UH Students Invited to Maui Invitational Surfboard Design Contest

POSTED: August 17, 2020 -- 4:20 p.m. CT

Current University of Houston students are invited to participate in the Maui Jim Maui Invitational Surfboard Design Contest.

Each year, participating schools at the Maui Jim Maui Invitational receive their own tournament surfboard with the design coming directly from a current student.

For information about the contest, students should click HERE. Designs must follow the specifications listed below and be submitted to trmuse@central.uh.edu by October 1.

Despite being unable to see recruits compete in person, Sampson and the coaching staff have received a verbal commitment from 6'4 guard Michael Thomas from Kilgore College. Thomas is considered one of the top guards in junior college.

The student who creates the Cougars' 2021 surfboard design will be recognized at a 2020-21 home game inside the Fertitta Center and be given the opportunity to design the 2021 All-Tournament Board.
