Newquay turns Urban

The countdown has started as we approach what should be the sunny month of August. Some will be ready to embark in a trip to take them miles away to what they can imagine seems paradise, but for a few paradise is closer than you think. From the 6th to the 12th paradise is located down at Newquay. The Rip Curl Boardmasters event lands on site on the 6th and will be making some noise with some of the best surfing England has seen in ages. Six days of the most thought provoking spectacles, with some of the best bands either playing down at the beach or at the weekend festival. But if that's not enough for some of you sceptics out there the Boardmasters hasn't run out of ideas and presents us with some skate: The Relentless tour, Vans vert and Eastpak mini ramp. If you still want more, maybe it's time you check the NUTS beach babes competition...only for the strong hearted.

Headlining this year at the festival we have Ash, Paolo Nutini, The Subways, Funeral for a Friend, Guillemots and plenty more to get you going. But the festival is just two days and Enter Shikari shall be opening the Beach sessions at Fistral for plenty more bands of the likes of The Pigeon Detectives or Deekline & Wizard.

So head down to Newquay to find the best surfers, the best babes, the best music and the best crowd all ready to go mental from the 6th to the 12th of August.
