GUAHAN NAPU REVISITED:

WHAT IS THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF GUAHAN NAPU?

To help our local athletes excel in competition on and off island and to provide a voice for our surfing community.

WHY WAS GUAHAN NAPU STARTED AND WHO STARTED IT?
Guajan Napu was started for surfing to be recognized by our community.

HOW MANY EVENTS HAS GUAHAN NAPU HOSTED AND WHAT ARE SOME OF ITS ACCOMPLISHMENTS?

7 Events at Boat Basin and 9 Evetns at Ricks Reef. Through profits raised by these events an d our sponsors we have been able to send athletes to Hawaii, Japan, New Caledonia, and most recently Fiji where we brought back several silver , bronze, and gold medals..

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MAJOR HURDLES FOR FORMING/MAINTAINING GUAHAN NAPU?

Electing board members and building things from scratch. Finding financing for our projects so to speak.

GIVEN THE STORIES OF LOCALISM ON GUAM AND THE DESIRE TO ISOLATE GUAM FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD AS A SURFING DESTINATION, HOW DOES THAT PLAY OUT IN THE ROLE OF STIMULATING GUAM’S COMPETITIVE SURFING?

Guam is commited to provide wave riding venues for local athletes and helping them adjust to the standards in larger events outside of Guam. As a voice for Guam surfing., We must protect our local surfers opinions on how Guam’s surfing is promoted.

WE HEAR THAT GUAHAN NAPU NOW FALLS UNDER THE GNOC…WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR GUAM SURFING?

It means were going to produce and develop athletes with the assistance of the GNOC. Sending athletes to the mini-games, South Pacific Games, and if ever-available—the Olympics. It helps our local representatives to find sponsors.

WHAT IS NEXT FOR GUAHAN NAPU?
Complete all surfing events for the season.
Continue to keep giving surfers events to excel

HOW CAN PEOPLE HELP?
Come by the events, voice opinions, and keep the support coming. THANK YOU!!!

ANY LAST WORDS?
Respect the Lcoals…wherever you go to surf!
