NSSA SOUTWEST EXPLORER SEASON #1 AND #2 - POSTPONED

Monday, November 11, 2024 | Written by Gayline Clifford

NSSA SOUTHWEST EXPLORER SEASON POSTPONED

 This is to inform you that the NSSA Southwest Conference has made the decision to postpone the Explorer Season events #1 and #2 scheduled for this weekend (Nov16-17) due to unforseen staffing shortages that are impacting our ability to deliver a high quality contest experience for our membership.

EXPLORER EVENT 1 AND 2 NEW DATES:

JANUARY 4-5, 2025 -STILL AT HB PIER

 Due to the change of date, we have lowered the championship qualification to physically surf in 2 event (from 3).   But you would still need to pay for the rest in the Southwest Conference or surf in the Gold Coast Explorer for the other 4.

If you have already paid, your fees will automatically be transferred to the new dates.

We apologize for any inconvenience.  Thank you for your cooperation.

For any questions, please email Southwest Conference Director Gayline Clifford at gclifford@nssa.org
