3wks to U.S. Waveski Nationals Sept.28-30th Cocoa Beach Florida
Don't miss the largest Waveski event in several years! Riders from all
over the United States will be attending including the top Waveskiers
in the United States. I have spoken to Steven Moser (CA) from
Wavemaster USA and he will be coming, I suspect he will bring a few
from his crew too. I also spoke to Dick Wold and he said he will do
his best to make it. West Coast riders Rodger Adams (CA) Fletcher
Burton (CA) Mark Pastick (CA) and others will be attending. Ricky
Miller (NJ) past JR.Champ, Alexander Stubbs (Ma,CA) Stewart Deisel
Reynolds Macski rider (Va) MenoVan Schagan (Holland) Rob Canali (NJ)
Gordon&Paula Rock (NC) Stephen Riordan (Ga) Gordon Winterbon (GA)
The list above represents just some of the better known non-Florida
competitors; Florida has by far the most Waveskiers of any state thus
far with California running a close second in numbers, not
competitors. Florida will most probably and naturally have 4-5 times
more competitors at this event. This event will run for 3 day and will
be run and hosted by Roy & Pam Scafidi of Island Waveski, Roy and Pam
have over a decade of experience in running National and World Waveski
events. Ask anyone that showed up at the last small kick off event in
April and they can tell you that it was TOP notch run and the judging
was most professional. Island Waveski also nearly gave out more value
in prizes to EVERY competitor than was paid in entry fees. They truly
love this sport and are spending the money and time to prove it.
For those who are not super competitive folks (like me) the event also
produces tons of new Waveskis and equipment from all over the World
you can check out and even try. This event provides all of us an
incredible learning experience and BEST OF ALL and even more
important, the camaraderie and new friends you will experience and
meet is worth far more than anything you could buy or find anywhere
else. Fact is, I have made numerous good new friends that all share
the same love of Waveski'ing as I do. Nearly where ever I go in the
U.S. now, I can pick up the phone and call a new friend I met through
these events and go surfing with them. Many members on the USWA will
attest to the fact that at the very least, these events have forged
some great long lasting relationships...
