Jen is working on gaining media attention through various magazines and plans to be in touch with a local news crew when the time nears. While doing so, it would be helpful to have a short summary of your surfing background. Please send that with two pictures – one close up (of your face) and one surfing picture. This will also be used for portfolios and sponsorship letters.Email bio and pictures

Aloha!The World Deaf Surfing Contest (WDSC) Committee met last week and there are many things to share.Applications to obtain surf contest permits are pending. We are attempting to reserve two surf breaks on the south shore – the second reserved break is our “Plan B”.Our number one choice remains Ala Moana Bowls on the south shore. We are also applying for a permit at Kewalos on the south shore

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.

"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

I was riding my bike to the beach to play beach volleyball. I nearly rode my bike towards the rocks while watching perfect peeling waves at the jetties. There were bunch of photographers lined up there taking pictures of the surfers riding in the barrels. The riders kept on getting barreled, one after another without fail. The waves were so good that I got stoked just from watching. I bet the
