The 19th annual NSSA East Coast Championships presented by Nike 6.0 is set to kick off April 7-10 at New Smyrna Beach. Over 350 participants from the NSSA’s four east coast conferences (Northeast, Mid Atlantic, Southeast/North and Southeast) are looking to earn prestigious Regional titles while qualifying for slots to the 2011 NSSA National Championships in California this summer.

The LandShark Pro 2010 will take place April 14-18 at the world-famous New Smyrna Inlet surf break, on the south side of Florida’s Ponce De Leon Inlet, in Volusia County.

Signs are posted up and down the north part of New Smyrna Beach saying "Warning dangerous marine life," referring to sharks. Some call it the shark bite capital of the world. This weekend lifeguard Captain Scott Petersohn said it lived up to its reputation.
