Default A HUGE thanks to all the Sponsors

Again, the prize table was amazing!! The diversity of prizes was outstanding and plentiful. A HUGE thanks to every sponsor who donated prizes in these tough times...YOU ARE AWESOME!!! This was my first tournament and I placed 3rd in the Womens Division~WOOHOO!!. Then, I won the Hogfish category prize of a Spearfishing Specialties KICKASS RX5 Kill Package gun!!! I want to thank Kevin Bruington at Spearfishing Specialties for always stepping up. I was the happiest girl in the world when they called my number...as everybody around me could attest~LOL! Kevin~Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
So, I walked away...errr, floated away with a GUN, GLASS and a TBSC WINTER INVITATIONAL entry!!
Wow! What a weekend!
Cindy, aka Mama Wench

Congratulations Cindy on winning the new Ocean Rhino RX5 speargun. I think you were destined to own an Ocean Rhino. Cindy and I talked a couple months ago about our new spearguns and she told me she hoped to buy one sometime in the future. Cindy told me she had a speargun she needed to sell and would then save up the remainder of the money to buy her new Ocean Rhino RX5. Well that plan became moot when her Hogfish ticket was drawn on Sunday. Can't think of a more deserving shooter to win the gun.

Great Job Darling,
I am so proud of you. Your personal best gag and third place for women in your first tournament. You have come a long way baby and you worked hard to be such a good diver and now spearfisher. You know we all love ya at AO and we can't wait to see your trophy at the next AO club meeting.
(Go Sea Wenches)

Thanks Guys! I was a smidge excited, wasn't I? I've been crazy about diving since I certified and never in my wildest dreams thought I would be where I am today in the sport! Bill and the guys at AO have been a HUGE influence (not sure if thats actually a good thing~LOL) in my success! I couldn't have done it without their constant encouragement. Thanks to EVERYONE who has supported me in this wild ride!
You'll be seeing me...AND my new RX5 again!!

I want to say thankyou to everyone who sponsored this event, and all the hard work that goes into it. The weigh in and the awards were set up nicely, and comfortably. We barely made the weigh in line by :30 secs.
Iv never won anything for sporting events, Finally i accomplished something for myself.
Thankyou SPUC for my first tournament in the SPO.
