Contest officials have been
monitoring the first HIGH SURF WARNING swell of the season. Due to the
associated shear line of bad weather this swell will be of poor quality and
not big enough to consider the competition for the swell period. More large
swells are forecasted for next week. For updated information visit

Tow-In Surfers LLC Co-Founder and North Shore Tow-In Executive Director Alec
"Ace" Cooke is very proud to announce the beginning of the 06/07 North Shore
Event's holding period. This year's event will take place "One Day Only" on
the biggest and best day of surf between December 15, 2006 and March 31,
2007. The big wave tow-in Surf contest is set to take place on one of the
two main big wave outer reef spots over a mile outside of Haleiwa Harbor
known as Outside Avalanche and Outside Puaena Point.
The event is sanctioned by the APT and carries a prize purse of $25,000. The
top winning tow-in teams will receive the lion's share of the loot and both
of the tow-in team partners will get matching trophies. Garrett McNamara and
Kealii Mamala are last year's event defending champions, stoked as they
return to Hawaiian Surf fresh from winning the recent Nelscott Reef Tow-In
Classic in Oregon on December 8, 2006!
This year's Main Invite List and Alternate List reads like a who's who of
tow-in surfing! With Ikaika Kalama and Makua Rothman meeting fellow Buttons
Hawaii team riders Garrett and Kealii in the pit, anything could happen.
Local Hawaiian Teams from Oahu, Maui, Big Island and Kauai will take on
world contenders from California, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, South Africa,
Europe, Great Britain and elsewhere!
All competitors of the North Shore Tow-In Event will be battling for limited
slots to compete in the Mexico and Chile events scheduled for 2007. Those
competitors that do not make it in the top winning bracket will end up
competing in an Open World Qualifying event set to take place at Pier 1 on
Maui, HI in early 2007. For more information log onto to
