Where: The Expo Hall / YETI Stage
When: 6pm, Friday 24th July 2026
Get ready for a red-carpet celebration of British surfing like never before. The UK’s surf community is coming together to crown the best of the best – and you’re invited.
Hosted by World Surf League commentator Sam Bleakley, the evening will see winners revealed across 12 categories, from top surfers to surf photographers, schools, and ambassadors.
Picture this: the glitz of a red carpet, the soul of surfing, and a night that blends prestige with pure coastal energy.
Once the awards are announced, the party continues in the Wavelength Bar, fuelled by Ann’s Pasties, with legends at Kern spinning tunes late into the night.
Part of the UK Surf & Skate Expo, this is more than an awards show – it’s a celebration of surf culture, community, and the people shaping the future of British surfing.
Save the date. Be there. This is one night you’ll never forget.
2026 voting opens February 14th and runs through till the end of May 2026. Finalists are announced on the 1st of June 2026.
