Bare Wires Surfshop in spring lake, nj is hosting their second surf contest to kick off the summer. it is on june 8th, 2013. ALL contest proceeds are donated to charities that focus on counseling/helping/educating teenagers in the coastal new jersey area. this years donations will be given to THE SAMARITAN CENTER OF THE JERSEY SHORE. the contest has an ALL AGES OPEN SURF DIVISION, SURF DIVISIONS FOR HIGH SCHOOL AGE and YOUNGER, as well as eementary and high school body boarding. all division are co-ed. FULL INFO and entry forms can be found at barewiresurfshop.com and Facebook. pre-registration goes till last day in may, on beach sign ups for remaining spots. last year was a blast, hope to see you there.
What is the skill level for a contest like this? I'd like to try a contest but would like to be competitive in it and not embarrass myself.
this contest is strictly for fun! sure there are good surfers in the OPEN surfing division as well as the high school age division and younger. in the end we are just trying to raise money for a good cause, and give the kids something fun and positive to do!
No lonboard division for the over 40 guys with surgically repared shoulders like myself. Hate to admit that I only short board when it get too big for the longboard/ travel. will still go and bring my kids to check out and donate to the cause.
def no longboarding this year. there just isnt enough time in the day to be able to put it on with the correct tide. hopefully all the wrinkles will be worked out after this year to let us do a non short board open division in the future
Missed it last year, definitely gonna have to get onboard with my daughters this year. Looking forward to it.

Can't believe I need to ask this in NJ, but does the CG Great White Shark notice in Belmar yesterday affect the contest going off? Would love to bring the kids, not sure I want them to see Wild Kingdom - Spring Lake if I do...
