Where do the net proceeds go?

The money will go directly to Suncoast Surfrider Foundation and we are going to donate 50% of the net proceeds to charitable organizations that are helping “oiled animals” affected by the oil spill.  The other 50% of the money will be allocated for water testing kits, and used to address other chapter needs. Please Email Ron at ifeelswell@yahoo.com for more info on this event!

Bring some friends get free Jack Johnson concert tickets!!!!

There will be 2 tickets to the Jack Johnson concert given to the person who brings the most friends/colleagues/co-workers/bums off the street to play in the tournament(min 3 to qualify)
