ESA/CFL #5 Lights Up Cocoa Beach Pier

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 15 December, 2006 : - - With very few Hurricanes or Tropical storms affecting the east coast of Central Florida, the Eastern Surfing Associations - Central Florida District has had it share of canceled, postponed, and rescheduled contests, because of the lack of contestable waves. 

But CFL was able to pull off contest #5, the annual December Christmas contest, at the famous Cocoa Beach pier. With air temperatures hovering in the high 70's, water temp about 65, and a consistent 3 to 4-foot swell for the 2 day event, CFL was able to run the 68 heats it takes to find the top surfers in all divisions.  Below are the top 6 in every division.

About ESA:
The ESA is the largest amateur surfing association in the world, with a current membership of over 7,000 surfers. It was founded in 1967, by East Coast surfers to promote, preserve and protect the sport of surfing on the East Coast. Two of the original founders of the ESA, Cecil Lear and David Reese, are still active in the association forty years later.

At the national level, the ESA is a founding member association of Surfing America. The ESA is empowered by Surfing America to carry out qualifying amateur events on the East Coast for the USA Surfing Championships and the USA National Surf Team.. The ESA is also empowered by Surfing America to conduct ASP WQS rated professional surfing competitions under contract to ASP North America.

At the international level, the ESA is linked to world surfing through Surfing America's recognition by the International Surfing Association (ISA). The ISA serves as the international governing body for the sport of surfing and is officially recognized by the IOC.
