2020 Gathering of the Tribes Coalition Contest at Church, San Onofre

2020 Gathering of the Tribes Coalition Contest at Church, San Onofre
Special Event parking will be open and board shuttle will be provided. It will run for only a few hours in the morning (6-9am) and in the afternoon/evening (starting 2 hours prior to the last heat). There is no Handicap parking. Nobody may drive down to, or park in the lower lot or drive down the access road to the beach for any reason during the contest dates. If you need to get gear down to the beach Friday of the event we will need yourpersons name making the delivery for the gate guard and the closet you may park is the lower lot to drop off gear on Friday April 17th. So bring a cart or dolly to walk your items to the beach. Leaving items on the beach overnight is your responsibility and we are not liableUsing the board shuttle is your responsibility and again leaving anything on the beach at the event or overnight is your responsibility and we are not liable. The reason I say this is we don’t have the volunteer pool to be everywhere and guard everything. I hope you understand as incidences have happened in the past.
