22nd April 2012 - Zapcat racing at Fistral Bay.

Round two of the Newquay Grand Prix, National & Surf Championships.

Rather than venture down onto the beach today I walked along Pentire Head to get a different view of the racing.

Once again the Zapcats faced strong on shore winds and tight wave sets.

A tough challenge for the teams, with capsizes in the first two heats.
