Seasessions to welcome Quiksilver

Seasessions are stoked to welcome Quiksilver as the sponsor of its expression session surf competition.
 Quiksilver have announced a 1000euro travel voucher for the winner and lots of spot prizes for innovative surfing. The Quiksilver Expression Session format is designed to allow the surfers freedom to go for it and bust big moves. The competition is limited to 8 surfers and is judged on best wave/ best move unlike traditional comps. Six of Ireland and the Uks top surfers will be invited to take part with Spenser Hargraves and Cain Kilcullan among those all ready confirmed. The final two spots will be open to wildcards who will selected from an open expression session held on the day of the comp.
 
Quiksilver are also looking for the best surfer instructor on a swell board. The swelly board challenge will pit surf instructors from different surf schools against each other to see who can really cut it on the learner boards. There will be team and individual prizes as well as recognition for the Surf School they represent.
 
Seasessions is also delighted to announce that the Irish premier of Kelly Slaters new movie will take place in a tepee on the festival site. Other surf movies such as Waveriders and The Power of 3 will be on display in the movie tepee.
