Corona Event in Puerto Rico Postponed until November
Posted: (10/18)
Event Director Werner Vega has been monitoring all the wave forecasts and consulting with marine forecasters on the island and issued the following statement. "All the information we have gathered indicates that small leftovers from the current swell will slowly fade during the coming week, becoming flat for the scheduled event dates next Saturday and Sunday, October 25 and 26."
"Due to this scenario we have decided to postpone the event until November 22 and 23 in hopes of better conditions at that time. It does not make sense to set up all the contest infrastructure and then have to postpone at the last moment. We also want to give the visiting competitors an opportunity to reschedule their flights. Therefore, we have rescheduled the event dates for November 22 and 23. Is not an easy decision to make, but "Mother Nature" controls our playing field, and we want the competitors and spectators to enjoy the quality of surf that Puerto Rico is famous for."
The entries for the event will remain open for those who still want to enter the event, and the new entry deadlines are as follows:
All entries should be received with payment no later than Wednesday, November 12, 2014.
After Wednesday, November 12 a late entry fee of $35.00 will be charged.
Entry deadline is Saturday, November 15, 2014 at 4:00 PM.
Entries will not be accepted after Saturday, November 15, 2014 at 4:00pm.
Sincerely,
Werner Vega,
Event Director
