Second day is happening... I should have links ready soon. Uploading from today...


9/11/09 -

The contest is on! I'll post links when I get them ready...


9/10/09 -

BEACH ENTRIES FOR COMPETITION ($30 WITH EVENT SHIRT INCLUDED) WILL BE ACCEPTED TILL 9:30AM, FRIDAY MORNING (SEPT 11th)

Just to keep everybody posted, the new ssw swell (2-3, occ 4ft) is SLOW to arrive, but it will show up sometime on friday.

Depending on the number of beach entries, we may (and probably will) run 5 man heats (instead of 6 man) in Round 1.  Better for ALL the competitors...

AND also depending on the amount of beach entries... EVERYBODY will have a chance to make the TOP 16 who will be advancing to the Quarterfinals on Saturday!!!

Right now, I estimate the total number of competitors to be around 40.  I may get flooded with beach entries Friday morning but I doubt it!  so 16 out of 40... no matter who u are... EVERYBODY has a chance!!!

Good luck and keep praying for SURF!!!

ALOHA!

Just want to update everybody with the latest...
We got some storm activity down south (New Zealand area) that may possibly warrant an actual swell next weekend (filling in Sept 10th, holding through the 11th & 12th, maybe the 13th but possibly not)  I'll be keeping my eye on it for the next few days.  I'm hoping "the bigger, the better!" but we'll just have to be patient and see what happens.

I'd like to thank everybody for their kokua thus far.  I'm actually only the middle-man here. None of this would be possible without your valuable assistance and contributions. If I can speak for everybody who loves bodysurfing as much as I do, MAHALO NUI LOA!!!

I'm EXTREMELY excited about getting this event up-&-running and we are pretty confident that we will run in the next 30 days so pray for surf and for those swell generators down under to PUMP and point towards us here in Hawaii!!!

I have yet to solidify EVERYTHING in regards to the event itself such as t-shirts, judging, officiating, trophies & prizes, food & drinks, PA system, the ez ups canopies & pop up tents, water patrol, etc.  Please email me again (sorry, its been a long summer) to confirm your contributions so I can attempt to organize them appropriately.

For the early entrants (you know who u are), this email is a CONFIRMATION that I received your entry form and payment for the competition and therefore, you're IN and you're in "the communication loop" of what's going on and when... (standby for future emails...)

Any questions, comments, or concerns?  Don't hesitate to ask me via email or by phone at (808)443-6026 

Keep in touch when u have the time and have an excellent first day of September!

MAHALO NUI & ALOHA!

ALOHA KAKOU!

My name is Kanekoa Crabbe and I am seeking your support and/or assistance in one of the most exclusive bodysurfing ONLY events in Hawaii; the birthplace of ocean waveriding.   My purpose in creating this event is "To celebrate & perpetuate the Hawaiian art form of he'e umauma and kaha nalu (bodysurfing)" which, as a young Hawaiian male, is my kuleana (responsibility) as the elder generations of Hawaii pass on.

Attached to this email is the official flyer and entry form I have created.   Please feel free to review it for the basic information about our event when it is most convenient for you.

Because I am currently the sole financier of this endeavor, I humbly come before you to ask for your kokua (help) in making this first-time even as successful as possible.   I have personally selected you and/or your business because I am familiar with what morals and values you and your respective companies believe in, many quite similar to my own.   I hope to continue this event annually provided I attain the necessary support from the State Of Hawaii, the people of Hawaii, and all parties interested in sustaining bodysurfing as a fun, enjoyable, healthy, and culturally-significant pastime.   Bodysurfing, to me, is the foundation for ALL the various mediums of waveriding.   Without it, many things today wound not exist.   Great watermen and women of the past and present would agree.

In return for your sponsorship, donation(s), and/or assistance, we are offering you advertising space in form of your companies logo on our event t-shirts, visual advertising opportunities at the event, and verbal advertising through the M.C. during the event itself.   If you are able to assist us in any way, shape, or form, no matter how big or small, please feel free to contact me via email at kanekoa78@hotmail.com , by phone at (808)443-6026, or by mail at 55-619 Naniloa Loop. Laie, HI 96762.

If you may know of any other parties that may be interested in assisting us with this event, please send this email including the attached documents to them whenever possible.

Mahalo nui loa (Thank you very much) for you time and have a wonderful day!

Sincerely,

Kanekoa K.C. Crabbe
Event Co-Director
