This year’s Kids’ Surf Tournament was held on Saturday, September 3. This was on the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend, as (almost) always, but what made this year’s tournament unusual was that Nightmare in Strathmere had been postponed for a week by Hurricane Irene, meaning Club members really had to stretch to run both events in the same day. They came through and then some!
We had a great turnout of some 145 kids registered. Chairman Ed DiMarcantonio, along with co-chair Mike Olley, ran the tournament like they had been doing it for years. Many thanks to Bob and Kathy Adam, who did run the tournament for many years, for their prior organization of the event and coaching.
And the winners were:
First place: Grace Rigler, age 10, 17″ striper
Second place (tie): Noelle Perry, age 11, 10″ spot, and
Rachel Botcher, age 9, 10″ drum
Chairman Ed D. would like to thank all of our sponsors, paticularly “My Wife’s Rod and Reel”, and all of the Club members and their family members who volunteered this year and every year to make the tournament the great success it was!
