Hey all!   

I humbly request a sponsor.  I have never been to a GS event.  I have been to several Simply Fishing events but still do not know a lot of you.  So real quick here is a little about me to help you decide if you will sponsor me:  3 years ocean kayak fishing experience, Army Gulf war veteran, Humboldt State University grad, mild mannered family man, and I fish out of an Ocean Kayak Trident 13.  If any of you wish to get to know me and sponsor me I would greatly appreciate.  Oh, and I'm not entering the contest to win prizes, but instead I just love to fish and wish to get to know more people like me.  Thanks

If I wasn't sponsoring 3 I would sponsor a fellow Gulf War vet. Someone will pick you up if not I'll see if I can have 4 out with me.

He got covered and is good to go.

It means a lot to me.  I'll look for you when I get there.  Would like to meet you.

" With those people " !!   Forgot it was your 25th wedding Anniversary ?? I like your style. 

Maybe you should take her fishing on Maui for the 25th! 

Sorry you can't attend, Vic - at least you have an excellent reason. 

GEAR UPDATE:

I sat with my new gear people today.  My old suppliers who produced all gear from GS4 through GSX are moving to Portland soon, so I had to go shopping.  I feel lucky to have landed with a local outfit that is really on the ball:  Lotus Mountain Screen Printing out of Fortuna.

I have finalized my design - in keeping with my recent tradition, it's full on SIMPLE!  Purple is the color, so the standard issue short sleeve t-shirt will have the NCKA "Linghead Vector" on the front in purple, and the back will just have the "yakker image" in purple - no words.  I've chosen a softer, upgraded t-shirt.  The hat will be black (Flex Fit) with just the yakker in purple.  The zip hoodie will be heavy duty and charcoal in color with the Linghead Vector on the left chest and the yakker on the back - both in purple.  The long sleeve options:  black will have purple just like the short sleeve shirts, and white will have black Linghead Vector and purple with black outline yakker on back.  The Gyotaku shirts will have a small purple yakker on the front left chest and a small "Gimme Shelter Gyotaku" and Asian characters on the back, with plenty of room for printing - should have kids' sizes this year too.

I'll post up the mockups when I get them from my people.

The gear's going to be awesome. 

Simplicity. 

Long sleeves too...

Hi everyone,

I'm pretty new to the Ocean Kayak scene and this tournament sounds like a good (and fun) way to gain some more experience.  I purchased a Hobie Outback this winter and I've had it out in the ocean 3 times since.  Once was for the NCKA Crabfest at Doran which was a blast!  Although I'm fairly green in the water and have little rockfishing experience, I'm very aware of safety issues. My rig is properly equipped and I'm very comfortable in it.  With that being said, what are the chances of gaining a sponsor for this event?  I've reserved a campsite and I'm looking forward to just hanging out and sponging knowledge off those who are willing to share, (and those who like 18 year old rum). 

I'm housebroken too.

I'm glad you'll join us, Schills.  Someone will pick you up and be your sponsor soon. 

Hey Schills,
That rum you speak of - is it Don, Flor or something more exotic?
