As well as the prestige of being crowned a national champion, surfers are competing to increase their chances of being selected for their national teams.
The Extreme Academy at Watergate Bay has been home to the English Nationals since 2002.
The two-mile stretch of beach gives organisers the option to run four sets of heats simultaneously throughout the three days of competition.
The competition runs from tomorrow to Monday.
