August 9, 2004 CONTEST UPDATE.

The SOSC BOD extended an invitation for BIGKOOK to open the contest
with the Invocation and Benediction immediately preceding the opening heat,
consisting of glassy surf conditions for Junior boys and girlies under eight years
riding a canvas inflatable surf mat. This is the judges favorite event. It's
guaranteed glass, and not to far from shore. An additional heat is added for old
people, (62 plus) titled "Assisted Living Heat" scheduled for 4:20 PM. Another
setback, Tony's El Camino Catering Service will not be allowed on the beach after
10:00 AM both days. An undisclosed judge mentioned, be first in your heat
to catch a wave, stand up, do terrible, and the judges will give you a low score.
Judges always base the heat on the first wave caught, and judge accordingly
thereafter. Catch your second wave, tear it up, and you'll advance for sure. As in
all contests, judges tend to be "tough", but one judge is the "surfer's friend".
You all know his name. Never ask a judge prior to your heat what he's
looking for, the only thing on his mind is "coffee and doughnuts".
One more time: The line will be unmercifuly long both days. Don't be shut out.
