Breaking news!!!

I got confirmation from Jackson Kayak that they will be donating a Kraken as the grandprize for the 2015 Diver Of The Year champ!!!

 

SUPER stoked on this kayak as a prize!!!

I have been paddling and diving off this yak from Big Sur to Humboldt for about 8 months now and have been loving it!!

Here is the link to info on the Kraken, and I have attached a few of my pics as well.

Gee, I was under the impression that offering a kayak as the grand prize for a tourney only brought out the riff raff.

Any excuse to get more of your fish pics on another thread.jk thats great news

Makes me want to become a diver!

AOTY has had a prize kayak every year....DOTY had a prize kayak last year and it was announced that it would at the beginning of this year as well...

From the rules posted on the DOTY and AOTY sites:

Registration fees ($40 per player) will go towards PIF 2015, after prize plaques for top three and "big fish" are purchased for both AOTY and DOTY. PIF (Pay It Forward) is organized by the A-Hulls and has donated over $48,000 since 2010 to NCKA members battling Cancer. The A-Hulls will decide (with input from the NCKA community) who the PIF 2015 recipient(s) will be.

There will be Piscean Plaques for the top three in both AOTY and DOTY. The "big fish" in each category of AOTY and DOTY will receive an award. There will be prizes donated by sponsors (TBD) for at least the top three in both AOTY and DOTY.

The winner of AOTY will receive a 2015 Hobie kayak; the winner of DOTY will receive a 2015 Jackson kayak; and there will be another kayak TBD that will be awarded via raffle at the 2015 Awards Ceremony.

Each participant in AOTY/DOTY will automactially receive one entry into the raffle once they pay the $40 entry fee. Participants can receive up to 20 additional raffle entries for each species submitted and approved in both AOTY and DOTY. 21 entries into the raffle will be the max that any player can have.

Not sure what you are referring to...but if it's not about our awesome DOTY competition maybe you should put your comments in the thread that it belongs. 

 

Sincerely,

Jim
