Facebook.com/rockfishderby.
Go follow us. It is still an unofficial page, but as we gain interest we will get more sponsors.

The tournament is a go. We are just working tirelessly to get all the paperwork and logistics worked out.

I can donate a 30x60 event banner just send me the layout with the tournament artwork and sponsor`s artwork in vector or high resolution jpeg`s. I might be able to do some other items such as custom u.v.50 gaiters / u.v. 50 fishing shirts or decals.

p.m. your # if interested.

PM sent.

Seriously, I can't express how powerful a community can be when they come together to achieve a similar goal. Theres been some "hating" on what has become of the kayak and fishing community but this just goes to show we are a great group of like minded individuals.

Thank you thank you thank you!

The Wounded Warrior Project as just approved our application to have this be an official, sanctioned, benefit event. :D:D:D:D

This doesn't mean Wounded Warrior is putting on the project, simply that they acknowledge us as official supporters and have granted us permission to hold an event and use their name. As well as sending us tons of SWAG!

Thats awesome

Already have some drafts mocked up for banner art waiting for approval. Once I get the thumbs up all work on a more refined final draft for print. All the way on board for this project!

Neill Send me an email directly so I can attach the forms for HOW just like the WWP ones.

Also I sent out some more sponsorship feelers today.

It's looking the value of the Swag Bags might actually be valued higher than the actual entry free. We have at the very least, gauranteed, 10 custom built rods to give away as raffles and prizes. M&M, Salty Dawg, Matthew Change, and Jeff B are all wrapping sticks for us.

Most likely, first place in the boat section, and first place in the kayak section will each get a set of 3 custom built rods.

We are in talks with some other great sponsors. This project is going to be more than a backyard tournament. We are booking a nice venue, live entertainment and fun activities. Vendors will be there giving away swag and promoting products. There will be a TON of discount coupons in each swag bag for local companies.

The official tournament shirt is going to have great artwork, and Charles from Kelp Clothing is doing a special run, limited edition Wounded Warrior Project design for us, which will will be selling. It will be printed on a UV protective, long sleeve fishing shirt. All the profits from those shirt sales with go directly to the charity.

I can't explain how excited I am about this project!

On that note, lets go ahead and add Baja Fish Gear to the official sponsor list. :D
