WDSC Vote

USDSA needs your vote for the location and date of the 2009 World Deaf Surfing Championships (WDSC).

There is a panel in Hawaii that decides when contests happen, so the exact date of the contest is not left to USDSA to decide.

Out options are to either have the contest during the summer (end of July to August) on the south shore, or during the winter (November to December) on the north shore. USDSA requests the general time frame, but the exact contest dates are decided by the Hawaii government.

Ray Rapozo, WDSC Contest Director, explains the pros and cons of north shore versus south shore is this vlog.

Paul McDonnel in a Bad Place at the Pipeline

"Here's a picture of a bad place to be at pipeline... :-O That's what happens when one sits deeper than everybody else consistently. Only one other surfer out that day. About 15 bodyboarders. Pipe was crazy and out of control. All the pros and locals were sitting on the beach gawking at the waves. A lifeguard tried to keep me from paddling out. I don't blame him - Haole and on a longboard no less."
