The fifth and final day of Boardmasters Festival 2013 saw the weekend's awe inspiring action continue. The huge crowd at the sell-out summer spectacular were treated to yet another day of brilliant music and exceptional sporting action. Man of the moment Ben Howard closed the festival with a set that provided revellers the perfect farewell after another record breaking year.

Down at Fistral the superb Day Sessions once again

soundtracked a packed surf schedule which ran alongside the Pro Skate and BMX finals.

The BMX Finals saw Alex Coleborn continue his exceptional form from the Qualifiers to add first place overall to yesterday's Canadian Tech Trick victory. His winning performance saw everything from huge airs and tech tricks to terrifying slams as he chased a triple tail whip. Coleborn landing this was one of the moments of the weekend, and was met with delight by the spectators. Jack Clark completed a fantastic weekend of riding by taking second. A strong start and some supremely technical riding including his incredibly inventive 270 barspin in off the doorway saw him hold off stiff competition from Tom Justice in third. Justice's who's near perfect first run will live long in the memory and goes someway to explaining why he and Isaac Lesser took home the plaudits for Riders Rider, which is chosen by their fellow competitors over the course of the weekend.

Boardmasters also saw record numbers at the Watergate Bay site. A testament to the the strength of this year's headliners, the exceptional and varied musical line-up and the ever expanding lifestyle offering.
