IMPORTANT INFO: Yes NASS is under new ownership this year and will be bigger and better than ever before. We are the team that runs the Rip Curl Boardmasters in Newquay, Europe's largest week long surf, skate and music festival, to check out what's going on there this coming summer visit www.ripcurlboardmasters.com

So some IMPORTANT new facts about how NASS will be run this year and some tips on what to bring and what to leave at home:

There is a new site layout at NASS; the site will be split into the main area which everyone can access and three main camp sites; general, family and athlete/crew. You will be wrist banded accordingly and will not be able to access the camping zones with a day ticket. You will also not be allowed to stay past 3am on a day ticket.

NASS this year is going to be clean and fun, please respect others and yourselves. We have a new security team in place who are fair and friendly. However we don't want you to have to meet head of security Mark for misbehaving, in his free time he is a cage fighter. Please note your car may be searched when you arrive as will you and your bag on entering the site.

Please do NOT light camp fires anywhere on site

What to leave at home:
Alcohol is not allowed to be brought on site - we will have a few reasonably priced bars
Drugs -err, these are illegal
Offensive weapons or anything that may be considered offensive
Fireworks - there are many farms in the area and they frighten the livestock
Any glass
Pets
Laser pens - they are dangerous
Mini motorised scooters and bikes - these will not be allowed
Gas BBQ's (disposables are allowed FIRES ARE NOT)
Spray-paint


What to bring:
ID, if you are over 18 and want to drink alcohol - challenge 21 will be in place at all bars
Cash for the weekend there may not be a cash point on site
Your skate board or BMX
Rainwear, sun wear & warm clothes
Tent and sleeping bag if you are camping
Change of clothes in case you get wet
Mobile phone - please keep it safe

There will be an onsite shop

What not to do:

Do not set off fireworks - there are many farms in the area and they frighten the livestock
Do not drink too much - it pickles your brain and you'll feel like death in the morning

Have fun
Check out all the sports and have a go on the courses and ramps
Enjoy the music - this year it's going to be epic
Use the litter bins
Be nice to people!

Children
Children aged 7 and under are welcome free of charge but due to the nature of festivals we do not recommend you bring small children.
Child tickets are available for 8 to 11 year olds (inclusive)
Persons aged 15 and under by law must now be accompanied by an adult of 18 or over.
If you are bringing a child to NASS then you should on arrival get a child wristband. Write your mobile number on the wristband and affix it firmly to your child's wrist. This should enable us to contact you should your child become separated from you.
You should also make it a priority on arrival to ensure that your children are made familiar with their surroundings, should they become separated from you they will then know where to get help. In particular make them aware of the security staff, the event office and the medical & welfare centre.
