Chloe Bunnett comes 2nd in the South Coast Surf Ski Challenge

Lilliput Health has recently announced its sponsorship of Chloe Bunnett, last year's UK Surf Ski champion.

Chloe Bunnett, sponsored by Lilliput Health, competed on Saturday 5th September at Sandbanks Beach for the South Coast Challenge which was the final race in the 2009 British Ocean Surf Ski Series. The weather was great, a brisk Northwesterly wind and sunshine. 48 paddlers across all different age groups lined up for the race.

The Senior Mens and Ladies had a great line up. Ivan Lawler, Mark Ressel and Dan Humble all looking for a win and a good dice was on the cards between Jenna Hawkey and Chloe Bunnett. The mens course was 14km and the Ladies 10km. The course was a triangular route out towards Old Harry then turning and heading towards Alum Chine and back into Sandbanks, the Senior Men did a further 4km out to a bouy towards Old Harry and then into Sandbanks. Ivan Lawler eased through to take the mens title and Jenna Hawkey took the Ladies title with Chloe Bunnett only 2 minutes behind in second. Jenna and Chloe carried on to do the 14km and both finished in the top 10 amongst the men.

Chloe will be racing again this Sunday in the Poole Harbour Canoe race so more news to follow.....
