From all of us at NYNJSurf.com and on behalf on Dean and the Dean Randazzo cancer Foundation, congratulations to
New Jersey's Paul Smith, as photographed by NJ Photographer Bob Paxson!!Paul narrowly edged out NY's Steff Zellinger, NJ's Brendon Tighe, NY's Chris Dorado and a host of other competitors for the 2008 Little Nasty Cup!!
Congratulations also go out to the
Worldwide Winner, Hawaii's Ed DeLamarter, who also narrowly edged Brandon Balabus, who was also surfing Hawaii;
and to the
Womens Division Winner, NY's Katherine Moriwicki, who narrowly edged out NY's Elie Losloben!
Now, on to the important stuff -When all the checks are received and the totals counted, we expect to have raised more than $4000 and perhaps as much as $5000 for Dean and the Dean Randazzo Cancer Foundation! Every check received so far has been forwarded to Dean and the Foundation, and checks continue to arrive almost daily, so if you are a competitor and have not sent yours in, please get it in to us now!
To this point, the winner of The Little Nasty Silver Plate for the most money raised goes to Steff Zellinger, who raised an amazing $422!! "Voting" on this will continue until all competitors have submitted, so there's still time to swoop in and take the prize!
On behalf of Dean and the foundation, please accept our deepest thanks to ALL of the "Do it for Dean!" competitors, photographers and contributors for the extraordinary time, effort and generosity - all of that, combined with your thoughts and prayers mean the world to Dean and to others fighting cancer. Bless you all - its been an honor to have worked on this with all of you!
