Ride for a Cause Surf Contest Weekend (for the March
of Dimes)
See the reports and pictures link here.
Date of
Event: October 2-3, 2009 (Friday-Sunday, the contest is on Saturday; ppd from Oct 4 to Oct 11 due to flatness)
Location: Sandbridge, VA
(just south of VaBeach)
Volunteer Coordinators:
This will be ASC's second time participating in this fun-oriented surf
contest that raises funds for the March of Dimes (now called the March for Babies).
This year the ASC is sponsoring two teams in the Team Surf Division,
Team Lunch Tray (paipo, properly known as the "Chris Harazda Memorial
Team") and Team Statue.
Chris Harazda is the former brother-in-law of new member, Kokomo. Chris was a well known paipo rider along the Space Coast. The following divisions are:
1) Team Surf. The entire team surfs together. Each team member’s
highest score will be added to the team’s final tally. Each team member
must fill out their own entry form and specify as to which team they
belong. Six (6) people per team! No specific board requirements.
2) Old School Longboarding. Classic old school tricks will be scored
the highest (i.e., headstands, dying cockroach, etc.). Retro longboards
are not required. Regular tricks will be scored but the judges want to
see you go old school.
3) Open Switch Stance Longboarding. Break out your log and ride it opposite stance from normal!
4) Shortboard Open. Ride your sickest potato chip and go big!
5) Paipo Open. Surf Kayak. This event welcomes are paddling bros and sisters.
6) Quad Shortboard Open. Ride a four-finned board! ASC's
Austin Saunders, owner of Austin Surfboards, is a sponsor.
If you are entered in Team Surf you can also enter other divisions
without addtional entry fees - however, you need to indicated which
division on your entry forms (Contact Rod as he is coordinating the
fees/entry forms).
Last year, in addition to placing 7th in the team
contest, our members were the top three fundraisers. We rented an
oceanfront beach condo for a 3-day surf 'n fun weekend.
Please Sponsor a Member from the Roster of the Annapolis Surf Club's Two Teams!
