Fellow ESA members: In a nearly unanimous vote by the Board of Directors last month, the ESA adopted a new policy of 4-man heats for The Easterns® in Cape Hatteras this year. This is most definitely an exciting progression for the ESA and its competitive members. We will be doing what the surf industry has been requesting for awhile now, without losing the core principles and values the Eastern Surfing Association has always stood for and strived hard to maintain. We are excited to bring this good news to you, and ask that you follow our website at www.surfesa.org and click on "Competition" for all the latest updates on The Easterns® and this new format. On a related note regarding Cape Hatteras, we are strictly listing our contest dates (as we have in the past) as "tentative" until we receive our permits from the National Park Service. The permits have been applied for, and we are awaiting approval. Only when permits are received will we delete the word "tentative" from the website. Good surf comes to those who wait. See you at the beach! Debbie Hodges Executive Director Eastern Surfing Association | | 2009 The Easterns® Sponsors
