 Here's an idea that might fly: If we could attract some really hot international riders plus Moser, et al, I might be able to sell some of local hot boardies(Mulloys, Curren, Curran, Reynolds, et al) to participate in a "judged" mano a mano with the top waveskiers as a quasi demonstration type of thing. That should generate some real exposure for the sport and could go a long way toward giving waveskiing some real recognition and authenticity.  ?

I like it! And considering the vantage point of the City (for whom I do not speak but have a close proximity to), I think they would like it too. I know the mayor has told me that he would like to see national and international contestants coming to Ventura rather than Oceanside. But what the city can do to help is another discussion completely.
Keep the comments rolling!

Another thought. Earlier this summer Patagonia hosted an event that brought attention to the Groundswell Society. This group is another offspring of the guy who helped get the Surfrider foundation started. www.groundswellsociety.org/home.phpOne of their goals is to promote the idea of 'sharing the stoke'. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to get this group involved! |

Looks like they got a major convention on the 5-6 November at Dana Point. We should definitely talk to them about this!!! Anybody want to start the ball rolling with them or shall I try and make first contact?

Si. I think we should have a meeting first. I've been trying to nail Steven down to a concrete date. Maybe you can help on that end. Give me a call (805)320-9145.

Well, I think that we have to meet this weekend, so the question is where. I haven't surfed Jalama so I would be up for the road trip, but that's 90 minutes north of Ventura and the real topic of discussion is surfing, and not just surfing.
So When and Where?

I think it's best if we meet at my place. I think the "when" must wait till we hear from MR. Moser!
