Update 10/3/08 1:15 PM:

The Cape Fear Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation is committed to holding the Clean Water Classic as both an educational event as well as a first class surfing competition. Given the current wave conditions and the surf forecast, the contest has been postponed until 10/25 and 10/26. We will still take entries through Sat 10/25. If you have already entered the contest for 10/4 and 10/5 your entry form and fees will be rolled over to the 10/25 and 10/26 contest. If you cannot attend the new contest dates then contact us by Tuesday October 21st at capefearchapter@surfrider.org so that we can refund you your entry fee(s). Entry fees that we have on hand will be deposited on Wednesday 10/22.

Greetings from the Cape Fear and UNCW Chapters of the Surfrider Foundation!

Along with Uhuru Surfcraft, we will be hosting the Fourth Annual Clean Water Classic Surf Festival in Wrightsville Beach, NC on October 4-5, 2008 and would like to invite your organization to attend and participate in the contest and festival activities.

The Cape Fear Clean Water Classic Surf Festival is a gathering for surfers on the East Coast. It is also a forum for addressing water quality, equitable beach access, and other issues affecting the coastal environment. The Festival aims to bring like-minded surfers and ocean/water enthusiasts together to promote surfing and raise awareness of these issues.

With hurricane season at its peak, this will be an exciting opportunity to showcase some of the hottest surfing talent on the East Coast in a fun relaxed atmosphere.

Adjacent to the competition, booths and displays representing environmentally-minded organizations will be highlighting their involvement with education and conservation of the coastal environment. With the contest serving as the focal point, this will be a fantastic opportunity for everyone to network and meet individuals from all over the East Coast with similar interests.

Following the first day of the contest, an outdoor banquet will be held at the Landing in Wrightsville Beach, NC . Relax and unwind with great food, music and entertainment, like-minded people and lots of fun!

After the successes of the first, second, and third Annual Cape Fear Clean Water Classics, we are anxious to continue the tradition with another great event. Should you wish to receive more information or would like to donate your time and/or resources, please feel free to contact the Cape Fear Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation.

We hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Sean Ahlum, Surfrider Foundation, Cape Fear Chapter
