SALTROCK IOW PRO - The sixth leg of the British Professional Surf Association (BPSA) UK Tour will take place from October 29-30, 2005 on the Isle of Wight with the Saltrock IOW Pro, Saltrocks second leg of the BPSA Tour. Saltrock have taken title sponsorship of this leg to continue their support of the UK scene having already put on the Saltrock Open at Croyde in March, which produced the best conditions of the tour so far. The Saltrock IOW Pro will take place on the west side of the Island and will be in conjunction with the Isle of Wight’s extreme festival, White Air. There has always been a surf event at Wight Air but this year the organizers have called upon the BPSA and Saltrock to step it up and bring the UK’s most talented surfers, including Saltrock team rider Micah Lester, to the Island. The main Saltrock BPSA contest site will be based at Freshwater Bay, a right-hand point that breaks over the reef on the west of the bay. Freshwater can produce some excellent waves and can hold anything up to 8ft. If the swell is slightly smaller the event can move down to one of the three breaks in Compton Bay, just south of Freshwater, which can fire even in small swells.

GOOD WORKS

VANS WARPED TOUR TEAMS WITH HABITAT FOR HUMANITY TO HELP VICTIMS OF HURRICANE KATRINA - Last Friday, the VANS WARPED TOUR® donated $300,000 to Habitat For Humanity. The donation will help build five new houses for Hurricane Katrina victims. VANS WARPED TOUR skaters and artists as well as members of the Vans and Warped Tour organization gathered together to help build a prefabricated home, load it onto a truck and ship it off to Louisiana where it will be given to a family in need. In addition, for the summer 2006 VANS WARPED TOUR trek, the tour will stop into areas affected by the hurricanes to assist communities with rebuilding homes. Due to the success of the VANS WARPED TOUR® this summer--over 680,000 tickets were sold--the tour was able to team up with Habitat for Humanity to make a difference. In the tour’s traditional grassroots fashion, the VANS WARPED TOUR® has continued not only to be successful, but to give back to the community by donating to charities worldwide. With cutting-edge musical artists, top athletes in the action sports world and a wide range of attractions, the VANS WARPED TOUR® has been instrumental in taking the punk-rock/skate/action sports subculture from the underground to the forefront of American youth culture. In addition, the VANS WARPED TOUR is reaching out through its community to empower youth to become more involved in helping hurricane charities. Fans can log onto www.warpedtour.com for direct links to multiple ways to help. To volunteer or donate to the work of habitat for Humanity in Los Angeles, go to www.habitatla.org.
