Happy New Year to all. The SATT had a very busy 2008 and will be kicking off 2009 with Surfer of the Year/National Team Trials- Event 1 on Sunday January 25th.

Open Men, Women, Bodyboard, Longboard and Masters categories will be contested. The event is open to all members who have paid their membership fees for 2009. If you have not already done so, payment can be made on the day. The event will begin at 9am sharp. Registration will open at 8am and close off at 9am so be punctual. Members can register after 9am, but would not be allowed to compete on the day. The location for the first event will be announced at a later date.

The 2008 ISA World Surfing Games was a great learning experience and this year we would like to improve our ranking. The only way to do so is to have a better prepared team, physically and mentally. The first 4 events on the SATT 09 calender will be used to select the surfers for the National Team Training Program. The final team will be selected from these surfers based on their overall performance, commitment and attitude during the Training Program.

The 2009 AGM is scheduled for Tuesday 17th of February at a time and place to be announced. Please mark this day on your calendar and do your best to attend. We need your support and input to help develop and improve our sport in T&T.
