Twenty-five year old goofy-footer Johnny Fryer put on a dazzling display of surfing at Newquay’s Fistral Beach this weekend to claim his maiden British title.
He showed his true competitive spirit and knowledge to be crowned British champion, and took home a Gibson Les Paul Studio guitar as the champion’s trophy. Jayce Robinson & Oli Adams both surfed well in the final but it was Johnny’s day.

UK Pro Surf Tour. Stop 2. Croyde. May 28-30th 2011
The Saltrock Open 2011 went off in style this weekend and ended with crowning a new champion – congratulations Johnny Fryer!
The Saltrock Open stole the show on what is now the busiest weekend of the year in Croyde. The waves were better than expected reaching 3 -4 ft on Sunday and everyone who came to watch saw great performances from the UKs top surfers.
The Men’s Open was strongly contested as predicted and was rounded off by a great final. The lead went back and forth throughout with Alan Stokes leading most of the way, then Russell Winter came back strongly only to be overtaken by new champion Johnny Fryer on the last wave of the heat.
UKPSA Director Dave Reed was stoked with how the event ran. “Another successful Saltrock contest, with record entries and great support from Saltrock and Nike 6.0 as well as Marley Mellow Mood and Relentless plus numerous other organisations this well established event will go from strength to strength”
