NEW ESA WFL T-Shirts are in. Email for info

ESA WFL District Contest Season of 2008-2009 has begun. The first  comp was a little bit on the smaller side,  But so far Greg A. has been 3  for 3 with calling a contest with good waves and even better conditions. So  rest assured - you sign, you surf!

So,  this is it - The window is open  for contest #2, but  there will be one minor change - there will be  "minimum" beach entries, and we do mean MINIMUM. For  instance, lets say all of the competitors filled out their entry forms along  with their current ESA membership and fees early and all of the slots were  filled with the exception of 2 and you are one of the first few competitors  there early enough (around 7 am) with slots open, you may be able to be  added.  Having our contest forms and fees prior to the contest saves much  "standing around" time and allows us to run our contest much more smoothly.  There are other districts that will not accept any beach entries, so we are  being pretty lax in this rule. Also, if we can get at least 4 contests in for  this season, you are able to drop your lowest contest score, so bear that in  mind.

  Pro Surfers such as Kelly Slater, Lisa Anderson, the Hobgoods and the Lopez’s have learned some of their competitive skills and have begun their competition careers with the Eastern Surfing Association (ESA). The ESA is the largest amateur Surfing Association in the WORLD with over 7,000 members. The West Florida District (WFL) ESA is non-profit and runs strictly on volunteer support. ESA’S MISSION: The ESA is dedicated to the sport of amateur surfers of all ages and abilities and preservation of free access to a clean shoreline and ocean environment. It is a family oriented program. PLEASE HELP your Local West Florida Division of the Eastern Surfing Association !!! We are asking that any kind hearts that have a little bit of time to donate to our community’s West Florida Division of the Eastern Surfing Association, please contact Robyn Agerskov at agerskor@allkids.org as soon as possible.

THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR WITH A NEW DIRECTOR (Greg Agerskov) AND HELP IS NEEDED IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS: - Head Tabulator during contests -Sponsors to donate towards, trophies, contests, etc. (we intend on having fundraisers but those alone cannot support all of the ESA’s mission). - Someone to handle points and standings and input those into our website - Trophies - Jerry Lacasse is handing trophies We really appreciate your help in the continued support of our community and representation for the West Coast of Florida. We look forward to a fun and successful year! Thanks again!
