Harry Hillier is the first person from the UK to compete in the World Deaf Surf Competition.

Harry is being kindly sponsored by Plymouth College of Art to participate in this event. Having just completed a Foundation Degree in Photography there, the college are no doubt really proud of Hillier and keen to back him all the way.

Part of the sponsorship deal will involve Harry’s surfboard displaying the new college logo, however Harry has funded the majority of this trip himself, which clearly shows his passion for the sport. Harry has been surfing since he was nine years old and has loved the sport ever since.
When he was eighteen he competed in the Deaf Olympics in Australia, where he found out about the Deaf Surfing Competition and decided he wanted to compete once he had finished his course.

The competition takes place in Honolulu in Hawaii and Harry, along with other fellow participants will fly out on the 2 July to meet each other, accustom themselves to the surroundings and get in as much practice as possible in preparation for the competition.

Harry’s main competition is thought to be the DeLao brothers from the USA who have won various levels in the competition over the past few years and will be there along with other surfers from around the world. The United Deaf Surfriders Association (USDSA) has hosted this event since 2001, with previous competitions being held in Japan and Australia.

The 22 August 2009 will see the start of the New York City sea paddle. After the success of the 2008 event, an array of surfers will be back this year to paddle 28 miles around New York City. The paddle is in aid of autism awareness and coastal preservation. There will be over 80 surfers participating in this year’s event.

The participants range from local to international surfers to professional surfing icons and celebrities. Professional surfers already confirmed for the event are Izzy Paskowitz, Garrett McNamara and Darrick Doerner and there are rumours that there will be celebrities and personalities from the world of music and acting. Some of the celebrities who have confirmed are David Chokachi, or Cody from Baywatch as he is better known, and Darian Boyle, athlete.

The event will start on the Saturday with a White Water Gala held at Monmouth Beach, New Jersey on an ocean front estate. This event will include a montage of entertainment from live music, autograph sessions and a silent auction. The event will also have an open bar which is catered for by local restaurants.

As if the gala event wasn’t exciting enough already, Monday is where the real fun begins. The actual paddle starts at 9am on the Monday at Pier One at South Street Sea Port. Surfers will paddle up the East River towards the Harlem River and then end the 28 mile paddle will finish once the participants have paddled down the River Hudson towards Manhattan.
