SKATEBOARDING PHENOMENON TONY HAWK EXPLAINS THE GROWING APPEAL OF THE SPORT ON "60 MINUTES," Charlie Rose explores the growing popularity of professional skateboarding with the sport's most awe-inspiring trendsetter Tony Hawk on 60 MINUTES, Wednesday, June 16 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. A self-described outcast as a child growing up in San Diego, Hawk turned his skateboarding hobby into a profession at age 14. Now, 20 years later, having invented over 80 tricks and becoming the first to master the "900," two-and-a-half airborne revolutions on the board, Hawk has become the face of modern skateboarding. At age 34, he sports an image so squeaky clean that companies are lining up to do business with him. Activision's video game "Tony Hawk, Pro Skater" is one of the top-selling video games in the world and Hawk's own line of skateboarding-inspired products has earned more than $20 million over the last two years alone. Inspired by his need for constant stimulation as a child, Hawk created the ultimate answer to attention deficit disorder. "Tony Hawk's Boom Boom Huck Jam," an extreme sports spectacle packaged for arenas around the country, features the world's best motocrossers, BMX bikers and skateboarders. "I was just doing a lot of exhibitions in recent years, seeing the crowds grow and grow and I felt like there was enough interest where we could be the focus of the tour." When asked to explain the extreme sport's popularity, Hawk says, "I think the growing appeal is constant action, constant excitement." Comparing a skateboarding competition to an auto race, Hawk says, "I think the fans like the perceived risk factor. You know, whether anyone wants to admit it or not, they like to see us take spills." For details go to www.cbsnews.com/stories/1999/05/24/60II/main48284.shtml

ISA NEWS - SURFING NEWS - ON THE OLYMPIC FRONT Information for WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) WADA has requested that each ISA NGB know what travel plans its athletes have for the month of July because WADA will be conducting out of competition testing. This is mostly for Sports included on the official Programme, but since surfing is a recognized sport, the ISA, and all of its NGBs come under this umbrella of WADA and therefore; out of competition testing. WADA wants to know the exact addresses and exactly where the NGB athletes (those that participated in the last WSG in Ecuador), will be in the month of July 2004. As part of the WADA code that the ISA has signed, out of competition testing is a part of the code and can be conducted at any given time. The ISA kindly requests each NGB to submit information and contacts to the ISA for each competitor from the WSG 2004 in Ecuador. For the NGBs that did not participate in the WSG 2004, please send a list of athletes from the last WSG that your national team participated in, along with their addresses and travel plans for the month of July 2004. For those NGBs who have never participated, please send the ISA a list from your last national series. The ISA would really appreciate this information by no later than Thursday, June 10th to be able to send it in. Please send it to Maile Aguerre at the following email: maile@isasurf.org

HAWAII - Surfing becomes an official High School sport in Hawaii - Excerpt from CNN.com, posted Friday, May 21, 2004 - Riding the waves was made an official high school sport on Thursday, May 20th by the State Board of Education. The decision on whether to have a surfing team will be up to each school. Before voting 9 – 0, board members heard about one hour of testimony mostly in favor of sanctioning the sport. Despite its history as the birthplace of surfing, Hawaii had never allowed recognized interscholastic high school surfing teams because of concerns over safety, costs and liability. Public School students now compete in surf meets as members of clubs, but they can’t use their schools’ names. The new policy will allow surf clubs to be official school teams. For the full story, please go to: http://www.cnn.com/2004/EDUCATION/05/21/high.school.surfing.ap/.

RED BULL BIG WAVE AFRICA 2004 – Surfing South Africa (SSA) Specialty event
June 7 – 27, Dungeons, Hout Bay, Cape Town - The challenge to surf the biggest ride-able waves on the coastline of Africa is based in Hout Bay on the Cape Peninsula and the competitors, along with the three alternates, wait for swells exceeding five metres in height at Dungeons, the open ocean reef under the towering cliffs of the Sentinel Mountain, during the 21 day holding period. The life threatening nature of big wave surfing has led to the contest itself only being staged twice since it was initiated in 1999 – in near perfect 15 – 18 foot (5 – 6 metre) swells in 2000 when Holmes clinched victory and in similar size but incredibly hollow waves last year when Long dominated proceedings – ironically both occasions held on the day after the holding period ended! However, the invitees challenge Dungeons every time it breaks and several wind-blown sessions that were unsuitable for the contest have produced rides on swells in the 20 foot plus (7-8 metres) range, creating wave faces the height of a four story building. A prize-pool totaling R125 000 is at stake, while the streamlined contest format geared to completing the contest in under four hours enables contest director Gary Linden (California) and his newly appointed assistant, local big wave surfing legend Jonathan Paarman from Hout Bay, to thoroughly check the conditions before giving the contest the go-ahead. The all important safety aspects of Red Bull BWA will again be coordinated by California based water safety expert Shawn Alladio and her Brazilian partner Marcelo Ulyssea on PWC’s. Dr Duncan Laurenson, himself a surfer, and a pair of paramedics with state-of-the-art life-support systems are in the line-up at Dungeons on every day the break is surfed, backed up by an interim trauma unit and ambulance available at the event HQ. Red Bull Big Wave Africa 2004 Competitors include Grant Baker (Durban), Carlos Burle (Brazil), Mickey Duffus (Cape Town), Sean Holmes (Wilderness), Greg Long (California), Andrew Marr (Cape Town), Coco Nogales (Mexico), Jason Ribbink (Durban), Jamie Sterling (Hawaii), Justin Strong (Cape Town), Darryl ‘Flea’ Virostko (California), Grant Washburn (California). Alternates - International: Doug Young (New Zealand)... South African: David Smith (Cape Town), Richie Sills (Durban) Information on the status of the event: www.rebullbwa.com
