Count Down to the Worlds
There is already a lot of excitement and interest in events for next year, leading up to the 2011 World Surf Kayak Championships, to be held in OBX, NC in the fall of 2011.
These events will be used as part of the selection process for the 2011 US East Surf Kayak Team, and we will be offering beginner, intermediate, and advanced categories at all events when possible.
The ESKA tentative plan for 2010 is as follows, dates TBD:
February 2010:
Jacksonville, Florida Event at Hannah Park
March 2010:
Charleston, South Carolina Event at Folly Beach
May 2010:
Topsail Island, North Carolina Event
September 2010:
The 2010 US National Surf Kayak Championships and Battle for Hatteras:
Once again the US National Surf Kayak Championships return to the east coast. With the World Championships occurring on the Outer Banks of North Carolina in fall of 2011, we plan on holding the 2010 Nationals in the same location, in order to test some systems, and do a bit of a “dress rehearsal” for the Worlds.
In addition, we will be running the much postponed Battle for Hatteras team event in conjunction with the 2010 US National Surf Kayak Championships. The Battle for Hatteras will feature teams of three (one HP kayak, one IC kayak, and one waveski) facing off against each other.
The 2010 National Surf Kayak Championships and Battle for Hatteras will occur over a four day period, likely in early September. Though this is a “US” event, we would like to extend the invitation to surf kayakers all over the world to come participate in the Nationals and the Battle for Hatteras.
October 2010:
Topsail Island, North Carolina Event
November 2010:
New Smyrna, Florida Event
There may be more events added to this list in the near future. Dates will be set in the coming months, and we will also have some other exciting news to announce soon.
We are also planning on holding 6-8 events during the 2011 lead up to the World Surf Kayak Championships.
More info soon. Check back at http://eskasurf.com
