Want to win a HAYDENSHAPES SURFBOARD of YOUR CHOICE from your favorite surf shop, PIONEERS??? It's so easy, start a fantasy surf team and join the Pioneers Club Team!!! Read on for the details!!!!
If you know Steve or I or you read the blog regularly then you know the boys at PIONEERS follow the ASP religiously... Well gang the first event of the year, Snapper Rocks on the Gold Coast, is set to start in 10 days, 11 hours, and 7 minutes. I think in the past few years our dedication to the tour has turned more and more of you onto following it also. Our good buddy Jon suggested we start a Pioneers Club where all the NH surf fans can get together through fantasy surfer. It's a great idea and I think that this will make following the tour even more enjoyable. It's so easy and requires very little time so you have to do it!!! Getting started will take about 10 minutes!
So this is how it works... First go to Fantasy Surfer and create an account. It's pretty basic stuff, name, birthday, email, & password. Once you go through that process your going to click on MY TEAM, this is the spot where you actually pick the surfers that will comprise your Fantasy Surf Team. For Men's Fantasy Surfer, each team owner can draft up to eight surfers, without exceeding their $50,000,000 salary cap. For Women's Fantasy Surfer, teams are made up of five surfers with a $30,000,000 salary cap. Might sound confusing but just do it and you'll get it!
New kid on the tour this year Kolohe Andino, hoping to see some fireworks from this kid!
Before each event, surfers' values may increase or decrease based on their performance at the last event (if they do really well and gain points they become more expensive) but the cost against your salary cap is the cost when you purchased your surfer. Surfer values can and will change throughout the 2012 World Tour season. If you're like me you'll change your team up every event based on the type of wave, the forecasted conditions, the surfers value, and who's hot at the moment. The other option is to pick your top eight and let it ride for the whole year!!!
A few words of advice for new players, create your team however you want but in my experience you want to buy surfers that win heats! If you spend most of your money on two or three surfers the rest of your money will be spent on the surfers who comprise the tail end of the pack. Sometimes this works but your best bet in my opinion is to buy surfers from the mid range! 8 good scores add up a lot quicker then 2 top scores and 6 bottom scores!!!!
Once you've got your team ready to go for Snapper Rock then the next step is to join the Pioneers Board Shop Club. To do this you place your mouse on CLUBS and then scroll down and click on Private Club. In the box labeled "search private clubs" type in Pioneers Board Shop and use the password; surfnh to join. What this does is get you connected to all the other people who play fantasy surfer in NH that are friends of the shop. It's a fun way to see who else is playing, checking out how they are doing and seeing who they picked to surf on their team. Even if you've never had a Fantasy Surfer Team before give it a try, it makes following the tour so much better!!!
We want to make this interesting so we are ready to up the ante by offering a killer first place prize for the person that has the HIGHEST overall score at the end of the year. Yes you read that right up top, Pioneers in collaboration with Global Surf Industries is ready to offer you a Haydenshapes Surfboard. All you gotta do is pick a strong team, rack up some points and when you win you pick the Hayden shape you like and the size you want. How good is that????
In case Hayden is a brand you're unfamiliar with let me give you the heads up. Hayden is a shaper out of Australia and is shaping for some of the most progressive surfers on the planet such as Craig Anderson. Hayden makes some great looking shapes some of which push the boundaries of what a traditional surfboard should look like. I'll have a lot more on these boards in the coming months as we start to get them into the shop.
But for now the important thing to do is to get your fantasy team in order, join the Pioneers club, and push all your buddies to do the same!!! If you've got any questions hit us up and we'll iron them out for you!!!
PIONEERS FOR SURFING!!!
