The next contest needs a crew

There is over $1,250 in prize money on the table and a date waiting on swell. What is missing is the people to run it, and enough riders to make it worth running. There are six jobs open.

Wake Me Up When September Comes 2

Sun, Sep 29, 20247th Avenue Beach, Belmar, NJ

The autumn festival’s second running, with a Custom X bodyboard for the Charger of the Day in each division and heats of four riding for a place in the next round. It never got in the water.

Called off on the morning. Strong onshore winds stopped the waves forming and the club judged it unsafe to run heats.
