Another Successful WOMEN ON WAVES Event!
Thank you for
joining us at our recent
Women On Waves (WOW) Longboard Surf Fest, the longest running
women's surf contest in California. The 10th annual women's surf celebration
went off successfully on Saturday, April 8, 2006 in Capitola.
According to head
organizer, Sally Smith, "It was such a great day. We weren't let
down in anyway -- 100+ contestants, good fun waves, good weather, good vibes... plus,
I believe record funds were raised for our local non-profits like WomenCare
(we're still tallying). Everyone went away stoked! I think there were
more spectators this year than ever before -- probably had something to
do with the sunshine after many days of rain."
With the fun wave conditions, the
crowds kept Surftech busy with the high volume of demo boards being
checked out. Many spectators simply basked in the warm sun and
bought raffle tickets galore to win the eight highly coveted surfboards and
prizes being given away all day.
The WOW fest came to an end at
Zelda's with cocktails, a lively awards dinner banquet, Surftech board
auction, and music from Ashley Lloyd Situation. With
Siren/Surftech Team Rider Kristy Murphy at the helm as emcee, auctioneer
and "evangelist," the evening's upbeat energy and rollicking laughter
never faltered. We look forward to having this fast-talkin',
highly entertaining World Longboard champ and more top women pros
headlining WOW next year.
See you in April 2007!
