011 months ago
Sponsored by Billabong the International Surfing Association World Surfing Games will be in Panama at Playa Venao, from June 25 – July 3, 2011.
Over two weeks, 200 of the world’s best surfers from over 28 countries will surf Panama’s beautiful left and right hand breaks. Four Open Men, two Open Women and two longboarders from each country entered will battle it out for an ISA medal for their country. In each of the three divisions, competitors will surf to win individual gold, silver, bronze and copper medals. The Fernando Aguerre ISA World Team Trophy will go to the nation that achieves the highest points total.
The Republic of Panama is a beautiful country. When I went there we travelled to both coasts and the Panama Canal, and was amazed at the idyllic scenery, beaches and the fun of Panama city. Well worth a visit.

Kelly Slater to receive the key to Surf City USA
011 months ago
On the 21st June 2011 Kelly Slater will be presented with the key to the city of Huntington Beach, Surf City, USA. This ceremonial honour is found in cities across the world and the idea of a key is thought to come from times when cities were walled and gates locked at night or in times of trouble. Those awarded the keys had free movement and could come and go as they please. Nowadays the honour can be a real ceremonial key and a celebration ceremony for the recipient. Kelly Slater is a lucky man as he already has some city keys! He has received the key to the city of his local town, Cocoa Beach, Florida, and that of of San Clemente.
