Boardmasters Festival is an annual event held in Cornwall, United Kingdom, usually spanning five days on the second weekend of August.

[9] In 2014, the organisers of the festival were forced to cancel the final day at the Watergate Bay site due to the remnants of Hurricane Bertha.

Artists due to perform were Bastille, George Ezra, Reel Big Fish, DJ EZ, 2manydjs and Catfish and the Bottlemen.

[10] However, the surf competition at Fistral Beach continued as normal and full refunds for the cancelled day were received by customers.

The festival has received local criticism due to its greater focus on the music performances, rather than the "extreme sports" side that the event was originally known for.
