The Fat Face night jump, which took place on Saturday (19) at JB Ski in Thorpe Road, saw competitors from around the world jumping over a four metre high bar on their wakeboards.

John Tully, from Ireland, took the winning place, and £3,000 prize money, after jumping a 4.15 metre high bar.

Organiser Ian Williams said: "The Fat Face Night Jump was a massive success and our thanks to JB Waterski for putting on such a fantastic event; the competitors for putting on the phenomenal displays and the spectators who created such a brilliant atmosphere, cheering the riders on."
