THE GAUNTLET WAS THROWN. WILL SANO SURF TEAM ALL STARS

pick it up? In a daring maneuver,TEAMBIGKOOK, slammed the

challenge on Al Gee's dilapidated picnic table. Gee said this

was swell, but he must check with the BOD for their blessings.

Apparently BOD is adamantly opposed to a sports contest unless

they have license to sell 50th Anniversary Club shirts, no

matter how pricey they are. Somehow, Seymour's San Onofre's

Champion of Legends"" killed any, and all, chance SOSC had for

making a monstrous "windfall profit" because they wouldn't

swallow their pride and sanction Seymour's extraveganza.

By doing this, Seymour made in excess of $11,500.00 in

shirts, curios, Tikis, amulets, and Surfrider Tees, money that

should have gone to SOSC treasury for their Club's trophy

presentation. Someone made a fortune off Seymour's event, as

they gave salad bowls as trophies from .99 store in Westminister.

You all read yesterday's BLOG, explaining how judges, not the

surfers, decide the outcome. I recall doing a NSSA World Tour

Champioship. Before entering the water, this kid walks over to

the Judges Pavilion, stops for a moment, looked up for an advan-

tage asking, "What are you judges looking for?" To which Munoz

answered, "Coffee and doughnuts."
