HELLO WOW PARTICIPANTS!!
ON THIS PAGE YOU WILL FIND IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO NAVIGATE WOW 2022 WEEKEND
HEATS SCHEDULE
Saturday and Sunday's schedules are posted here.* This year our goal was for all participants to surf twice. Plan on being there both days unless your category has preliminary heats or semi final heats on Saturday afternoon. Then you may or may not surf on Sunday depending on the progression. But, who are we kidding, you need to be there on Sunday for the surfboards raffle ;)
*Subject to change.



SAT. & SUN. CHECK-IN DETAILS
You will check-in at the Registration-Info tent at the Esplanade. We are having a FULL expo. WOW booth will be facing the stage.
Swimmers will get the WOW weekend started with the OWS at 9:00 am and 9:05 am. Along with their goodie bag, swimmers will get a swim cap (pink for 1 mile and purple for half mile) and body marked. Map and course description here.
Surfers, please check your heat schedule and make sure you check- in at least 1 hour before your FIRST heat. There will be a HEAT BOARD with rash guard color assignments to each participant. You will get your rash guard 15 min before your heat time.
LUNCH: ALL participants will be provided with a wristband in order to collect a delicious lunch sponsored by TOGOS! Stop by the TOGO's booth at the expo and enjoy a tasty sandwich!! Keep the wristband on for Sunday's lunch :)
