UCF Surf Team Tryouts
UCF SURF TEAM TRYOUTS!!!
UCF SURF TEAM will be holding their 2nd tryouts for the upcoming 2010-2011 NSSA COLLEGIATE season. This is a great opportunity to be apart of a nation wide competitive team. Competitions occur regularly once a month against other college teams throughout the EAST coast region, and then followed up with NATIONAL’S in CALIFORNIA. We are looking for any age, male/female ucf students that are fully enrolled in the upcoming school year. We need LONGBOARDERS as well as SHORT-BOARDERS, and especially LADIES.
BEACH SIGN UP ONLY AND NO KNOCK OUT HEATS!
You will be judged on your individual performance.
You must also join the surfUCF club to tryout.
2nd Tryout
When: SEPTEMBER 12th
Time: 8:30 am
Location: Bethune park, New Smyrna Beach FL
This will be ran just like the 1st tryouts. Plan on coming out for the full day as there well be two rounds of heats where everyone will be surfing twice. We will also have MONSTER ENERGY drinks for you.
>>>> MAKE SURE YOU BRING YOUR DUES THIS TIME!!!!!! <<<<<
If you didn’t bring your $50 club dues to the first tryout they need to be brought to this one, if not paid at the club meeting before coming to tryout.
***Remember competition surfing is different than free surfing. You usually have 15 min to show what you’ve got. You will be judged on your most critical maneuvers, in the most critical part of the waves, with the best flow and power. ***

Firewire Demo
Ever wanted to try out a Firewire? Right now in the shop we have a 5’10″ Firewire Spitfire with the Rapidfire technology that you can demo out for just $30 per day *.
This board is super fun to ride. Adam, our resident ding guy and owner of Surfboard Medic, took advantage of the demo and took the board out for the Hurricane Colin swell and raved about it so much, he ended up taking one home a few days later. “Super easy to paddle, the board just felt really lively with a lot of spring. Fast with tons of drive, it was easy to boost over sections or slide the tail around.”
The Spitfire combines a diamond tail and step-down tail rail, giving the Spitfire the tail bite of a much thinner board, without losing the Dominator’s speed and flotation. The Spitfire offers the same 5/4/3 fin options and a low entry rocker for easy paddling.
With plenty of waves inbound, come in the shop and grab it before someone else does!
* Demo cost can be put towards purchase of the board
Hurricane Danielle Hype
Looks like Hurricane Danielle is still on track to give us a good swell. The models are definitely pushing for a little earlier start on this swell now, so expect some fairly solid long period swell to be arriving by mid-day Saturday.
Further out, it’s still looking like potential mayhem for the middle to end of the week. Can you say “combo swell”??????

OSP with Poptart
Headed out to OSP with Poptart and crew for the day a couple weeks ago working on the upcoming team page. The heat index was around 100 degrees, but we still managed to get a super good session and have a good time. Since I have met Poptart his skating has grown a lot. He is still a little guy, but his tricks have matured. Check out a hard days work from Jake, and look for this ripping video along with photos and an interview from him later this month.
BERT WINS MANNY MANIA
Go here to see the story. Congrats to Bert! He is seriously killing it! We couldn’t be more hyped to have him as part of our team.
