Ralph, with you advertising it as much as you are....are you involved with the organizers of this event?

Only reason I ask, is that if you are....you may want to talk to the organizers, and maybe let them know that there's a bunch of folks who participated in their event at Church last year, and were quite disappointed to be surfing with/against the pros in the "Open" category.

So much so, that they've said it was a "one and done", and that they won't participate in it again....especially having to pay the same $100 fee as the pros, when they can surf there for free (yes, beyond popular belief, we actually surf there without getting kicked out if you know where to be)....and only getting one "heat" out there.

Just sending that along, to maybe let the organizers know what's being said out there if they don't already....or that if they want to support the pro's trophy money with the amateurs' $100 entries fees who won't be getting nothing but a $10 trophy....they might reconsider how they go about setting up their event and ultimately heats (two amateurs, two pros, or future pro...Mo and Max sound familiar?)...gee I wonder who's going get to surf again in the next round? ::) :() to get more folks coming back, and convincing others to join them.

Just a thought.....
Me: 6'1"/185...(2) 5'1" Kings Foil/Wing Boards...7'10 Kings DW Board...9'6" Bob Pearson "Laird Noserider"...14' Lahui Kai "Manta"...8'0" WaveStorm if/when the proning urges still hit.

Sanosup,

I have been the instigator in getting this going.
Originally, I was trying to help 2 buddies collaborate.
The Surf Race to Victory (Victory Koredry) and the Paint Ball Event (Chuck)
Both here at the Huntington Beach Pier.
Victory was footing the bill for all the fees by themselves..
while Chuck had a very organized Paint Ball Tournament.
So I suggested the two events combine and share costs..
I put these Guys together with that in mind.

Chuck and Ian Cairns (Former World Champion) are working together on the US Sup Tour now.
Ian is the guy that takes the USA to the ISA (International Surfing Association)
World Championships, Surfing and SUP (Race and Surf)

I am with you on this.
At Church last Year.
I was in a heat against Mo and the Jr Sup Champ, with Standindan.
I looked at Mo and said "Hey Mo it's Fathers Day go easy".
Those 2 Boys ripped.
Then after Mo's heat, he paddled over his the Pro Heat at the north peak.
Yeah I'm with you...15 minutes for the price of entry...Booo...
They said they were running thin and decided to open it up...

I dug into the organizers about several issues.

(1) No Pro's in the Open Event.
(2) Heats for Age Groups as Advertised.
(3) Separate Awards for each category.
(4) Lower Fees for Open Category

Ultimate Goal for me is to see this Event select the best to represent the USA at the ISA
not just the Sponsors that are footing the bill.
Last year it was Sean Poynter and Collin McPhilips representing the Men, (Starboard and Hobie)
Both Guys rip but it wasn't a Points Leader Goes selection.
Just not enough events around the USA to make that happen.

The US Sup Tour is a developing venue and is now Associated with the Michelob Ultra Circuit of
Beach Oriented Contests/Events. 

There will be quite a few more events added to the calendar with this association.

One of the biggest issues will be turn out. So I am helping to promote their events.

So now the four points above have been instituted..

Any other questions Please feel free to Contact
Chuck Henndsch,  Chuck@ussuptour.com

Or I will do my best to get you answers and reply..

At the Zuma Event there were 2 Heats of 4 for over 40.
Then the Final..
I placed 4th edging out Ian
It was fun...

Winners got a House Boat Trip at Lake Shasta...

Please come and Support the US Sup Tour.

Thanks so much for the detailed reply Ralph, really appreciate you taking the time.

With the four points you made and presented, you were right on point with what I was thinking....and it sounds as though they started to implement them at the Zuma event.

Well done, and thank you for that, I might have to see what happens the next time the tour comes through Church....sounds like it would be fun with the new format.

Cool event yesterday- i stumbled into it being in HB for work today.  Ralph- i think i caught one of your heats in over 40. And watched the Open class.

 The conditions sure were a mess for the later heats- but great to see so much talent in one place- I haven't seen that many SUP boards in person in my life surfing the east coast wish i had gotten there earlier for a demo
