With a brand new trophy – the first in the classic surf comp’s 29 year history – and prize money boosted to $2000 the host North Coast Boardriders club is looking for a good turnout at this fun event.

The impressive trophy created by local nurseryman turned sculptor Guy Bowden is no lightweight. It is shaped from laminates of kauri, puriri and totara and sits on a solid rock base.

What is missing from the trophy is the list of previous winners. But club organizers are hoping that many of the gaps will be filled in by visiting raconteur surfers this weekend, so that all previous Polar Bear supremo’s can have their details added to the trophy.

Cancelled 8-9 due to lack of swell, running for 15-16th August! Phone 09 4343 774 for more info!

In addition to the glory there is $1000 up for grabs – courtesy of Schnappa Rock Café and Bar - in the open division and $200 for each of the other classes.
Then there are heaps of prizes from Whangarei’s Mega Surf, the Tutukaka Surf Company and Sanuk, plus a collectors item T shirt for all entrants

Nicko and Guy are the main sponsors this year, the 29th year of surfing at Sandy Bay.
