A Mirthfull & Royal Stand-Up Paddle Surf Event
in support of the SanOnofre Foundation |
|
|
The King and Queen of Dogpatch went off in 2-3 foot surf
Saturday May 16, 2009 at San Onofre State Beach. Legends and beginner stand-up
paddleboard surfers alike from California and Hawaii joined the local standouts
at Dogpatch to surf it out for silver dog bowl trophies. The raucous and
hilarious stand-up paddleboard (SUP) surf contest directly benefited the newly
formed San Onofre Foundation.
“We achieved our aims of having a great time and helping
out the San Onofre Foundation. In this contest surfers displayed more than pure
surfing and paddling ability many showed panache and aloha in their spirit and
style. We had costumes of all types and several surfed surprisingly well with
their dogs” says Rainbow Sandals owner Jay “Sparky” Longley.
“On behalf of Rainbow Sandals we want to thank
everyone who participated in the King & Queen of Dogpatch” says Rainbow Sandals
event coordinator Barrett Tester. “It was a chance to raise awareness and
necessary funds for the San Onofre Foundation’s vital mission of providing
education and interpretive services for the California State Parks at San
Onofre”. It is great that the Dogpatch SUP community was able to do this and
have some fun.”
John and Manya Clark of San Clemente were crowned King &
Queen of Dogpatch for showing true aloha spirit and family fun. John surfed as
the King himself, Elvis, and their ten year old daughter Alleanna made the final
in the Wahine Intermediate division.
Dogpatch is becoming a mecca for SUP surfers. It is
located at the far south end of the San Onofre State Beach surfing area. The
towers of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station are near by.
