Which is why he's endeavoring on a newfangled surf contest idea. He's calling it 'LBI Winter Warriors' and it'll take place sometime during the month of March this year. With a true waiting period, he will look to utilize the best late winter/early spring storms the Atlantic can dish out—and cold and barreling will be the ideal conditions because this thing is strictly a barrel riding contest.
It's limited to the first 24 entries and will consist of only LBI locals. Depending on the swell it will take place at either 73rd Street in Harvey Cedars or 25th Street in Surf City. Conor is certainly mixing things up. This is the start of something revolutionary in the realm of competitive surfing, especially on the local scene. Here's Conor's description of the event, and stay tuned to our site and LBI Winter Warriors Facebook page for updates:
NOT A NORMAL CONTEST...
- Nobody loses or gets knocked out of heats..
- There are 3 rounds, 6 heats in each round, and 4 surfers in each heat. Each heat runs for 20 min.
- The surfer's single highest wave score from each round is added up at the end and the highest wins and so on. So each surfer will have 3 scores at the end of the day. The main goal is to get a really good score in each round.
- Everyone has an equal opportunity.
- Entry fee is 110$.
- The top 3 surfers at the end of the day will be rewarded $$$$.
- If this year turns out good then next years waiting period will be a 3 month waiting period with the top 5 getting money.
- Its going to be BIG COLD and BARRELING, those 3 things are Guaranteed
- If you CHARGE and love to TUBE RIDE than this is contest for you.
