Starting a wakesurf comp in Sacramento

Hey everyone

I was wondering how hard is it to put on a competition in Sacramento CA. I would like to see more competitions for wake surfing, wake skate and wakeboarding in our area.

Thanks

Go Kit! Put something together!!

How about a kinde of a wakesurf happening. Not a real organized event but just a fun get together where everyone rides and one boat can take runs with judges. I will sponsor $200.00 for 1st place

I think that a lot of people are looking for a fun get together and another excuse to party.

There are a number of issues associated with staging a contest. Not the least of which is the insurance. Venue location, securing permits, generating sponsorships, insurance for the event, spectator's, boats, participants, etc.

The EASIEST way to achieve all of that is by forming a club and having them provide the sanctioning of the event. The NWL is probably the most cost effective way to do that and by forming your own club, you are able to dictate the when, where and how components.

HOWEVER, you have to undergo their specific training for safety, etc. That means attending their courses based upon when they are available.
The AWSA will gladly share our rules and recommendations for staging an event, however, they are wakesurf specific.

I would very much appreciate the opportunity to work with you Kit as all of us focus on expanding the sport.

Thanks for all the feed back. Tom I will hold you to the $200 and Jeff let try and make this happen

Thanks
Kit

Hey everyone! That's a great idea Kit We also need some wakesurf comps in SoCal, I'm wondering if Canyon Lake Wakeboard Club would be an option? Also would any people from up North be willing to make the trek?

We go to Minnesota for contests, so SoCal would be a cinch. Also, if you need any help with the organization, my folks would be more than willing to assist. BTW, congrats on another win up at Villa Lagos.

If you make up to our events I would be more then happy to come down there.

Thanks Jeff the tournament was a lot of fun, we all had a great time! I'll see if I can get a hold of the president of CLWC, and figure out some details. Thanks as always, and I'm looking forward to your next comp.

Hey Kit! I'll see you there.
