Top Kneeboard Surfers Compete for Chance to Represent U.S. at World Titles
Huntington Beach Pier Site of Kneeboard Surfing USA Titles
Jan. 14 and 15, 2011
Huntington Beach, CA (November 28, 2010) – The shifting peaks south of the Huntington Beach Pier will determine which Kneeboarders represent the U.S. at the 2011 ISA World Kneeboard Championships. HB is the venue for the seventh annual Kneeboard Surfing USA Titles and Festival, Jan. 14 and 15, 2011.
Top finishers at Huntington Beach will receive a highly coveted spot on the U.S. Team traveling to the 2011 ISA World Kneeboard Championships being held in Philip Island, Australia next March.
“It adds drama to an already super-competitive event,” said Don Harris, Kneeboard Surfing USA president. “A strong finish at Huntington means a high seed for Phillip Island. And with the caliber of talent expected in Phillip Island, a seed is essential if you have any aspiration for a world title.”
A field of nearly 80 Kneeboarders is expected to compete at Huntington Beach – including a hard-core group of locals led by 2008 U.S. Champion Tom Backer. The Huntington crew will try to improve upon their performance earlier this year when they were bested by rivals from San Diego who finished in three of the top four spots in the Open Division. Cardiff’s Bill Lerner is expected to defend his title – won in nearly flawless head-high surf in January.
In addition to the Open Division, the contest will include a Junior’s Division for those under 21 years of age and a Women’s division. The event will conclude Saturday afternoon with a highly entertaining team competition. To enter the contest visit: www.ksusa.org.
The 2011 Kneeboard Surfing U.S.A. Titles is open to the public. Heats will begin each day at 7 a.m. weather and waves permitting. In addition, Sandy’s Beach Grill will host an official event gathering Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 6 p.m.
Sponsors of the Kneeboard Surfing U.S. Championships include: Aleeda Wetsuits, AquaTech Waterjet Cutting, Balestar Designs, Blast Hawaii, Bolsa Clothing, Brand ID, COVE PADS, DaKine, Duke’s/Sandy’s Beach Grill, Electric Visual, Flashpoint Surfing, Fred and Sons Metals, Freeline Design, Froghouse, Joel Mayer Pro Surf Photography, Larry Block Products, LuxurySurf.com, Maxim Capital Advisors, Ocean & Earth, Parkes Australia, Peligroso Tequila, Primo Beer, S.S. Metal Fabricators, Shoelkopf, Skull Candy, Stonefish Skegs Surfline, Surftech, Tide Has Turned, Trunq, Viper Surfing Fins, Waterman Applied Science, and Xcel Wetsuits.
Established in 2003, Kneeboard Surfing USA is dedicated to promoting the sport of Kneeboard Surfing through competitions, kneelo gatherings and other activities.

Thanks to all the sponsors for supporting what will hopefully be an awsome event. Question-is Sandy's a larger venue than the postage stamp sized bar we endured last year?
You regularly carry 3 0r 4 backups in your jacket pockets anyway

U P D A T E
Plans are well underway for the upcoming Titles and the Team's been working hard to make this year's event the best ever. There will be a lot of gear/product for RaffleMania and for the Finalists thanks to incredible support of an unprecedented line up of SPONSORS. Sponsors who are stoked to support Kneeboard Surfing. Also, KSUSA is partnering this year with a different crew to put on the contest and will continue to use professional judging which should allow for ongoing improvements in the overall event. WSA has been an incredible partner and has helped to make the annual KSUSA Titles and Kneeboard Festival the quality contest that it has been. The Team feels this is a step forward for KSUSA.
Based on feedback and past experience improvements in the evening gathering experience should be noticeable and a fun cap off to the competition during the day.
For the first time prize money will be up for grabs for the Open Finalists which should add a new twist.
1st - $500
2nd - $250
3rd - $150
4th - $100
GET YOUR ENTRIES IN!

In case you're on the fence about entering because it's been a long time since you've done a contest, or if you've never surfed in a heat, let me describe the format.
For the entire contest there are four man heats, 20 minutes, top 2 waves are scored with 1st and 2nd moving on-staying alive and 3rd and 4th either filling up AA and AAA Divisions or, eventually, being eliminated.
64 surfers (everyone) make up Round 1 of the Open. 3rd/4th from the 16 Round 1 heats make up the AA Division. The AA Division then has 32 surfers (8 heats) in a sudden-death format (i.e. top 2 stay alive and 3rd/4th eliminated) down to a 4-person Final.
Round 2 of the Open sees the top 2 moving on to Round 3 in a sudden-death format down to a 4-person Final, with 3rd/4th making up the AAA Quarter Finals (4 heats-16 surfers) who then surf down to a 4-person Final.
Everyone gets at least two heats. Great fun!
Hope you can make it!
