LOCAL NEWS:
If you are thinking about a trip to the North Shore this winter, and would like to polish up your technique or talents, you may want to visit the SunsetSuratt Surf School. "Uncle Brian" Suratt has been teaching and coaching for over 40 years and has helped hundreds of wave riders take their surfing to the next level. For more info, or to book a session in Hawaii, contact: http://www.sunsetsurattsurfschool.com/

The famous Katin Pro Am Team Challenge, January 20 – 24, 2009 in Huntington Beach (North Side) is ON!

Please consider assisting Boarding House Mentors in their efforts to again send inner-city kids to the North Shore as part of the Aloha Ambassador Scholarship Fund. Last year BHM successfully sent two kids from South Los Angeles to Hawaii to participate in Hawaiian culture, surfing and additional learning experiences. BHM is an entirely volunteer based operation that is asking for the support of the greater surfing community to help it send two more youth participants this year. Please visit them at www.boardinghousementors.org or you can mail a check to: 2633 Lincoln Blvd., #400, Santa Monica, CA 90405.

What’s your surf spot worth? Help us find out. Researchers at UCLA are conducting a survey of surfers who surf at California surf spots to evaluate their worth. You can help by visiting this link and filling out the survey: http://www.beachology.com/surf. Your participation can help us better protect and manage California surf spots in the future.

A new SurfMoms site geared towards moms who surf recently popped up on the web. The basic idea is to swap surfing time for beach babysitting time. All the info can be found on our site at: http://surfmamas.ning.com

On Sunday, Sunday, November 16th, The Surf Talk Radio Network sits down with Chris Malloy. A travel segment to El Salvador follows. Listen online 8am PST at www.thenewq1045.com for more info go to www.surftalkradio.com
