Rosarito Beach Welcomes The WQS Surf Contest In April
Rosarito Beach Pro added to WQS schedule
Surfersvillage Global Surf News,
18 February, 2009 : - - The City of Rosarito Beach, Baja California and
FDt Marketing are proud to announce they have reached a formal
agreement for a new WQS event to be held April 3rd- 5th, 2009 in
Rosarito, at the Rosarito Pier.
The event, which has been in
development for nearly 4 months, will be a Men's WQS 1-STAR event, and
be held just after the Vans Pier Classic in Huntington Beach.
"We
are very excited to have all the competitors here in our beautiful
beaches and look forward to the event in April. Rosarito has always
been recognized as a very attractive spot for surfers and this event
will bring many positive things to our city." Laura Wong president of
the Rosarito Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau.
FDt Marketing,
the management company behind the Rosarito Beach Pro, feels they are
bringing this contest to Rosarito at the perfect time of year, seeing
huge potential for this year and beyond.
"We
wanted to give this surf contest a different feel, a different
atmosphere if you will. Come April 3rd Rosarito will still be in Spring
Break mode, so we wanted to surround the contest with a young, beach
minded, college party atmosphere. We felt that with the spring breakers
still in town it would help draw a large crowd during the contest, plus
we are planning a concert on the Saturday night April 4th."
Jeff
Stoner, President of FDt Marketing: The event will be webcasted with
live scoring on Saturday and Sunday, April 4th and 5th, and can be seen
on rosarito.org/surf or by clicking on the Rosarito event logo on the
ASP website. For more information on the event, travel arrangements,
