I just came across the 
2006 Men 's World Tour Event Calendar at
the Iba Tour site. This calendar was spread to the world ju
st 2 days ago (6 o f May). Well the years isn't starting br
ightly to profesion al BB with a calendar at the governing
association of the s port being published in May?????
Bu
t worst of all, when& nbsp;reading the full calendar, &
nbsp;I cannot see great im provements from last year World
Tour (is this reallly a Wor ld Tour???). Ok in the&nbs
p;Calendar we already have 6 International Events (I hope t
hey really go on) and a bunc h of regional Events but I ant
ecipate that there will be no great changes in prize-moneys
, organizations, live interne t coverages (none) and the us
ual weeks delay at the spreadi ng of contest informati
on at the IBA Tour Site. Speaki ng of Prize-moneys, 30.000
US Dollars is the highest prize- money of an International
Event and is just what Kelly slat er (or other) earns&
nbsp;just for himself by winning a WCT Contest (one in 
;12 Events).

I just hope t hat someone has a winnin
g strategy for the competitive side of the sport as it 
;is the most visible part of it. I miss the GOB tour stops
at Teahupoo and other world class w aves and I miss the dev
elopment of BB we saw in the 90 's. What happened alon
g the way???
Lets do something to change this.

En
ough of sadness now!

See ya all
