Sponsor the Kayak Surf FestivalWelcome to the 22nd Santa Cruz Kayak Surf Festival (SCKSF), the largest kayak surf contest in the world, the event attributed to have launched this dynamic new international sport, and is one of the primary contests used to select the surf kayak teams to compete for the US of A. It is slated to play March 14th-16th, 2008, with two contests going on for experts and beginners. This event is named a festival because its charter is to promote all kayaking. We use the world renowned surf break, Steamer Lane, as a draw to attract the best kayak wave athletes on the planet, which in turn gets media of every kind excited to cover this colorful surf pageantry. This media blitz attracts multitudes of spectators who come to be part of this awesome ocean action. It is in this forum that we invite aquatic sports manufacturers to display their products, in the midst of the contest, as part of the display of the festival. Sponsors who choose to participate will have at their disposal thousands of environmentally motivated aquatics customers in the form of volunteers, contestants and spectators. We stuff the evenings with town parties, in a surf city noted for such endeavors, provide an appropriate vehicle for the mixing of ideas.
Each day of the festival hundreds of spectators-many from the San Francisco and Silicon Valley areas-will line the cliffs to watch to grand power of 20 foot plus waves and the athletes who play in them. These spectators along with the volunteers and athletes from around the world will be browsing the vendor display booths or putting their bid on items in the Silent Auction. Media will be constantly perusing the cliffs for that juicy images and coercing interviews from anyone who looks likely. You can expect to see the SCKSF in Paddler, Canoe and Kayak, Outside, Adventure (National Geographic), and Sea Kayaker Magazines. It will appear in every major TV network and has often fed major pieces in Outdoor Life and Gillette World Sports. The marketing opportunities for the kayaking industry and action sports are tremendous.
