COURTNEY CONLOGUE WINS 2007 EAST COAST SURFING CHAMPIONSHIPScourtneyconlogue.jpg

VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia (Saturday, August 25, 2007) – Courtney Conlogue (Santa Ana, CA) scored a sensational victory over fellow “new guard” members Karina Petroni (Atlantic Beach, FL), Lindsey Baldwin (New Smyrna Beach, FL) and Quincy Davis (Montauk, NY) to claim the 45th Annual East Coast Surfing Championships at Virginia Beach.

The Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Qualifying Series (WQS) 1-Star event served as the final event of the 2007 ASP North America Women’s Season.  Conlogue has been a standout performer all season, and she came into Virginia Beach one of the event favorites.

“I came out here with the goal to be on the podium at week’s end and I’m really happy to have accomplished that,” Conlogue said.  “The girls were all surfing so well and to come out on top in the finals feels great.”

The progressive natural-footer took to the improved conditions at this season’s ECSC, mixing up traditional carves with futuristic fin-free maneuvers.

“The waves were so much better this year than last year,” Conlogue said.  “I always like coming to Virginia as the crowds are so enthusiastic.    It’s a great atmosphere down here.”

The ASP Regional Longboard event also kicked off its ECSC action today, with Mikey DeTemple (Indiatlantic, FL) leading the charge as he finessed his way to the Semifinals.

“The waves have been pretty fun today and they really turned on for my heat,” DeTemple said.  “I’m just stoked to still be in the hunt and hopefully I can have a good showing tomorrow.”

Tomorrow will see champions crowned in the men’s, women’s and pro junior divisions.

Local Author sponsors East Coast Wahine Championships

Published by anne August 2nd, 2007 in East Coast Wahine Championships and General. 0 Comments

Eric Nail, author of “The Wave Wranglers and the New Order of the Pyramid” - a story about a rock band of surfers that go on a quest to find out why here is an all-seeing eye and pyramid on the back of the US dollar bill, has just come on board donating ten of his books as prizes to East Coast Wahine competitors. Eric will be on the beach on Saturday August 18 signing copies as well. Here’s a little bit about his book, the beginning of a series.Wave Wranglers

“Why is there a pyramid on the back of the US dollar bill?” It’s precisely this question that started author Eric Nail on his journey to write the first book in a new series called “The Wave Wranglers and the New Order of the Pyramid.”

The story revolves around a touring rock band - the Wave Wranglers - and their chance meeting with a mermaid, who reveals to them some of the most secret and intriguing mysteries in society. She gets them to go on a quest to find out why there is an all-seeing eye and pyramid on the back of the U.S. dollar bill. Along the way, they encounter hidden symbols in American culture and how they relate to the group of people seeking an Orwellian, one-world government – the New Order of the Pyramid. “It’s what Harry Potter would probably dig in college,” states Nail.

When asked why the Wave Wranglers were also surfers, Nail, who surfs, explains that the theories of Atlantis play an integral part in the story. “There’s a huge interplay between the land and sea. Atlantis was the original one-world government, and it fell into the ocean. Why? Did it do something wrong? Surfers respect the sea, so they are much more receptive - even if is to knowledgeable mermaids. Being in a band, they have a reason to drive around and go on adventures – they just set up their tour schedule around them. Makes you wonder where Scooby-Doo got all that gas money for the Mystery Machine.”

The author says the book is appropriate for tweens and older, due to some mild violence. “Basically, it’s for anyone who is interested in ancient prophecies, the Apocalypse, secret societies, philosophy, rock music, surfing, dolphins, whales and other sea life, including mermaids.”

The novel is available through the official web site, http://www.wavewranglers.com. There you can find a link to Amazon.com, but if you order directly from the author (through Paypal), you’ll get a custom guitar pick - to be used as a bookmark.
