’s event, British hopes were kept alive by Alys Barton, who held on to an advancing place after one of the most exciting heat finishes of the event so far. Elsewhere, among the international surfers, Spain’s Sean Gunning and France’s Sam Piter and Noa Ledee led the charge into the Round of 16 for the men’s, while Basque Country sisters Janire and Annette Gonzalez-Extabarri looked impressive in the women’s. With conditions set to keep firing throughout the week, all looks to be in place for another epic finish to both QS events this weekend!
