Two Days until the Norfolk Admirals first Home game of the season. I still have one pair of vouchers left to give away this week…check the right side of this page for more info.

On October 27th Walking on Water ( http://walkingonwater.com/ ) will make it’s Virginia Beach premiere at the Virginia Beach Convention Center.  This will also be a fundraiser for the family of Josh Price who passed away recently.  Please click on the link on the left for more info from Ken Hunt and help out if you can. 

Finally for today, it does look like I’ll be leaving for China on Monday morning for 3 weeks so enjoy all the surf that will probably hang around for the entire time I’m gone, and don’t forget to go to the Admirals games. You may catch Mickey McCarthy doing the photo work while I’m away. 

thanks for visiting the site,

I Predict Good surf and Free Admirals tickets

Saturday, October 13th, 2007

First Admirals Ticket: 

Check the Admirals info on the right side for a chance to win free vouchers redeemable for Red Level tickets to Any Admirals Home game for the 2007/2008 season, based on availability!

 Now my wave prediction:

Since it’s been just that type of year…Right now it looks like I’ll be heading to Beijing China on October 22nd for 3 weeks for work, so as luck would have it, I wouldn’t be surprised if you all get some good to great surf.

While I’m gone I will not be able to fill any orders so I’m probably going to shut ordering down.  I should be back in town on November 9th , depending on what’s going on I’ll try and make the Reef Contest and then Sunday’s East Coast Military Surfing Championships in Nags Head.

 A few weeks after that it’s off to Hawaii for 8 days of North Shore Photos!  Let’s get Mickey his ticket!

that is all for now….

I Missed the first couple of heats, but was there for the rest of the day. Rounds 1 and 2 are complete. Round 3 starts tomorrow morning, they’re going to make the call at 10:00 am.  Should be a good day of surfing with the talent that’s advanced on top of the guys who were seeded.
