The Open division is now full. We are now collecting names for the alternates list. Alternates will be placed in the main event as space becomes available due to cancellations or no-shows. If you would like to be added to the alternates list send me a PM.

If you have registered for the contest but are unable to attend, please let us know so we can make room for an alternate.

There is still plenty of room in the Junior and Women's divisions.

Thank you for your support. This is going to be a great event.

There is still plenty of room in the Junior and Women's divisions. Online registration has closed for the Open but will be available for Junior and Women's divisions through the end of October. If you know any women or junior kneeboarders please encourage them to enter as soon as possible.

We are also considering adding an unofficial grommet division for younger kids. If you have kids that would be interested in this "just for fun" event, let us know.

Looking forward to Huntington Beach in November.

The contest is just three and a half weeks away. Looking forward to another great event. We have filled the Open division and have started an alternates list. Alternates will be placed in the Open in place of cancellations and no shows.

If you are entered but unable to attend, please let us know so we can move an alternate into the contest.

Heat assignments and times will be posted a few days before the event. All competitors must check in well in advance of your heat time. No shows will be replaced by alternates.

We still have lots of room for women and juniors. Get the word out and help us fill these divisions.

Non-competitors, family, friends, and complete strangers are welcome to attend the event a join in the fun and festivities.

For being a good boy Evan was given a two day pass from rowing practice to compete in the Titles. He still has a regatta that Sunday.
Never leave well enough alone.
