14th Annual Gathering of the Tribes Surf Event comes to a Roaring Close
Church Beach, California
January 9 and 10, 2010.
While the eastern half of America suffered through a week-long historic arctic blast, Southern California enjoyed one of its best winter weekends yet. The 14th annual Gathering of The Tribes surf contest not only had perfect weather, but incredible waves as well.
Perhaps legendary surfer Henry Ford said it best, “We are blessed to be here, together we are enjoying what California is all about. It’s the perfect combination of friends and waves”.
The classic winter event is the annual kick-off program of the Coalition of Longboard Surf Clubs competitive season. With four to seven foot waves at Church Beach, one of California’s premiere point breaks, the almost flawless conditions provided an exceptional beginning to this year’s season. The surfing was inspired to say the least.
The contest featured a little bit of everything, from short boarding, stand up paddle surfing (SUP), longboarding, and tandem surfing. There was not a heat where someone surfing did not get an applause or big cheer from the beach.
The weekend program kicked off Friday evening at the Surfing Heritage Foundation where the Doheny Club donated a thousand dollars to the Foundation to help further its goals in preserving the history and culture of surfing. The competitive surfing award ceremonies were held throughout the weekend on the beach. For individual and team results, pictures and more, check Doheny club’s website at http://www.dohosurf.org/.
The Coalition of Surfing Clubs (CSC) is an international organization that represents the interests of surfing clubs throughout California and the world. It acts as a united voice to address issues related to coastal water quality, beach access, development, and legislative policy. The Coalition represents over 10,000 surfers of all ages and exists for the betterment of the citizenship of the surfer, to improve clean water locally and globally and to promote the sport of surfing.
The Doheny Longboard Surfing Association is an organization comprised of individuals dedicated to the enjoyment of board surfing in a clean and natural environment. In relation to that philosophy, the DLSA will act as a support group to other organizations with similar views and objectives. For additional information contact Denny Michael at dlsa10@hotmail.com
