“The
Glide” – from Tom Proctor
I wish a belated Happy New Year to all. During our last board meeting your directors asked that I put together the ABC's for Carolina Coast Surf Club - Accomplishments, Benefits and Calendar of events.
A: CCSC is one of the, if not the oldest active surf club on the East Coast and likely the USA. Founded in 1963 - next year will be our Golden Anniversary! Five charter club members are as active today as they were in 1963. Competitively - several members represent our club exceptionally well as competitors in ESA events and contest. Our Community Service activities are definitely positive accomplishments and include The Highway Clean-ups on Sullivan's Island, volunteers in the Surfer Healing program and participation in Surfrider activities. We have awarded $2,000 in College Scholarships to surfers and supported ESA Events as sponsors. The IOP Surf Cam, its Sponsors and Andy's Daily Surf Report are uniquely Carolina Coast Surf Club! Your Board of Directors and I thank everyone for their help, dedication and support that have led to our accomplishments.
B: I think the biggest benefit I have realized is the many new friends I have made that enjoy surfing. Needless to tell you - surfers are a different breed. We enjoy the water so much that we brave the elements and paddle out in close-out hurricane surf just for a chance to make it across a big face. When not in the water we love to get together socially. There were 50 members and guest at this year's oyster roast. The oysters were the best in a number of years. Our monthly socials are well attended and the host put out an excellent spread. The Annual Meeting committee did their magic and found fantastic caterers! On a scale of 1-10 they were a 14! Financially the benefits of being a member are simple and mathematically pretty much a break even with our annual dues.
C: Plans have been put together and some are still in the works for a number of events this year. We need committee chair people and helpers. Please contact me about helping.
