EVENT BUSINESS PLAN AND BACKGROUND
Tow-In Surfing has been developing since the early 1990's. With the advent of
gravity-defying foot-straps fiber-glassed onto a streamlined "tow-in surfboard"
and the combination of a tow-rope and a modern PWC (Personal Water-Craft, Thrill-Craft
or Jet-Ski) to pull the tow-in surfers into very large waves (after which they
let go of the rope and surf the waves alone).... huge surf has been tackled
on a regular basis. Tow-In Surfing has allowed surfers to catch waves on outer
reefs that most times would be too big to paddle in to. The 1st "Tow-In
Surf" contests were held at Jaws (Peahi) on Maui. In 2000, there was no
prize money for the Jaws contest. In 2001, at the "Tow-In World Cup",
there was a prize purse of $100,000 with $70,000 going to tow-in team-mates
Rodrigo Resende and Garrett McNamara. At the 2003-2004 "Tow-In World Cup"
at Jaws, the winning team would have taken home $100,000. Garrett McNamara already
won $10,000 with his tow partner in the "Jaws Tow-In World Cup Expression
Session" in early January 2003, which was held when the waves at Jaws were quite
large but still not surpassing the required 20 foot minimum. The real Jaws "Tow-In
World Cup" Event did not take place in 2003-2004 or in 2004-2005. The waves
did not get big enough. It is still on hold annually as the BILLABONG at PEAHI.
We have obtained a DLNR/ Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation/ Marine Events
Permit for the last 3 years as we go into our 4th Annual Event. "Tow-In Surfers,
LLC" was successful in obtaining a DLNR/ Marine Events Permit for the 1st Ever
Tow-In Surf Event on Oahu years ago (2004-2005). The 2nd Annual event (2005-2006)
was a major success. The winter surf season 2006-2007 was somewhat smaller in
the Surf Department. We decided to do a 3rd Annual event last (2006-2007), and
landed BANK OF HAWAII as MAIN TITLE SPONSOR. Now, with the continued advent
of the DLNR Tow-In Surf License, which we have all worked long and hard for…
an event of this nature on Oahu has proven to be a truly realistic undertaking!
The "3rd Annual 'BANK OF HAWAII' North Shore Tow-In Surfing Championships 2006-2007"
was "ON"… the event was once again held last winter on Oahu's North
Shore , the world-wide epicenter of Extreme Big Wave Riding.
The "3RD ANNUAL 'BANK OF HAWAII' NORTH SHORE TOW-IN SURFING CHAMPIONSHIPS 2006-2007" was held during the WINTER SURF SEASON of 2006-2007... Holding Period from 12-15-06 until 3-31-07 (Permit was renewed every two weeks throughout the holding period until the event took place)... One Day Only... 25 foot minimum... HIGH SURF WARNING ...HAWAIIAN SCALE! Main Venues are always at Outside Haleiwa Harbor/Avalanche or Puaena Point And/Or MOBILE on the West Side of Waimea Bay... Principal OUTER REEF SURF SPOTS for this Event include Outside Puaena Point... Outside Himalayas... Outside Alligators (and Possibly the Outside Log Cabins "Cloud Break", which is just East of Waimea Bay). The "West of Waimea" tow-in surf teams hope to show how it is done in their own backyard! Participating should also likely be tow-in surf teams from Oahu, Maui, Kauai, Brazil, California, Australia, South Africa, Peru, France and other parts of the world where tow-in surfing has shown increasing popularity!
