Thanks for visiting the ESKA Site to check on the progress of the US East Surf Kayak Team and the 2009 World Surf Kayak Championships in Santa Cruz Portugal. The current status is as such: Surf is big and clean and we have had some excellent days of practice. Competition begins tomorrow, Saturday July 25th at 9am. Each day we will compete from 9am-7pm and the contest will be complete next Friday evening. Enjoy some photos and come back soon to see how we’ve done.
