NSSA EXPLORER SEASON #5-#6 POSTPONED

Wednesday, December 31, 2025 | Written by Gayline Clifford

NSSA Explorer Season #5&6  POSTPONED

 

Once again Mother Nature is not being kind to the event (although we always need the rain in California).  Due to the large amount of rain expected over the next 5 days (for a total of 1”) we are going to have to postpone the events this weekend at 9th St in Huntington Beach.  I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused but unfortunately, they kept changing the weather day to day.  I was hoping for the best, but the outlook is not good.  Better safe than sorry.

 

We are shooting to run it at 9th St. on January 17-18.  Once I hear back from the beach I will confirm that.

 

If you can’t make that weekend, we will give you the option of taking last place points for these events so you can still qualify.  But you MUST let me know no later than Monday Jan. 12 if you want to exercise this option. 

 

Thank you and again sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
