CSF Pro-Am Fam Surf Contest Lights Up Oceanside Pier





CSF Pro-Am Fam Surf Contest Lights Up Oceanside Pier

PRESS RELEASE

Under sunny December skies with light winds the Christian Surfing Federation set up shop this past weekend on the South side of the Oceanside Pier.

Billed a "Family Fest" it did not disappoint as there were surf divisions for all levels and age surfer- from top pros to mini-groms.

On the beach between heats kids, along with the help of some dads, tarps and suds, constructed an epic boogie board slip 'n slide- designed for launching huge airs. Happy to report no injuries, a bunch of wacky rides and lots o laughs were had by all. After the slip 'n slide groms were seen playing dodgeball and riding those impossibly fun but massive Hamboard skateboards throughout the pier zone- not at the same time, of course.

Nate Wells, youth Pastor at Las Flores Church in Carlsbad delivered a Christmas message, while Steve Harmon of Grace Chapel played beautiful worship music that filled the coastal area with warmth.

The action in the water-

The guys in the Pro Division put on a clinic on ripping chest high surf, helping inspire the other competitors to see what was possible.

In the Pro Final was Paul Pugliesi, Ausin Ware, J.D. Lewis and Christian Saenz.

It was a tight affair throughout the 20 minute heat- as each pro had managed two mid level scores. However with time getting tight and needing a score J.D. Lewis found a solid left hander allowing him to unleash a series of vertical jams that earned him a 9 point ride and a slim victory over second place finisher Austin Ware. Taking Third was Christian Saenz and fourth Paul Pugliesi.

So many great moments throughout the day in each division- check the results below and all the photos at www.yourideitishootit.com

Many Thanks to all our sponsors, participants and most of all- our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for another great day at the beach.
