Online Video Contest to Begin August 1, 2008
LAKEWOOD, N.J. (July 1, 2008) − Ergophobia, a surf and skate apparel brand for men and women, is pleased to announce its partnership with TransWorld SURF magazine in hosting the online surf video contest “America’s Next Top Grommet”.  The contest, a spoof off of the ever-popular TV show “America’s Next Top Model”, will give up-and-coming surfers the chance to score a paid sponsorship with Ergophobia.

The Northeast Regional Championships were held in Montauk, NY where the wind and foul weather couldn't keep the crowd away.  It was the most consistent contest in recent memory with the waves holding up even on the day of the finals - chest high & glassy.  While the competitors were catching good surf, the Transworld SURF and SoBe sponsors built a bon fire on the beach to try to keep everyone warm.

For the first time in its history, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Championships were hosted in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Boasting a crowd of around 450 competitors and spectators, the competition quickly mounted as the waves were driven in from an off shore low pressure system. There were plenty of waves as well as activities for the three day event.

The 2008 Southeast Regional Championship were held in New Smyrna Beach, Florida on April 12-14.  The waves stayed solid throughout most of the contest allowing the "Best of the Best" in each Southeast district a solid performance and a chance to advance to the USA Surfing Championships in August followed by The ESA Eastern Championships in September.
