Club and Errant Rider, Winners

Errant will continue to sponsor the Hotdoggers Surf Club in North Devon, hailed as Europe's biggest surf club, the club will benefit from prize and equipment sponsorship in 2007. Ben Haworth, last years league championship winner and Errant team rider has got off to a great start winning the first event of 2007.

The ‘Open’ event was the most hotly contested and a high standard of surfing was seen throughout the rounds. Ben Haworth was on a mission to defend his previous two club titles and his two months training in Morocco certainly seemed to shine through with Ben pulling off some amazingly smooth and radical maneuvers. Ben worked through his rounds to take first place in each of his heats eventually winning the final above other open finalists Greg Robinson, Keano and Tim Aylett.
