John Dillon just called and said that there are radio commercials for the Vintage & Longboard Day that are being played on WHFS 99.1 FM. This is a surprise bonus for Surfrider Foundation because Vans is paying for the advertisements.

Note, all the Sponsors such as Tracker, Gravity, Comet, etc. have hooked us up with a bunch of swag/prizes.

Look for raffles at the event (1 ticket for $1.00 or 10 tickets for $5.00) along with prizes for the races.
