Hey y'all,
Yesterday (July 25th), Whit Poor and some other guys gave everyone a great show at Sherman Island. There was a photographer in the water taking shots. Just wondering if they will be posted anywhere soon.

It was a beautiful day out there and great to see so many people.
(My first time at Sherman this season).

I got a bunch from the am session, windsport should be putting some on their website. Otherwise we'll find a website to upload them too and post a link later.

I hope we can find some photos. The "unofficial" event was more just for fun than media exposure. We are calling it the Rio Vista Dirty Water Classic.
It was run at a windy afternoon in the Access Park (thanks Bob...the host). The river was flooding so a decent crowd of people gathered to cheer on the moves right next to the beach.
It was looking like Whit was going to beat his brother a second time in a row to take the double elimination until Tyson landed a perfectly clean Double Spock as time expired.
Thanks to everyone for coming out and having a good time...and thanks to judges Jason Voss and Keith...and Whit for organizing it!
No sponsors, no prizes...just a little organization and a great time!

Here are the results from the double elimination:
MEN:
1st Tyson Poor (Dirty Water Champ)
2nd Whit Poor
3rd Sofien Sehiri
4th Jordan Reid
5th Sam Neal
6th (tie) Jon Sassone
6th (tie) Casey Hauser
8th (tie) Derek Leuck
8th (tie) Matt Harvey
8th (tie) Pete DeKay

WOMEN:
1st Ingrid Larouche (Dirty Water Champ)
2nd Asma Sehiri
3rd Astrid Leitner
4th Ness
4th Tanya Ferguson

Cheers,
