Registration is up for TX Gulf Surf Championship

[biggriz]

Click on the TGSA website to register. The event is called, Cinco de Mayo Longboard Pro/Waveski Invitational. It states to join TGSA to enter, but the President of TGSA told me that she'll waive that membership for out of state competitors just competing in this event. You will have to sign a release, as usual.

Good job Biggriz

Do have any suggestions for flying from CA? Do you fly into CRP with a waveski?

[biggriz]

The only airline that can carry waveskis to Corpus is Southwest, which is usually your best deal anyway. I think any other airline would have to go to San Antonio and you'd have to drive from there, about 2 hours drive. Best bet, Southwest.
I office so close to the airport, if anyone wants to share a rental car, but arrive at different times, I can pick you up and get you to where you need to go. Anyone who wants to save money can also sleep at my office as well. Just let me know if I can help...

That sounds awesome Biggriz!
Thanks

[biggriz]

for our Pro/Am contest next month:
World Champion Tony Silvagni
National and World ranked longboard sufers - Justin Quintal, Corey Williams, and Pat Nichols

and so far, just one waveski surfer, me.

There's 2 waveskiers let the good times roll.

It's on!

How you looking Ty?

[asspaddler]

I am looking into it. Never been to the Texas Gulf before. See if I can sneak away for a few days,, will advise.

[Fletch-dog]

Sick!

[tyler]

making plans...

[biggriz]

overhead on the outside bar, but windy, 18-22. Forecast is for wind to gradually calm this next week and surf will probably settle and clean up by contest day.
I heard we have Fletch dog and someone from Santa Cruz entered, but don't know who. Is there anyone from the East Coast coming?

Here's a Motel 6 that's close to contest site for cheap, $43/night

Here's a Holiday Inn on the beach real close to contest site, but pricey:

Also, don't forget that my office is available for free lodging if anyone wants to come on the cheap. Don't expect any massage service included, but at least a place to stay and cost nothing. If anyone wants to enter late, I'll tell the TGSA to keep the waveski division open up to the last minute. Let me know if you have any problems with registration.

It was 5:30 this morning and had to get up at 4:00 to get there in time. I looked and felt like s### at that hour.

Great job Rick! Looks like we have a new media spokeperson for the uswa.

Don't think the sleep affected your handsomeness. Onno paddle to give away too. Nice job on getting Onno as a sponsor too.

Anyone that has the weekend free, head to Corpus Christi for a great time and surf.

Once in Corpus Christi, take S. Padre Island Drive (Hwy 358) south till it crosses over the JFK Causeway onto Padre Island. Look for the next left, Hwy 361, and go left. Then, take the first right, Zahn Road, till it dead ends to the beach, which is contest site.
