Default Prizes

Some of you have asked: what did I win? We wanted to wait until the event was completely finished to split up the prize money. Now it is!

The prizes this year were donated in part by our sponsors but mainly by Seven's surf shop at mile marker 88. Rally "your", "our" sponsors for next year so we can give out $10k + like before!

This year's prizes are spending sprees to the shop! Whatever you ride, whatever you like, you can find something there. From hats to flops, kite to wake to skate...its there...2500 sq feet of goods to pick from! And over $2000 to give away!!!

1st Place winners: $100
2nd Place winners: $75
3rd Place winners: $50


This is payed out in all 9 categories!

Damo racked up!!!

We have the list of winners so all you all need to do is come on in to Seven's shop at mile marker 88 in Islamorada 305-853-KITE (5483) and pick out whatever you like! Any questions just email brad@sevensports.com or give me a call.

From one rider to another: many thanks to all the riders who came out. You guys and girls are what make the event possible! Have a great season and see you all at some beach soon! Ride On!

Default hater

hopefully that attitude is not a representation of the whole shop...let's hope its just some silly employee that should have stayed off the computer today...

I would love to have given out over TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS like we did a few years ago...the largest purse in Florida...maybe the US? But in case you hadn't noticed, the markets are a little down and sponsors ALL had to cut back this year. At the last count, the event this year cost us a little over five thousand dollars...

Lets all rally our sponsors to beef up their competition and event budgets so we can give out lots of $$$$ next year. Events are great for the sport.

In the meantime, we felt that over 2K worth of shop merchandise was better than sitting around being a hater...

Next year maybe we'll get conditions like this last week and we will head out to Alligator Light. Here's a pic from a few hours ago!

Nope, Noel's got his own account. I'm not speaking for any shop, just riders in general.

I wasn't referring to anybody in particular...I was just hoping that wasn't the position of the ownership of our neighboring shop. I'm still not sure because your name is otherside...I always thought Mike and Shana were the owners??? But I didn't think they would act negative like that...or at least on a public forum...

The attitude I was referring to was a negative one regarding someone doing something positive...it just struck me as a surprise coming from "otherside"

Every rider I talked to thanked us and was very positive and thankful...which riders "specifically" were you referring to?
