2011 US West Team Blog 09/23/2011

Its September 23rd  and Teresa, my friend, and I (Galen) are one long day or 800 miles from Nags Head. Nags Head is the new location of the 2011 World Surf kayak Championships presented by Valley Surf Kayaks. The contest had to be moved after Hurricane Irene devastated Cape Hatteras. I can only imagine the organizing committee has been working overtime to get everything in line for the event. We, the US West Surf Kayak Team, are grateful for their extra work and effort to host us.
I would like to thank Kokatat for sponsoring the 2011 US West Surf Kayak Team as we get ready to compete at the World Championships. The entire team will be proudly wearing special edition knappster shorty tops and the orbit pfd. The 2011 USWSKT is made up of 18 surf kayakers ranging from 14 to 62 years old. The team brings a wealth of experience and excitement. We are especially excited to bring two juniors from Idaho, Jeffery and Troy, who will be competing in their first world championships.

Here is the 2011 USWSKT:
Johnson      Mens HP
Bensch       Mens HP
Crandall      Mens IC
Johnston     Mens HP
Judson        Mens IC
Barker      Womens IC
Licht           Mens HP
Riser        Womens IC
Steehler      Junior HP
Mitravich  Womens HP
Duncan    Womens HP
Hoff          Mens IC
Radis         Mens HP
Krugman  Womens IC
Starr         Mens HP
Wilson      Junior IC
Waddington  Mens IC

The Team has been training hard for the past 6 months getting ready for the contest. We are excited to work our hardest to bring back the team title. The US West Surf Kayak Team last won the team title in 2005 when the worlds were in Costa Rica and we are ready to bring it back again.  Follow the US West Surf Kayak Team at We will have daily updates with pictures

Over 92% overall patient satisfaction
Surgical facilities = convenience + high quality care + value

Accessible. Time-saving.

Over 70% of all ASC procedures start within seven minutes of schedule.

There are over 5,000 ASCs across the country, and with each one comes more patient choice. As the industry grows, so does the list of both outpatient surgeries and non-surgical procedures available to patients in a local, personalized ASC setting. And because of physician ownership in ASCs, scheduling of facilities and resources becomes more efficient, which means fewer surgery delays for patients. More...

Clinical excellence.

Over 50% of ASCs nationwide have an infection rate of 0%.

All healthcare facilities in the United States are highly regulated to ensure quality care and patient safety. ASCs are no exception to this rule. Our facilities are independently regulated by processes including state licensure, voluntary accreditation, and Medicare certification. Studies show this attention to quality enables ASCs to outperform when it comes to clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. More...

Efficient. Money-saving.

Choosing an ASC can save some patients over 50% out of pocket.

ASCs work to provide the best surgical experience possible at a lower cost to patients. Because they are more efficient when it comes to same-day surgery, patients typically pay less coinsurance at an ASC for the same procedure received in a hospital setting. And patients don't have to wait to see the savings; in an effort to make pricing more transparent, cost information is generally available to patients prior to surgery. More...
