Time: 5:30pm-8:00pm
Location: Pure Surf Shop in Annapolis
Come on out and support Pure for this ASC fundraiser. Robbie will be auctioning off a surfboard to some lucky soul.
The proceeds from the auction will be donated to the ASC. Pure is a
great supporter of the ASC and local surfers. They offer knowledgeable
equipment advice and fair pricing. The ASC will be providing food and
Pure will be running surf films on the plasma screen television. Stop
by on your way home from the beach and enjoy good food, surf films and
pick up the latest gadget to improve your surf and skate equipment.
You have to support your local surfing
industry or lose it overseas. Pure is a great place to start. Contact Robbie at 410-267-7669 for directions, information and to be
added to his event notice list. (Click on pic for a larger image.)

Long time members
know this event as the Toes on the Nose, or TOTN. The ASC has supported this fun Surfrider Foundation Ocean City
Chapter fundraiser since the Club began. The
ASC approaches the contest as a great social event, which helps promote
surfing. Last year we fielded a couple of teams and they were supported
by a strong contingent on the beach. Our teams have traditionally been
composed of participants from a variety of wave riding vehicles. Some
had never been on a longboard before. This year, Giles Cook has
volunteered to captain our effort. Contact Giles by private message
and
join the team. We usually gather the day before to prime our
drinking pumps and stake out the sleeping arrangements. Last year many
Club members
camped at Assateague with good friends, children and a herd of wild
ponies while others stayed at Castle in the Sand (the contest venue).
Friday night is the OCSF's Legends Night (free food at 7pm). Plans are
to have a Club BBQ after the Saturday contest and surf session at
Gile's place in Delaware (directions will be posted on the Forum
and Portal). Keep an eye on the forum posts to join in on the entire
weekend. The BBQ is a private party for members and guests only.

This
is another great weekend at the beach for the ASC. This is the
event that invites anyone to come learn about surfing and the ASC. We
offer an event filled day of surf lessons, group expression sessions
and water safety awareness information. When the Wave Gods do not
provide swell for the event, we bump up the fun with surfboard polo,
beach volleyball and sand castle contests. This is a
bring-a-dish-and-drink event, that offers a best dish contest. The Club
kicks in for the
grilled sandwiches. Grandparents,
infants and your spouse or special friend are also welcome. All will be entertained and some will get the surf
bug. This event is currently un-sponsored as a weekend event, but keep
checking the forum. You never know who wants to party long and late. Click here for a flyer.
