This years pond will be twice as wide as last years. The layout of the comp will be the same with the pond right in front of the board walk, and the choppers loading about a block away.



It makes me fucking nuts that this was not announced sooner! I had a blast there last year and would have absolutely planned on returning if I knew they were doing a comp again (PST or not).

If anyone finds the millions of braincells that I left in that hotel room those three days/nights after the meet last year, please return them.
