HOW is a great organization for our needy warriors, I am in, paid for and hope to see some of you there to support our troops.

Makobob

Signing up this Friday.

Folks we would love to have you come out and support HOW through this Benefit tournament. Please do note that although we will likely have some of our wounded participate (some are event active members of BWE) this is mainly a Benefit so we will not be needing any loaner gear or volunteers to pair up with vets (although we can always use them for tournament related stuff!).

For those who do not know what HOW is....
How is an Award winning non-profit founded to help our wounded servicemen and servicewomen to relax and rehabilitate through the healing powers of kayak fishing. We are a 100% paddlesports based organization that spans nearly 50 chapters in the US plus Canada, the UK, and Australia.

The funds raised from this tournament will be used for our local SoCal chapter, the NorCal Chapter, and others who need the financial help.

At the event (and also Fred Hall and RockFish Derby(hopefully) there will also be present the 3rd annual KFS HOW Benefit kayak raffle. This year we are raffling a Jackson Cuda 14 fully equipped by Raymarine, YakAttack, Werner Paddles, and many others. Total value of the kayak is rising daily and is pushing 4k. Tickets will be for sale at the event for 5.00 each with no limit as to how many can be bought. Drawing for this raffle will be on July 4th.

On behalf of Myself, the HOW team, and OEX team we hope to see you folks at this event. You really can not support a better non-profit than HOW though a kayak fishing tournament. Come out and help to support HOW and their kayak fishing program by doing what you love- Kayak Fishing.

I just paypaled my payment , see you guys there, I got 2 months to get my knee better.:cheers1:

OH, wish man, already booked for Central Coast Rockfish Opener...

Boundaries will be anywhere within the harbor. You may not go beyond the end of the 5 MPH zone within the channel.

Big thanks to Margarita Mike for offering to weigh fish on his boat :luxhello::luxhello::luxhello:

IN:reel::you_rock::cheers1:

Just signed up and looking forward to the event, look forward to flagging down Mike on his weigh boat!
:reel:

Roger, I'll be happy to weigh your fish.
This is going to be a great event. :reeling:

LET'S GO GUYS, less than a month away, OPEN your wallets, you might even win. Hard to believe only 8 have paid so far. Hope to see you all there.

I'm in! Hopefully the yak is in on time.

Chops if not I have one for you to use for sure.

Guys we REALLY need you to pre-register! Without having a count before the event we have no idea how much food to get.

One thought on how to fix this is that folks that pre-register get in on the awesome Carne or Fish tacos we will do while those who do not will get hot dogs. Help us out please and register online so that you can have real food!

cheap chicken hot dogs, buns and mustard.......that's it! :biggrinjester:
