Longboard Team Challenge
37th St. Beach
(Castle in the Sand)
Friday - Sunday,
June 9-11th
WOW
- What a weekend! Our 6th Longboard Team Challenge is history and
congratulations to our three award winning teams: Team Ashton
repeats as champion and the perpetual “tiki” trophy is again on display
at K-Coast’s 36th St. surf shop. Taking home the “WEDENTLUZE woodies”
were the guys from Malibu Surf Shop-only single digits behind the
champs. And certainly not least is the “team Kahiko” boys representing
the Jersey Shore Chapter SRF. The quarters, semis and finals were
super—top quality longboarding on every wave-congratulations and thanks
to ALL competitors for adding your stoke to our event.
Our Friday night celebration of OC surf heritage and community was
highlighted by the induction of John Collins, Blair Rhodes, John
Phillips and “big” Carl Johnson into the “oc legends”-now there’s some
surf history –congratulations and welcome aboard.
A huge ‘MAHALO’ to our sponsors Coconuts Beach Bar, Dan Hopkins &
Quiksilver and Great Scott Broadcasting and, of course, our annual
hosts –the Showell Family and the Castle in the Sand Hotel; without
these folks we wouldn’t have a successful “SRF WKND.”
A real shout out to the staff-you folks not only made this a successful
event but also very enjoyable. Mahalo to Doc & the judging corps;
Randy & Bill, our time/flag & horn guys; and the efficient
staff covering-registrations, tabulations, sales, setup/cleanup- a
t-shirt is hardly thanks enough - Melissa, Stephanie, Jim, Debbie, Mike
and Art. And a special thanks to OC Public Works and the OCBP crew. Kip
and I want to express our gratitude to the rest of the organizing
committee - Andrea @ Great Scott Broadcasting and Patricia of the
Castle in the Sand for once again enabling us to present our
recognizable “Longboard Team Challenge”
Mahalo,
Shelly Dawson, Director
