POINT BEACH — The PointBeach softball team ended itsseason in the second roundof the state tournament onTuesday.Seeded at eight, the Gulls

had a difficult road from thestart knowing that a win inthe first round meant facingthe one-seed in the secondround.Last Friday they opened

state tournament play withan 11-0 victory at homeagainst ninth-seeded High-land Park.“Like I said earlier. We

played so well yesterday thatI knew that good things weregoing to happen today,” headcoach Silvio DeCristofanosaid.He was referring to Thurs-

day’s game against Toms Riv-er North in the first round ofthe Shore Conference Tour-nament.Point Beach and Toms Riv-

LAKEWOOD — Saturdaynight was the perfect nightto reignite the rivalry that isPoint Boro versus PointBeach.Instead of on a wrestling

mat in a packed high schoolgymnasium, this contestbrought the two towns toFirstEnergy Park, the homeof the Lakewood BlueClaws,for a game under the lights.

Both team’s fan sections,the Panther Pit and theGulls Nest, made the shortdrive in support of their re-spective teams, but this timethere was no dramaticcomeback and no late-gameheroics.Point Boro retains brag-

ging rights as they took careof Point Beach 9-1 throughseven innings of play. It wasfitting for the Panthers towalk away with the win on anight where they honoredthe graduating seniors onthe team.As the home team, Point

Boro took to the field firstand Michael Falconetti gotthe start on the mound.

In the top of the first in-ning he struck out two bat-ters and they secured thethird out on a popup to thirdbaseman Jack Fitzsimmons.The Gulls could not get

anything started from theplate and sent out JohnNista to the rubber. ThePanther bats were hot andcontributed to an early four-run lead.They scored on RBI sin-

POINT PLEASANT — Sundaymorning’s beautiful weatherand calm water created per-fect conditions for PointPleasant’s inaugural TreasureIsland Pirate Paddle.The stand-up paddleboard

[SUP] race event is the firstof its kind to take place onthe Manasquan River. A totalof 158 registered paddlerscame out to Riverfront Parkon Sunday to participate inthe event.

“This is the first stand-uppaddle board race on theManasquan River or even inPoint Pleasant, so it’s prettyexciting,” said race directorRich Bubnowski. “There’s alot of history of bootleggingand rum-running up anddown this river, so wethought it would be an appro-priate name for the race.”The net proceeds from the

race are being donated to St.Peter School in Point Pleas-ant Beach.There was a five-mile race,

which was a World PaddleAssociation [WPA]-sanc-tioned event, and a two-milerecreational race that tookplace at the same time. The

POINT BORO BASEBALL NOTEBOOK

Panther comeback falls short in state tournamentBY DOMINICK POLLIOTHE OCEAN STAR

POINT BORO — The PointBoro baseball team had anup-and-down last week ofbaseball. The week beganwith wins over Lacey andcrosstown rival Point Beach,but culminated in a loss inthe first round of statesagainst Cinnaminson.The game against Lacey

ended 6-2 in favor of the Pan-thers.On the mound to start the

game was Michael Falconetti,who cashed in one strikeoutthrough three innings, whileonly allowing one run.The first Lacey run came

in the top of the first inning.It did not make much differ-ence as Point Boro put tworuns on the board with theirturn at bat. With runners onsecond and third, Falconettiripped a single past first andinto right field. The hitscored Boro’s first two runsof the game.In the second inning, the

Boro defense made quickwork of Lacey with a fly outto Sam Monaco at shortstop,a groundout also handled byMonaco and a strikeout fromFalconetti on the mound.

In the bottom of the sec-ond the Panthers explodedwith five runs, all of whichcame after Lacey secured twoouts.With runners on second

and third, Bill Sheehansmacked a double down thefirst baseline, scoring bothBoro runners. FrankGraziano then hit a double toleft field, plating Sheehan.Catcher Sebastian Severiokept it going with a line driveto right field and anotherPanther RBI. With the score6-2, Lacey secured the thirdout to end Point Boro’s run.The score remained the

same in the third and fourthinnings. The only change thatoccurred was Tim Rossi step-ping to the rubber in thefourth inning. He securedtwo strikeouts.The fifth inning started

with a Lacey double and thena groundout that scored arun. Point Boro quickly cor-rected itself and secured thenext two outs before furtherdamage was done.The Panthers were unable

to increase their lead in theirfinal two at bats but they didnot need to, seeing as Rossitook control and closed outthe game.

In the top of the sixth hegot the first Lacey batter toground out and then struckout the next two batters hefaced.In the top of the final in-

ning Rossi retired the sidewith three straight strikeouts,claiming the victory at homefor Point Boro.Head coach David Drew

was proud of the win, espe-cially after Wednesday’s ex-tra-inning loss to Rumson-Fair Haven.“It felt good. We played a

real tough game yesterdayand we wanted to get back to.500 before that state tourna-ment, and we knew we had tocome out here and hit theball,” stated Drew. “Not onlyto get to .500, but we madesure we got every senior inthe game today and we werefortunate enough to do that.”As always, he was happy

with the way his two pitchersperformed on the mound.“We have a strong pitching

staff,” he said. “Even with theinjuries to this pitching staff,these guys have reallystepped up in a big way.”Because of the injuries,

each pitcher has seen a lotmore time on the mound. Be-cause of this, Drew has beenrotating them in games

around four innings at a timeto help them be able to per-form late in the season.Drew knows he is fortu-

nate to have both Falconettiand Rossi at his disposal, say-ing, “When you have guyslike Rossi out there, andMichael, closing the door andgetting outs and strikeouts inbig spots, it makes my jobeasier.”After securing a big win

against Point Beach at FirstEnergy Park Sunday night[see related story], the Pan-thers had their gloves fullwhen they traveled to take onCinnaminson in the firstround of the state tourna-ment.Point Boro lost 12-9 with

the difference really being

the three runs Cinnaminsonscored in the first inning.In the second inning, both

teams put a run on the boardand Boro was trailing 4-1.In the third, though, they

were unable to generate anyoffense and their defensegave up five runs. Cinnamin-son held a 9-1 lead but thePanthers continued to chipaway at the lead.In the fifth, they added one

run to their total but alsogave up two, but Boro cameto play and it showed late inthe game.They batted in four runs in

the top of the sixth inning.They did their best to keepCinnaminson down but theylet up another run in the bot-tom of the sixth inning.

Point Boro was down 12-7and had one last chance atbat to construct a comeback.They managed two moreruns before Cinnaminson se-cured the third out andclosed the door on the Pan-thers.It was a tough way to end

the season, but Point Borodid not give in easily andmade a strong case for whythey belong up there with thebest of them.Quin Hornish finished the

game with three RBIs on twohits. Rossi secured twostrikeouts on three inningspitched.

“I was watching theFrench Open and Nadal wasplaying, and it was just theintensity and the passion.He’s still my favorite payerto this day,” recalled PointBeach senior tennis playerGerard Giordano. “How hepractices, how he trains,and just his mental strength— nothing distracted him,and he was just an incredi-ble athlete in every aspect. Ithought it was incredible.”That’s where Giordano’s

love for tennis began.Now, it has culminated in

him winning the OceanCounty Tournament firstsingles title for the second

year in a row.“He came into the week-

end very focused and moti-vated to defend his singlestitle, and he did exactlythat,” said head coach BrianMcElwee. “It was nice tosee him go out on top. Afterhis great career at the highschool, this was the perfectending. He deserved it.”According to Giordano,

his drive to excel at tennisreally took off after Hurri-cane Sandy.“Hurricane Sandy put

this flicker in my head. Yougotta do something to sepa-rate yourself from every-body,” he said. “Tennis was

a big passion of mine and Ilooked at that as a way toget to college and to get intoa good college that youcouldn’t normally get intojust through academics. Ijust really loved it and I re-ally loved dedicating my lifeto one single purpose.”Tennis was that purpose

and Giordano will be play-ing tennis next year at TheCollege of New Jersey,something he is excitedabout.He prides himself on his

mental strength, somethinghe feels is his strongest as-set.He also appreciates all

that his parents have doneto help get him to where heis today.“I wouldn’t be anywhere

without my parents. Tennisis a lot of traveling, so theydo so much for me — Idon’t really know how Icould ever thank them foreverything they’ve done forme the past few years,”Giordano said. “We travel

all over the place and theyjust do it. They don’t objectto it and are big support-ers.”Giordano thrives on the

one-on-one aspect of ten-nis, saying, “There’s next tono coaching. Overall you’reout there by yourself.There’s no teammates, no-body can help you. You con-trol everything for yourself.You control your success.You control your failure. Ireally loved that I had fullcontrol over what I wantedto do with that.”Giordano is well in con-

trol of his own destiny andwill continue to see successon and off the court.

It’s easy to be the winningteam. I’m not saying it is easyto win, but when a team issuccessful and wins on a reg-ular basis, it is not a hardthing to come to terms with.Along with winning comes

celebrating and enjoying themoment every time it hap-pens.Sure, sometimes it is hard

to win gracefully and not gooverboard, but it is not quiteas hard as always losing butstill having the heart to con-tinue to compete.Such is the case with the

Point Boro girls lacrosseteam. They recently closedthe door on another winlessseason this week.I covered a great amount

of their games this season.Some games they neverscored a goal and lost bydouble digits. But the crazything about it was that I wasnever disappointed by theteam.

Day in and day out, thosegirls went out on the lacrossefield and played their best.They never turned away.They never sat down andthought there was no pointin playing if they were goingto lose. They went out andcompeted. More important-ly, they went out and hadfun.I tip my hat to the girls

lacrosse team.Behind head coach Megan

Fritz they have established aculture that realizes winningis not the most importantpart of the game.Every time I spoke with a

player after a loss, I neversaw an expression otherthan a smile. They wouldlaugh about what wentwrong and smile because itwas something they couldimprove on in the future.They acknowledged eachother’s accomplishmentseach and every game and

never stopped cheering eachother on.My point is that the fact

these girls faced losing on aregular basis throughout theseason but never called itquits really speaks a lot totheir character.That is the benefit of los-

ing. It gives you the opportu-nity to sit back and evaluatewhat you hold importantand what establishes howyou think of yourself.In talking with the gradu-

ating seniors on the team, Ifound that all of them recog-nized the bond the team cre-ated over the past coupleseasons. A bond that saidthey would be there for eachother with no focus on thenumbers up on the score-board.That could be why the

seniors were in tears at theend of their last game onMonday. Not because theygave up 18 goals and not be-cause they did not score a

goal of their own, but be-cause it was the last timethey would play in a highschool lacrosse game witheach other.That is the moment when

it hits you. Sports go way be-yond winning or losing.Sports develop relationshipsand camaraderie. Being apart of team has a lasting im-pression and helps shapeeach individual on the team.And while winning is fun,losing and going throughthose hard times with yourteam are the moments thattruly shape who you are.So pay close attention to

those members of the girlslacrosse team. They havelearned a lot about what ittakes to remain determinedand not give in despite theodds.And when that win finally

comes, which it most defi-nitely will, they will truly ap-preciate it in all its glory.

POINT BORO — The PointBoro girls lacrosse teamwrapped up another winlessseason on Monday. Theyhosted powerhouse Rumson-Fair Haven, who has only lostone game all season. Rumsontook the win 18-0.The Panthers were not too

concerned with winning,though. They went out to en-joy their final game of theseason and some had the op-

portunity to play differentpositions.Senior Liz Peled played the

first half in goal, where shehas been all season long. Inthe second half she removedthe bulky goalie gear, tradedher goalie stick for a regularone and had the opportunityto play in the field for her lastgame.After the game the four

seniors — Peled, Nicole Fava-to, Tori Zaccheo, and ErinHoffman — embraced each

other, capping off their highschool lacrosse careers.“The seniors are great.

These girls are the first roundof girls that I’ve coached allfour years as varsity,” saidhead coach Megan Fritz.“That’s been a treat for me,just growing with them theselast four years.”Fritz has never wavered in

her support of the graduatingseniors and the mindset theyhave introduced to the Pan-ther team.

“They just really love thesport and they love the teamand it shows. They reallyhave done everything theycould this season to reallymake it a memorable one foreveryone and not just them-selves,” she said.The season was another

tough one as the team never

the lead with two more inthe sixth, eventually taking thewin 4-1.The girls put the loss be-

hind them and performed ex-tremely well the very nextday.“We know we have a pitch-

er, we know we have goodfielding and our bats, whenthey’re working, good thingshappen,” DeCristofano saidafter the shutout win overHighland Park. “It’s a nicefeeling. They’re a great groupof girls, a really nice team.”Kylee Kells got hot from the

pitcher’s circle early and nev-er looked back. In the first in-ning she struck out the firstthree Highland Park batters.The rest of the Garnet Gulls

got things rolling in the bot-tom of the inning from thebatter’s box.Alexa Russell started it off

with a double to left field, slid-ing in safely at second underthe tag. Kells then hit a liner toleft for a double and an RBI.Point Beach then proceed-

ed to load the bases on a walkand a single before AlexBarnes ripped a hardgrounder to left field bringingin two runs. The hit was goodenough for another double.Sarah Scott then added an-

other double with two RBIs.The first out of the inningcame when Sam Kelly laiddown a bunt with two strikesthat landed foul.Katie Ranuro then ground-

ed out to short but the hitscored another Garnet Gullrun. The inning eventuallyended on an infield fly but thedamage was done and PointBeach had jumped out to a fa-vorable 6-0 lead.In the second inning, the

Gulls gave up a single butKells secured the three outson strikeouts. In the bottom ofthe inning they added anotherrun on an RBI double fromKellyann Ohlinger.The score remained the

same through the top of thethird inning and then PointBeach increased its lead to 11with its turn at bat.The Garnet Gull defense

did not have much to do withKells on the mound, but theymade the plays when neces-sary.On defense in the fourth in-

ning, Russell made a rollingcatch on a short blooper toshort for the first out.“I guess shortstop is my po-

sition now and I just feel com-fortable there. Really comfort-able,” said Russell, whooriginally was a second base-man.Kells claimed the next two

outs and then the final threein the fifth inning for the win.She ended up with 12 strike-outs for 12 of the 15 total outsof the game.“I knew coming into it I was

really confident,” Kells said af-ter the first-round win. “Wewere all pumped up and weknew this could be our lastgame, so we just played on topand really well.”

“What I do like is that eventhough she can, she doesn’toverpower people. What shedoes is she tries to pitch,” De-Cristofano said about Kells.“She got a couple people withchangeups, she got peoplewith her curve, screwball, andshe used everything. Somepitchers throw — she pitch-es.”Russell was happy with the

win and the opportunity toplay another game at home,saying, “I didn’t think wewould have a home game hereagain so it’s just great knowingthat we played again on thisfield. I’m really looking for-ward to the next game. We’regoing to go all out again.”“We didn’t underestimate

this team so we kind ofbrought our all and it felt greatto have all those runs againstthem,” she added.Point Beach wanted to keep

momentum as the Gulls head-ed into the second roundagainst the one-seeded BoundBrook team, but first theyknew some adjusting wouldbe necessary. The HighlandPark pitcher had a slower paceso the team utilized practiceto prepare for the faster speedof Bound Brook.The Gulls showed intensity

and poise but eventually fellto Bound Brook 3-0 on Tues-day. The three runs came latein the game during the fifth in-ning and Point Beach was un-able to respond offensively.“I feel bad for Kells on a day

like that when she really washumming; she was doingeverything right,” DeCristo-fano said about the loss. “It’sthat zero on the other side andthat’s been an all-year thing.It’s not like we don’t hit. Wehit. We got runners on base.We just need that timely hit toget people in and we’ve strug-gled with that.”Kells struck out nine batters

in the loss, walked one andonly allowed six hits. From theplate, Barnes went 2-for-3 andRussell went 1-for-3.It’s always tough to lose

during the state tournament,but Beach played well aboveit’s eight-seed ranking, makingDeCristofano proud.“I’m proud of how they

played. It’s tough. You take thelong ride; you play a teamyou’ve never seen eventhough you try to figure outeverything about what theyhave and how they play theirpitcher,” he explained. “Con-sidering that, I’m proud ofhow they played I just wish itended a little different, that’sall.”

POINT BOROThe Panthers also fell short,

but in the first round of thestate tournament Saturdaymorning.They went up against three-

seeded Robbinsville on theroad and were shut out 7-0 onthe road. Boro only producedtwo hits in the loss.Point Boro was coming off

of a win on the road againstFreehold Borough.They took the victory 6-2

last Thursday in their finalgame of the regular season.

found a win, but spirits alwaysremained high and the teamnever stopped supportingeach other regardless of whatthe scoreboard showed.“That’s the culture we triedto create over the past coupleyears, especially once we start-ed getting in to these divisionsthat have these really toughteams,” explained Fritz. “Lastyear we made it our goal towin the sportsmanship awardbecause we knew we were go-ing up against RBC [Red BankCatholic] and Ocean, andthose would be tough games.This year we made it our goalto have a win. We unfortunate-ly didn’t meet that goal. But we

did play some amazing gamesand that’s all I can really ask ofthem.”One such amazing gamewas against Ranney at home.The team lost the game by onegoal that came late in over-time. Favato scored sevengoals that game and Peledmade 25 saves in goal.Fritz loves her team andknows it is not about winning,saying, “It’s always been apleasure to come out. I’ve nev-er walked away from a gameupset of how they behaved oracted.”With the leading scorer, Fa-vato, and Peled, the goalie,graduating, Fritz and the teamlook to the offseason to gearup for next year.“We’re doing some clinicsand we do end-of-the-season

evaluations so at the evalua-tions we give out all kinds ofcamp and clinic information,”stated Fritz, who will be reach-ing out to middle school andelementary girls to spark theirinterest in the sport.As for the girls who will bereturning next year, Fritz said,“The girls will be practicing ontheir own. They’re getting aGoodSports team together. Ithink that’s really our keything is making sure we playyear round.”The team boasts someyoung talent that Fritz hopescan help translate into a winfor next season. They willkeep practicing and, more im-portantly, keep their heads upand focused for next season.“We’ll look forward to nextyear,” she said. “We have a lotof young girls coming up thatare talented, so I’m really ex-cited.”

The second set was muchstronger and he won 6-0.On Sunday, he then had toface third-seeded BrandonGildea of Southern. Giordanoremained a force on the court,defeating Gildea in two sets, 6-1 and 6-1.The final round ended up aclassic one-seed versus two-seed match as Giordano wentup against Boyle.

He defeated Boyle 6-4in the first set and 6-2 in thenext.“It felt really great to win itagain,” said Giordano. “Goinginto the season you always setgoals for yourself, and that wasa really big goal for myself towin that.”According to him, they werenot even sure if the tourna-ment would happen because ofthe threat of rain. Giordanosaid he had to remain mentallysound, especially on Saturdaywhere the rate of play was a bitrushed. Luckily the rain heldoff until after the tournamentfinished on Sunday.

He also did not concentratetoo much on being the two-seed, even though he won thetournament last year and wasthe one-seed at the time.“I didn’t really think about ittoo much. It’s just a numbernext to your name,” he ex-plained. “It doesn’t decreaseyour chances of winning it,that’s what my parents toldme.”Giordano was also happy histeam supported him in the fi-nals, saying, “It was really niceto have some of my teammatesthere on Sunday.”Giordano’s outstanding per-formance along with strongplay from the rest of the Gar-net Gulls team propelled themto a sixth-place finish out of 16teams.“We got sixth overall as ateam, which was really great,”said Giordano. “I was reallyhappy for them.”Trevor Hinds was given theeight-seed and battled it outagainst Robert McMahon, thenine-seed from Toms RiverSouth, in the first round.

Point Boro’s student section, the Panther Pit, was happy with Saturday’s results and showed full supportthroughout.

bringing in a fellow Panther.The score remained 4-0

Point Boro through the sec-ond inning. Point Beachbrought in Kevin Donnelly topitch and he kept the Pan-thers at bay.The Gulls finally got on the

board in the top of the thirdinning. With one out putaway, Mike Frauenheim belt-ed a triple to the left center-field wall. Teammate GenoAntognoli followed it up witha double to center field andthe first Beach run of thegame. The next batter popped out

for the second out and the fi-nal out came on a strikeoutfrom Josiah Gliddon, whohad replaced Falconetti forBoro to start the third inning.Both defenses played

strong in the fourth inningand the score stayed still at 4-1 in favor of Point Boro.Point Beach was having

trouble advancing runners onbase all the way to home andstill could not find a way toscore. Thomas Paul came into pitch for Boro in the top ofthe fifth and he recorded twostrikeouts.In the bottom of the fifth

inning, Boro exploded witheight runs. The first came ona suicide squeeze where DanBellofatto laid down a buntthat traveled the third baseline and scored Gene Frans-

eschini. Bellofatto showed offhis speed and beat the throwto first as well.After securing another

out, Point Beach loaded thebases and head coach Ange-lo Fiore took a jog to themound to replace Donnelly.John VanSchoick took con-trol of the mound and itlooked like he would get outof the jam.Gabe Pesante, the first

batter to face VanSchoick,hit a high fly ball to rightfield that went in and out ofJohn Daly’s glove. Pesante’shit amounted to a doubleand scored three Pantherrunners. Pesante then stolethird and eventually scoredon a John Youmans single.VanSchoick fought on the

mound and closed out theinning with a strikeout.In the sixth, Paul recorded

another strikeout and thePanther defense continuedkeeping the Gulls from scor-ing.In the bottom of the in-

ning VanSchoick added astrikeout to his totals andRyan Franzoni recorded theother two outs with solid de-fense at third.With Boro on top 9-1 all

they had to do was close outthe top of the seventh inningto claim the rivalry win onsenior night.Tim Rossi came in for the

Panthers and started the in-ning with two straightstrikeouts. He then gave up awalk and hit the next batter

to put two Garnet Gulls onbase. The final out came ona grounder to third thatFitzsimmons handled with-out a problem.Senior Panther Sean Con-

nor was happy with thenight’s events.“It feels really good. I

mean, I was so excited com-ing in,” he said. “We playedreally good today.”Connor has slowly im-

proved his hitting at theplate, contributing crucialRBIs in the last few gamesthis season.“I’ve always been comfort-

able at the plate during thewhole season and recently Ijust got really hot and it’sbeen sticking,” he explained.“I’m going to keep holdingonto it into states and I hopeit stays because I’m a big batin the lineup.”Although it was not a

game that came down to thelast at bat in extra innings,the energy that comes withthe crosstown rivalry wasstill present. Both teams hadbig crowds for support andto cheer on every play.The Point Boro Panthers

remain sole owner of brag-ging rights for Point Pleasantuntil the two teams meetagain.

five-mile racers started onone side of Treasure Island,paddled out past a buoy andaround the island out two-and one-half miles under theRoute 70 Bridge, and back toRiverfront Park. The two-mileroute was the same but theyturned around just short ofthe bridge.The top three male finish-

ers in the five-mile race wereRyan Matthews [Prone Divi-sion], Terry Kent [SUP 14]and Robin Delgado [SUP 14].The top three female finish-ers were Stephanie Shideler[SUP 12-6], Veronica Ribot-Canales [SUP 12-6] and KimLevins [SUP 12-6].Matthews, a resident of As-

bury Park, won the five-milerace from the prone paddleposition, way ahead of theother competitors. Prone pad-dling is when you sit on yourknees and paddle with yourarms.“I got into prone paddling

through life saving. I do com-petitive lifeguard events,” ex-plained Matthews.He also pointed out that he

was not there to win. He justwanted to participate, havefun and help with thefundraiser.“It’s always fun. I try to do

races that are fundraisers,” heexplained. “It’s nice to win,but it’s not the most impor-tant reason I do it. I just liketo be on the water and raise alittle money.”Michael Naughton traveled

from Philadelphia to take partin the two-mile recreationalrace, in which he finishedfirst.He explained why he en-

tered this race, saying, “Mycompany makes the perform-ance monitors that measurestroke rate, speed, distance,time, heart rate and location. Ifigured I should figure outhow to do the sport.”Naughton was happy with

his finish and the conditionson Sunday morning.“I entered the race and it

was a lot of fun, just mylength. The water was finebut when the wash camethrough I was trashed. I’m nota surfer so I just stoppeddead,” he explained.He also hopes to return if

the race becomes an annualevent, saying, “This was a ton

of fun. Everyone is so niceand it was a great event.”The second-place finisher

in the two-mile was StephanO’Connor, a local from PointPleasant Boro.“They said it would be a

nice day so I thought I’d go af-ter it,” he stated. “The windwas a little helpful comingback but it wasn’t as much aswe thought.”O’Connor has been paddle-

boarding for a couple yearsbut the Treasure Island PiratePaddle was his first raceevent. The 39-year-old said hewould do the five-mile race ifthey have it next year.Dee Schmitz, a good friend

of Bubnowski, took first placein the women’s two-mile race.Schmitz is also the owner ofSUP New Jersey, where sheoffers SUP lessons.She was happy with how

the race was coordinated andplayed out, saying, “[It was]excellent communication, liketop notch. I knew about it ear-ly on in the season so I couldget a lot of my students whomight be interested downhere. So it was a huge turnoutespecially for the first raceearly in the season.”As race director, Bubnows-

ki put in a lot of work in a rel-atively short amount of timeto get the race on the water.Also the owner of the com-

pany Paddle Surf New Jerseyand a Point Pleasant resident,Bubnowski has been a surferfor about 40 years and gotinto SUP around 10 years ago.Through talking with friends,he got the idea to put a racetogether back in Decemberand then got the ball rolling.“We had to secure a date to

make sure our race didn’tconflict with another. We alsowanted to set it before Memo-rial Day weekend, which is abig holiday along the shore,”explained Bubnowski.They then had to meet with

the Coast Guard to secure apermit and give a presenta-tion to the mayor and council.“Everybody was in favor of

this and they expressed howhappy they were and how or-ganized everything was,” hestated.The race was also a

fundraiser with the net pro-ceeds being donated to SaintPeter School in Point PleasantBeach.Bubnowski recognized the

popularity of the sport and

wanted to provide otherswith the opportunity to par-ticipate in it.“Over the years the market

has tipped where 50 percentof the people are comingfrom other disciplines like ca-noeing and kayaking. Thesport has just exploded in thelast few years, both men andwomen,” stated Bubnowski.“Everyone realizes it’s ahealthy sport to do and thelearning curve is rathershort.”People that participated

were mostly local to New Jer-sey but some made the tripfrom New York, Delawareand Pennsylvania.All participants received a

“swag bag” consisting of arace bag, a T-shirt, Jones bars,stickers and discountcoupons, and a shot glassfrom the race’s first officialsponsor, Tattoo Tequila.According to Bubnowski,

he tried to utilize what hecould locally. The trophiesthat were awarded to winnerswere designed by a localglasswork shop and the neck-laces the women receivedwere done by Sunshine Day-dream, a local jewelry store inPoint Pleasant Beach.He also expressed his grati-

tude for the support he re-ceived from Mayor Bob Sa-bosik and Police ChiefRichard Larsen beginningback in January.“I would also like to thank

the Point Pleasant Boro Vol-unteer Fire Department forproviding support boats andthe Point Pleasant Boro FirstAid,” said Bubnowski. “Noneof this would have been possi-ble without their efforts.”It is safe to say the race was

a success. Bubnowski wasmore than pleased with theturnout and believes it willcome around again next year.“For a first-year race we

thought if we got 75 peoplethat would be successful. Weactually have a turnout of 158registered paddlers. We hadto close registration a fewdays early or we would havebeen well over 200,” he said.“I couldn’t be happier withthe turnout. It’s absolutelyamazing.”


Huge turnout for first-time racePADDLEFROM PAGE 35


The action this past week-end was quite different fromthe week before as oceantemperatures dropped downfrom 56 degrees down to 51degrees due to the hard southwinds. As a result the bigbluefish that were all overthe oceanfront were hard tocome by. Boaters and partyboats really struggled onSaturday to put together anykind of catch. It seems thatthese big blues have movedoffshore to the east for thetime being.Bunker have also been

absent from our area and sohave the striped bass.Typically by now the bunkerare thick and snagging ornetting them is pretty easy asis catching some big bass, butthat is not happening.Hopefully the bunker willshow up this week and somebig bass will move up fromthe south. Every season thesebig bass average 25 to 35pounds. We also see a waveof 40 pounds bass comethrough for about a week ortwo and sometimes a class of50 plus pound bass show upfor about a week.Since bunker have been

absent trolling bunkerspoons has been the mostproductive method to catchstripers at this time. In thelast week the most produc-tive area has been off of thenorth end of Island BeachState Park in 60 feet of water.Some of the most effectivespoons to use are the TonyMaja bunker spoons. Checko u twww.tonymajaproducts.comand you will see everythingthere along with articles andinstructional videos as whatto use and how to fish thespoons.Fluke season opens tomor-

row Friday, and regulations

for this season are a five fishdaily bag limit measuring atleast 18 inches. I spoke to acommercial dragger this pastweekend who was workinginside of Seaside and he saidthree tows produced 400pounds of fluke. So that’s nota lot. This would mean a lotof fluke have not yet movedin from offshore. I do thinkhowever some boaters willcatch a few fluke that aredecent in size on openingday.Steven Perna of The

Berkeley Striper Club hasannounced “The BSC willhold our Annual SpringStriped Bass Catch andRelease Tournament May 29to June 6. The 2015 tourna-ment will continue to be acatch and release format andinclude both a surf divisionand a boat/kayak division.“With the conversion from akill tournament to a catchand release format last yearwe had a fantastic event anda huge success with anincrease in participation ofover 55 percent,” said John

TIP OF THE WEEKFROM JIM FREDA

When netting a big bass,

place a rubber band around

the net bag securing it to

the pole. This will keep the

net from falling into the

face of the bass that can

result in possibly catching

the hooks in the bag. When

the bass is in the net and

you lift up, the elastic band

will break and the bag will

open fully.
