Paddling, Surfing... Tow-in?
APT (Association of Professional Towsurfers) is pleased to announce its upcoming competitive circuit for the '06 and 2007 surfing season. The new tow surfing website was recently announced with plans for the APT World Tour Tow-In Surfing Circuit. Rodney Kilborn and Eric Akiskalian have dedicated the past few years in gaining support for their personal vision and the APT goals for the future of the sport. "... the APT World Tour Tow-In Surfing Circuit is recognized as a legitimate and globally sanctioned tow-in circuit for competing towsurfers." Says, APT's founder/president, Eric Akiskalian.
Supporting member, Garrett McNamara compares the traditional paddling and surfing sport to the tow-in surfing sport and is quoted,"Traditional surfing is a cutting edge sport. Tow-in surfing is the cutting edge of Surfing. It is great to have APT pushing forward and joining forces with all, to create a world tour tow-in surfing circuit. I can't wait!!! Let's get it on."
Sean Collins, President of Surfline has given his blessings on the organization by asking the group to pay close attention to educating tow-in surfers to the standards and policies of the surfing community. He is also quoted,"... I feel confident in encouraging towsurfers to join the APT as soon as possible, so we can use this organization as the united voice for the towsurfing community to deal with the immediate issues we have at hand."
And for traditional surfing news, go to the updates on the WCT (World Championship Tour); Kelly Slater (7,824) is ahead of Andy Irons (6,348) after 9 out of 11 events! Go Kelly!
Thanks to APT for their info on Tow-in Surfing!
