Hah! $50??

Hell, I can put lipstick on it and book it a seat for $49!

Heh heh. Maybe one of my boyz will transport for a small fee. I'm thinking Gove would be on that - anything for a buck! 8) 8)

thanx joe

Maybe my math is off but on the poll 49 say they plan to enter but only 45 look to be signed up at this point. The end of the month's coming so get your entries in!

I heard there's going to be sweatshirts, t-shirts, and beanies 8)

Should be good news on the surf forecast. Since the near future is bleak in the way of meaninful surf, come January maybe the NPAC will wake up and start sending some nice groundswells :D

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

team event

Post by Jack Beresford »

SC Competitors: start thinking about the team event too. This has been a highlight of our last couple comps. In O-side it was N. Cal vs. OC, SD and Cent. Cal. I think we also had a "World Team." If Gavin shows, I'm betting the World Team might be a favorite. Rumor has it the OC guys are running training sessions at Kneelo Cove: with weights on their ankles to simulate the dreaded Santa Cruz seaweed!

gathering

Post by Jack Beresford »

Hi Willy,

We're at Ideal (the bar/restaurant by the pier) this year. We're also working on a possible poolside bbq/party for Wednesday night...stay tuned.

We need any stragglers to get their entries in ASAP (deadline tomorrow). If you're on the fence - send it in. Even if you can't make it, KSUSA needs your support!

My two cents: definitely enter!! For sure this will be the best U.S. Championships I've seen in our 4 years of the event. With the return of the current world champ, as well as the best collection of U.S. kneelos in one contest ever, it will be great surfing. And the evening get togethers will be that much better.

And it all starts next week...I can't wait!

Unfortunately I can't make it but I have to agree with Scott - the nightly festivities are totally worth it! The Ideal is very cool and the little mexican take out place across the street rules!

Yes... saw Gavin on The North Shore.
He is arriving the "faux-teenth" (14th) :wink:

Good news is he was only going left! Mainly at Backyards and Pipe. When he did go right, we were surfing Sunset and he was on a 7'6" Stand-up Pintail. :D

Hopefully, he'll be rusty!!!!

(yeah right)

:?

Can't wait till next week.
