markstephens Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Congratulations to Sing who finished third in the intermediate division at the Santa Cruz Kayak Surfing Competition this past weekend. Given that Sing was competing in conditions bigger than what we usually see around here, in a rented plastic boat, and in a venue that draws some of the best kayak surfers in the world, this is an impressive showing! Way to go Sing! Here he is at the awards ceremony on Sunday: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Est...%202005/sc6.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eneumeier Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Totally Fabulous! Imagine what he could do in his own boat!Liz N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstephens Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 Using his own boat would move him up into the High Performance (i.e. - Expert) category where he would be up against the best surf kayakers in the country. I imagine Sing will be ready for that class next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djlewis Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Terrific! Congratulations, Sing.Downside -- you can longer claim to be a clueless beginner at surfing, or even a clueless intermediate! ;-))) And when are you going to offer that class in surfing with short boats (not that you don't do a lot of informal 1-1 teaching already)?--David.

sings_evil_twin Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I had a really good time doing SC again. Surfing is kind of specialized but safer than WW (in my opinion). If anyone wants to try, let me know I have boats that fit small to medium paddlers.The Northern New England Surf kayakers' group will likely hold a NNE expression session (just a surf get together) sometime in late April or May, when water and air temps get warmer. We'll post something when things get more concrete.Tim Stratz made some good connections with the west coast surfing elite out at Santa Cruz. Some good things may come out of this in the near and immediate future in terms of more accessible equipment for NE folks. I think we got a good start on things and when combined with the ongoing efforts of RISK (Rhode Island Surf Kayakers), we may well have a nice scene in New England for those interested in this sport of "dancing on waves." I very excited about the possibilities. sing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glad Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Majorly impressive, Sing! I remember when you did your FIRST surfing session just a few years ago in Westport and you looked awesome then.Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
