42nd New England Mid-Winter Surfing Championship
Wednesday, February 3, 2010 at 1:23PM Yeah that's right, surfing doesn't stop for the true blues just because the water is 32 degrees and the weather is in the single digits. Well ok maybe for some it does, and others (like myself, and all New Englanders) get selective, like those spoiled West coast 75 and sunny peeps from San Diego.
If you wanna brave the weather like many of the diehard surfers of New England go check out the 42nd New England Mid-Winter Surfing Championship on February 20th at Narragansett Town Beach, in Narrangansett RI. Sign-ups will be in the morning of competition from 9:30 to 10:30 and entry fee for those interested is $20.
Along with being a hard core contest, it is infact the longest running cold water surfing competition in the WORLD!!! Take a flashback trip to 1968 where there was no "thermal barrier" wet suits and top-o-tha-line neoprene, and you would have witnessed the first. This event just reiterates the fact you gotta love it to do it.

Competition for this past weekend was postponed for the Mid-Winter Surf Championship, but it looks like we got a helluva system (or 2!!!!!) coming our way which could give us good surf for next weekend. Make sure you check out the comp going down!
