First Annual Tofino Surf SUP Invitational Contest - Oct 25-2
I'm helping out a bit to organize the first officially CSA/ISA sanctioned Surf SUP contest on Canadian soil. We are working hard to make sure the event is top notch and it would be great to see some BWD folks make the trip.
Press Release: Tofino, BC, July 3, 2014 - Tofino Paddle Surf is excited to announce the First Annual Tofino Paddle Surf SUP Invitational, with the support of sponsors, friends, and volunteers. The fun, competitive event invites talented and committed standup paddle surfers in Canada and beyond to shred the waves in Tofino on October 25 & 26, 2014. Qualifying surfers are stoked, educated, and part of our epic and growing international SUP community!
The Tofino Paddle Surf SUP Invitational will run as a two day event in Tofino, using a classic heat/judging panel format, and have open pro men’s, amateur and a women's divisions, for this year’s contest. It's all for fun and community and we'll be throwing in a body surf expression session for anyone who's interested and just all-around loves being in the waves!
We are proud to announce that this event is sanctioned as the official Canadian Surfing Associations Qualifying Event for representation at the 2015 ISA World SUP Games for both men and women's divisions.
The awards banquet will be held on Sunday evening, October 26 and into the night.

Don't forget to bring a towel!
Hey Tony. Do you know what beach this will be on? Also, maybe a dumb question, but I see invitational in a few spots here...like the title of the event. I assume I don't need to be invited to go correct?
Hopefully I'll have board by then and dialled, otherwise Tempy and I will have share a board. :-)

RocDoc is right. Ideally it happens at Cox, but if the bay is closed out then it will have to move to a Chestermans.
The invitational thing mostly means there is an option to select who competes, which probably won't come into play until subsequent years as the event (hopefully) grows.
Get your registration in and no sandbagging! Some of you South Island guys are right up there with the best our Country has to offer!

Someone grab me some stickers for my kid's Subaru!
