[narwhal]

my birfday

[UMiamiSkim]

How far is it from South Jersey to Cape Cod? Cause it seems like a hell of a drive. Hey Noah, you think you and mike george could pick me up from the airport and give me a place to crash??

[brett00]

ive done the drive from south jersey to nauset(cape cod) and it was quite a drive. 6 or 7 hours is my best estimate

[coleberr]

it would be cool to have some of the jersey crew show up this year, get a gang together and roll out!

[skimmer-x]

I think you guys would like the event seriously. You all should come up and skim with the locs in this thing. We had a blast last year.

[RexSkimmer]

we need to seriously get the RI kids up there too. they make up half of all the new england skimmers.

yeah maybee....when mike comes down him and his other friend dima lushually stay at this hotel at nauset beach, talk to him about cuz it would be cheap to split a room with him and maybee others...but i dont have a car but where mike g lives in lexington is like prob 20 min away from logan...

[skimmer-x]

We are getting some hard work from the locals like Dave. He has secured a local eatery for a movie night/after party. He has the info on that and we will be posting it on the site soon. We have UBB sponsoring the event as well for a huge beach clean up. So come on out and spread the word to see your locs rip the shore break while helping out your local beach by cleaning it up. We hope to get some good media coverage for it as well.

Online sign ups soon as well. Dave if you want to collect entries let me know. You guys can hand them to him with the release form or mail them to me or him. We will post that info up as well.

[noahb]

nice....you guys sould show the box at the movie night, that would be tight

[l3laze]

I will be going to this as well, im from MASS, anyone from the MA/NH/MAINE states hit me up for some practice runs.

[skimmer-x]

What he said.

[skimmer-x]

Well now is time to put full focaus on this event. Broke the attendance record at Tybee and hope to do the same here. You RI guys going to show up this year?

Also I would like to have a place to crash on the Cape instead of getting a hotel. Any takers? But if I have to I have to.

[noahb]

if i had my own house i would let you guys stay in a minut...

[l3laze]

yeah im gonna be forced to get a hotel, so anyone coming from boston/worcestor area in MASS hit me up. i will ABSOLUTELY be there and im really trying to get a LOT of practice runs in seeing as waves are a little new for me, BUT SKIMMING ISNT.


DOES anyone know if some places near wellfleet require minimum days for rentals, as in can i get a room for just the night before or will they make me fork up for 3 days..???

[l3laze]

and another question :-D.

anyone have a number or someone to get in contact with other than an e-mail, i want to register and get everything straight before i go down, the website doesnt have much info.

[noahb]

they will prob have that stuff up within a week since the comp only a month away

[narwhal]

and another question :-D.

anyone have a number or someone to get in contact with other than an e-mail, i want to register and get everything straight before i go down, the website doesnt have much info.

I put up the entry stuff yesterday. So people can now sign up.

But if you need anything else hit me up wroberts@skiminvasion.com

[l3laze]

hah i was just going to say, it just popped up for me today when i went to try it, are u redoing the website? cuz a lot on there are dead or empty links and there isnt much information besides it being 25$....

im down to pay but currently the website looks a little sketchy.. hah no offence.

however on the comp page it says $25 if i register now and $25 at the beach, is this true or is it more?

[narwhal]

Yeah our shop page is a little shitty but you're going to pay though paypal. So it's 100% safe.

$25 online by July 28/$35 at the beach

[l3laze]

sounds good, ill take 2.... and a little question, (cuz this i my first time at comp) is it going to print me a ticket or will my name just be on some list when i get there(im registering my friend too)

[narwhal]

You will get a receipt emailed to you by Paypal but you don't need to bring it. When Frank shows up on that Saturday he'll have a spreadsheet with everyone already entered.

[noahb]

i will prob regret saying this but i have a dude cruise and if anyone wants to try it out at the comp just come up to me....

[skimmer-x]

I will take that offer.

[noahb]

lol

[l3laze]

yeah im definately going to have to take u up too, i was going to buy one, BUT i would LOVE to try it first,

[RexSkimmer]

well, if you insist...

[l3laze]

hah and now some other questions. just from watching a few comps online..

1. are there any set colors we need to wear, or tell what we are wearing(noticed sometimes they call colors with names)
2. is there anyway i can get/see a scorecard to see what judges rank on(ive looked all over the web and i cant find anything)
and 3. as far as this tourny for the registration it is only for a ticket and no age...is this comp just a skimboarding free for all for all ages, or will the age brackets be set up the day of the tourny.(i know this is an amateur comp.)

thanks in advance for all the info, just want to get all my shit straight before i get down....

[CaboWabo]

1. They give you your rash guard before every heat that designates your color.
2. The format for scoring is in the rules.
3. Yes there are age groups.

Pretty sure it's Child - Jr. Men - Men - Sr. Men. Not sure where Jr. Men starts, but it ends at 17, then men is 18-24, Sr Men 25+.

sry if its right in front of my face, but i dont see them. where are these rules/formats listed, checked the site and i didnt see anything, and thats cool about the rash guards. do we get to keep them?


EDIT: http://collegeskim.com/about/rules-regulations/ Is this what im looking for? just found it with a little research :-D.... but this has many other qualifications that im sure dont count in this comp.

[skimmer-x]

Thank you

[noahb]

so whats the movie night gunna be?...the box would be amazing

[l3laze]

^^^ whatchu talkin bout willis???

[skimmer-x]

Don't know yet. Maybe?

[noahb]

box! box! box!

[coleberr]

the box is long man like 2 hours kinda long for an SI video night, if you want to see it you and your buds should throw some cash in together. Just don't expect constant mind blowing skim there is alot of lifestyle type stuff especially in the first half but the second half will blow your mind

[noahb]

thats what zues told me^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^...

[narwhal]

I will have news on this in the next week or two.

[skimmer-x]

So I am getting stoked to come up there again. Can't wait. Paper entries should be ready this week. Make sure you bring the release form signed. Especially if you are under age. Online sign ups are ready.

[narwhal]

We've got a more legit payment option for those worried about the old shop:

http://skiminvasion.com/events/contests/cape-cod/

[l3laze]

HAHA much better looking, thanks... and i just booked my hotel over by truro.... anywhere near wellfleet was 180+ and a 3 night minimum..... just saying i got my room for 2 days and only 79$(truro motor lodge) no idea how it is, but screw it its only a place to sleep right?

but i will definately have to register online in the next week.

ALSO i will be staying up there the night before and of the competition..... so anyone wanting to throw a mini party or just head out and do some shit hit me up and we'll make plans..

[skimmer-x]

[l3laze]

so, not to be completely random... but why is it after this competition NOONE has talked about it/posted any videos or scores/ or post in the thread.... shit was fun, but we could talk about what to do next year to make it better.

STARTING with, is there anyway we could do the next comp at nauset.... cuz uhmmmmmm white crest was rocky,weak, and loaded with 5 yr olds.

We've tried it and with the set rules for event organizers...it's not realistic or possible at this time.

[noahb]

yeah the same day of the comp nauset was going offf, it sucks that u cant hold comps there

[M I K E V]

There's plenty of photos out there. I know Ivan, Evan, Hamish all have shots from the competition itself. I snapped a few but judged the entire competition so I'm limited. I'm sure Robs is probably in contact with them.

Here's a few from me..

[Colliman14]

Anyone who's got pictures i'd like to see what i missed out on.

[narwhal]

I will be dropping some photo goodness next week from some of the guys that were there.

[noahb]

is there guna be a vid?

[l3laze]

awesome man im glad i got this thing started, CAPE COD 2010!......

it be cool to see some videos, a couple of kids nabbed some sweet wraps in the morning.

[coleberr]

blaze who are you? what board did you have i feel like i introduced myself to most people but i am completely clueless as to who you are

[zeus]

"duuuude, i was so stoned out of my mind i dont even know what i was ridin. if u smoked as much as i did u wouldnt know either"

[l3laze]

i was there with my White and blue Zap, i fucked my hamstring up in Right before so i didnt enter. but i was thurr all day homie!

[narwhal]

Thanks big time to Evan, Ivan, Derek at Khross and Mike. More coming next week.

[coleberr]

I was one of the judges, I have the red victoria and was wearing white boardshorts

[RexSkimmer]

havn't t seen this posted yet. It's khross's vid of the contest

http://www.youtube.com/v/bj6gbn03MCE

[noahb]

its so awsome that they included everyone, not just there team riders...

[narwhal]

It's a promotional video for their company, Noah. The same company that made that event possible.

A Skim Invasion "Wrap Up" is in the works with maybe video but we got a lot on our plates right now. Did you want to see the Florida Pro/AM coverage in less than a week? Daniel has a full schedule and Cape Cod is on his list....and helping Derek with Navaree...and a mini movie....We hope to do something with the video though.

[noahb]

the florida vid was awsome..all i was saying is that the guy filming at the comp filmed everything and ive had like 10 kids come up to me or pm me on fb asking why the hell there wasent anything of them in the vid, it dosent have anything to do with you guys but imo and tons of other groms here they shoulda included everyone

[zeus]

as said before, it was for their company. quksilver doesnt put andy irons in their videos to make it fair

[coleberr]

noah that little vid had a lot of different people in it though it did focus a little more on the khross kids, conditions weren't mind blowing and they got most of the heats not everything. So i think the video is pretty fair

[noahb]

idk...i saw my brother do wrap to fs 3 shuv in the final and they dident put that in but they did put like 6 of mikes waves...like good for mike its not his fault but it just seems a little odd....but w.e
