8th Annual Big Ab Big Ling Dive Event June 7th 2014 Manchester CA

Trying to get an early start this year. MODS If you can please make this a sticky

This is going to be the 8th year of putting on the Big Ab Big Ling Dive Event, and I really look forward to this year’s family fun.
Web site is up and running so please Pre Register if you can.
This year’s event is being held June 7th 2014 at the Manchester CA, KOA campgrounds (just as in prior years).

The event format will be the same as in the past, having 1st, 2nd, 3rd, place divisions in:
-Open Speargun, Open Polespear, Biggest Abalone, Women's, and Juniors (under 18). As well as the Ocean Steward Award for the most beach garbage picked up.

The raffle tables will be impressive as always with a sponsor list that keeps growing. Neptonic Systems, Freedive Shop, Sea Sniper, Artwork by Amadeo Bachar, Herranen Spearguns, , Banks Dive Boards, James and Joseph, Gatku Polespears, 20 Fathoms, and a whole lot more…


The goal once again will be to raise $5000. All proceeds will go to the NorCal Chapter of the RFA and SCAN. who have been fighting diligently for your fishing and diving rights.

I would appreciate it if you could forward this announcement to other dives not on this web site.

Thank you for your support.

Yeah with the Reg changes I did not want to host a comp where divers were assumed to be heading into the water prior to 8am.
Just gives the wrong people leverage.
So sleep it up, I'm sure we will still get the first 80 or so divers in full wetsuits starting at 7am ha ha.

Re: 8th Annual Big Ab Big Ling Dive Event June 7th 2014 Manchester CA

For anyone having a hard time with accomidations at the KOA please let me know.
We have the group tent site reserved for tent camping.
Kabins are in short supply this year get one while you can.
Please preregister so I know how many shirts to order as they will be first order first served.
Can't wait...
The sponsor list is growing and I need to confirm a few more but we should have several custom guns, wetsuits, fins, dive boards and so much more.
Sorry for the slow response if you sent me emails as I am in the process of rebuilding my computer after my hard drive crashed.

Re: 8th Annual Big Ab Big Ling Dive Event June 7th 2014 Manchester CA

Less than a month out and we have over 50 people signed up....
Please preregister to guarantee you get a shirt with entry.
I have to put the order in this weekend and we will be limited in supply.
So get them while you can...
The sponsor list keeps growing and we are sure to have the biggest year yet.
Can't wait to see the Sea Sniper display and all the gear they are offering as well as the speargun Chris is donating.
Guns, wetsuits, dive boards, float lines, and more great people to hang out with than you will have time for. See you all very soon.

Re: 8th Annual Big Ab Big Ling Dive Event June 7th 2014 Manchester CA

Hello Spearo's -
I have a 6 sleeper 2 bedroom cabin at the KOA for this upcoming BA/BL but 2 of my folks cannot make it so only need a 4 sleeper. Is there anyone out there who has a 4 sleeper already reserved but was hoping for a 6 sleeper and would be willing to switch? Cannot wait for this weekend!!!!!

Re: 8th Annual Big Ab Big Ling Dive Event June 7th 2014 Manchester CA

Pre-Registration is now closed but we will still be accepting "Day of Registration".
We have 93 people signed up so far, ocean conditions looking a bit bumpy with a side of wind, weather should be sunny and in the 70's.
The KOA still has tent sites open so we have room if you can make the drive.
Drive save and we will see you all soon.

Yet another great event Tino. Thanks so much! If anyone ended up with a medium sized hoodie that I set on a table by the raffle, I'd be happy to send you a $10 reward and a self addressed stamped package to mail it back to me.
