LAST CONTEST

2010-04-13T07:05:00.001-07:00

The last contest of the season is set for this Saturday, April 17th at Steamer Lane. Due to a previously planned work event, Big John and I will not be at the contest. If anyone is interested in surfing in this contest, they will need to have a parent or guardian on site to get heat information and so on. Attached is the latest information on the contest. It does not look like we are surfing until 1000. I am sending in a heat sheet with only a few names due to the contest site. If you are not 100% confident with your surfing and swimming ability, please pass on this contest. At this point I don't know what the waves at going to be like, but the location is NOT a beginners spot.

Next Surf practice will be at Capitola on Wednesday at 4 pm. If anything changes, I will let you all know.

Surf Practice Friday, Feb 19

2010-02-18T07:12:00.000-08:00

We are planning to have practice at Manresa on Friday. The swell is supposed to pick up that day, so as usual, I will make the final call on Friday by noon.

Also, the contest is set for Sunday the 21st NOT Saturday. If you want to surf in the contest please contact Mrs. Welles so we can plug you in to a heat.

Thanks,

Conor

Surf practice Feb. 12th

2010-02-12T10:05:00.001-08:00

Practice will be at 4:00 in Capitola. NOT MANRESA!!!!

Surf Practice Friday, Feb 12

2010-02-11T19:46:00.000-08:00

Surf practice will be at the usual time (4:00) on Friday. We will probably surf at Manresa since that is the spot of our next contest. The swell was small today, but if it gets bigger tomorrow, we will move the practice back to Capitola. I will let everyone know tomorrow by lunch.

Also the contest for the middle schools is on Sunday Feb 21. There was and error in the last e-mail from The Core.

Manresa Contest Saturday Feb 20

2010-02-05T20:03:00.000-08:00

The CSSL contest at Manresa is still on for Feb. 20 (Jr. High) and Feb. 21 (High School).

Surf Practice Friday, Feb 5

2010-02-05T06:52:00.000-08:00

Surf practice is at 4:00 in Capitola on Friday Feb 5. If you have any questions feel free to call me at 212-1791.

Surf Practice, Cancelled on Friday Jan 29

2010-01-29T15:05:00.000-08:00

I know... it's late notice, but the waves are so small and the tide is so low, that it would not be a great session. Capitola has too much kelp for the low tide, so I figured Cowells would be nice, but the swell dropped to a point no one would catch any waves. Sorry again and I hope you all got the message at school.

Conor

Surf Practice, Friday Jan 29

2010-01-29T05:55:00.000-08:00

I am planning to have surf practice on Friday, but I don't know the location.... yet. There is a good chance we will be at Manresa. I will have a spot picked out before lunch on Friday, so check with the front office at school to get the latest information or call me at 212-1791.

Conor

Surf Practice CANCELLED for Friday Jan 22

2010-01-21T06:36:00.000-08:00

I know it is now two weeks in a row, but the weather is forcing this cancellation. Due to the poor water quality, the debris in the water and the size of the surf, I don't feel it is safe to get in the water this week. Hopefully we can surf next week.

See you at school,

Conor

Surf Practice CANCELLED for Friday Jan 15

2010-01-14T21:30:00.000-08:00

Sorry to cancel the practice, but I am not feeling the best. Big John Shepard is also under the weather, so at this point I have to cancel because we don't have anyone to get in the water with the team. If things change, I will update everyone by e-mail, blog and text tomorrow. If you have questions feel free to give me a call (212-1791).

Sorry again,

Conor

JAN 23 SURF CONTEST POSTPONED

2010-01-12T07:51:00.000-08:00

I have been notified that the contest set for Jan 23 at the Hook has been postponed. Here is the e-mail I received for your information.

The CSSL January 23 and 24 contest will be postponed for a few different reasons:

- It is during a 4 day weekend for SC County High Schools and we have been informed that many students will be out of town.

- We cannot use The Point or The Hook on Jan. 23/24. We were told it was a possiblity to use either venue when we initially got the permit, but construction is still going strong and we cannot hold a contest at either venue. We could hold it at 26th or The Mo, but since it is a 4-day weekend, we voted to reschedule and increase our odds that construction will be done and the contest can be at The Point or The Hook on a later date in March. If neither The Point or The Hook construction is done on the later March date, a contest at 26th or The Mo in March will hopefully be less challenging for our beginning surfers than having a contest at either venue in January.

So....we are in the process of deciding March permit date at The Hook or The Point to take the place of the January contest. We will send out an email as soon as everything is confirmed.

The February 20 and 21 contest is still a go for Manresa with Capitola as a back up.

Surf Practice Saturday Jan 9 at 2PM

2010-01-08T18:02:00.001-08:00

For anyone interested, we are going to be having practice in Capitola at 2 pm on Saturday. John Shepard said the waves have been good and he called the spot and the time. Sorry for the late notice, but it is 6 pm on Friday and I just rolled in from Disneyland, so I have been out of the picture for a few days. If you feel like showing we will be there a few minutes early to check you in and get you in the water.

Conor

Possible Surf Practice Jan 9

2010-01-05T05:56:00.000-08:00

Hey Surf Team,

Sorry that I have not set up any practices for the vacation period. Honestly, I wanted to have a few, but I was not able to get it together. I know we are not going back until the 12^th, so if there are waves this coming weekend, I will have a practice on Saturday January 9. I will send an e-mail, blog entry and a text about the time and place later in the week.

Conor

2009-12-18T06:00:00.000-08:00

Hello Surf Team,

I have had some requests for surf practice to be held over the school break. If the waves are too good to miss, I will set up a practice or two. Chances are that I will not hold the practice at the usual time, day or location since we are all on vacation. So, have a good vacation... and stay tuned for practice information.

Conor

Surf Practice CANCELLED for Thursday December 17

2009-12-16T06:45:00.000-08:00

Surf Practice Friday, December 11

2009-12-10T19:33:00.000-08:00

So, the practice is going to be at Capitola... yes Capitola... again. Same time, 4:00. If the swell drops again or it feels like we are in Alaska, I may cancel the practice. As of Dec 7, the water quality report looks good for the area, but that does not take into account the recent rain. I really don't think anyone wants to get sick before vacation, so if it rains more tonight, that will be another factor I will consider.

Just for the record, again I have been asked about having practice at another location like Manresa. I understand wanting to go other places, but I need the practices to fit the needs of the majority of the team. This means... in my opinion, Capitola is a surf spot that will benefit the team members learning to surf more than Manresa would. So, if you are one of the more experienced surfers, I am sorry.

See you tomorrow,

Conor
