Team UNCW

WB Surf Camp wants to send out a big congratulations to the UNCW Surf Club for taking the NSSA Regionals down in Florida last weekend!

The team’s final tally reached 119 points at the end of the weekend in Sebastian Inlet, Fl, where the second place finisher reached only 68 points! The contest serves as a qualifier for Nationals this June in Salt Creek, CA where the team plans to bring home the gold.  We have been working extremely hard to master our skills and it showed true this past weekend with contest announcers, officials and spectators all giving UNCW great responses and praise.

“We are amped to represent our school and our city on the West coast, so please spread the word of UNCW’s success!!”

The event has become so popular that there will be off-site parking. Park your vehicle in the old Cinema 6 movie theatre parking lot on Oleander Drive (near Tidal-Creek Co-op), and take a trolley from there to the park for FREE!!! The trolley will run every 20 minutes from 12:00-6:00.

This year’s theme is Earth Day 2010 – REDUCE. It is the 40th Anniversary of the very first Earth Day, so Wilmington is taking it back to the basics which are: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. The city decided to go with REDUCE for their theme, because if you can reduce from the beginning, then you’ll have less to deal with in the end (recycle). They also will be bringing specific attention to the reduction of trash, mainly plastic, and how it is collecting in gyres that exist in each of the Earth’s oceans.
