Northeast Regional Championships

May 15-17, 2009
Belmar, NJ
Hosted by Central New Jersey District

350 surfers from New England, New York, New Jersey and the Great Lakes will vie for coveted invitations to the
2008 Eastern Surfing Championships (The Easterns) and the USA Surfing Championships.

Contest slots filled by invitation only. Competitors must advance through their district to be eligible for the
Regional Championship.

The Adult events will be concluded Friday, or sometime Saturday. The Adult Awards will take place at the
Contestants' Banquet Saturday evening.
There will also be a raffle held at the Banquet for product donated by various sponsors and supporters.
The Youth Awards will take place Sunday following the conclusion of the Finals, weather permitting.
Should weather be inclement, Youth Awards will be held at a sheltered location to be finalized.

Friday May 15th: 
Today's start... three hour FOG delay. Did the Weather Channel predict this?  Did the local weather guessers predict this?
The answer to both, was an emphatic no!

So, the finest from the ESA's Northeast states descended upon Belmar, New Jersey, home to the Central Jersey district,
to fight the fight and battle for some of the tastiest waves so far this spring. The fog finally surrendered about 2PM and spectators
were finally treated to the show they’d been missing.

Most of the adult divisions ran to completion today. Check out advancements, as all heats should be posted by 9PM.
