 October
17, 2008- The Professional Longboard Association announced today that
they are organizing their first ever, “Amateur Charity Challenge”, to
be held at the PLA Championships on November 14-16 at the Huntington
Beach Pier.
“The Amateur Charity Challenge was created not
only to help build and strengthen the Amateur division at PLA events,
but also to help raise awareness for many of the charitable foundations
that these Surf Clubs compete for. We felt it was a great way to get
the public more involved with each of these charities.” Andrew
Pettersen, PLA Event Coordinator.
As Pettersen explains, “The
“ Challenge” is simple, the contest will be judged and awarded
individually just like any contest, but for a club to win the overall
team prize and opportunity to donate event registration proceeds ( %
TBD) to their charity, the PLA will total the TOP 2 scores in any age
category throughout the weekend. This allows surfers both young and
experienced to help their club win. It also gives each club an equal
playing field, in that, if one clubs shows up with 10 people and
another shows up with 20. The winning club will also be awarded a
special plaque for their contest victory.”
The PLA feels if
this “Charity Challenge” is a success at their last event, than they
would proceed to continue the “Challenge” throughout the 2009 season.
