Surf Fest 2003 - Saturday August 2

Its almost that time of year again in Manhattan Beach.

"The annual Surf Festival may be curiously named as it is primarily a whacky volleyball tournament, but it combines an outdoor athletics with a very loose atmosphere and an all-day/all-night party to make it the quintessential Manhattan Beach event.

World-class volleyball players, top college stars and disguised AVP pros don costumes as if it were Halloween. In addition to a loose attitude, they bring their incredible skills to a 6-man beach tournament. Among the teams were the "Lakers" in Afro wigs, French Maids, nurses and Abraham Lincolns."

The Deal is pretty much the same as last year. There will be three different options like last year:

Option A: Play all but 2 games; pays approx. $120

Option B: Play 2 games, pay approx. $100 (Only 7 slots)

Option C: Play no games but be part of the festivities, pay approx. $85.

Note: Approx. cost based on last year, may be less or more depending on how much sponsors step up and how many of decide to participate.

Option A is currently full.

Please email Eric Withee if you would like to participate this year.
