NOTE: Unfortunately Dan can't make Event #3 due to his reconditioning program following his recent hand injury, but Nikki will be there and every nipper meeting Nikki will go in the draw to win the Dolphin Nipper Foamie!!!
Due to Dan not being able to make Oceans 11 the competition for the Dolphin Nipper Foamie will be extended to Nationals! So now you've got even more chance to go in the draw!
Event #4

New event!!! Because Dan won't be able to attend Oceans 11 there will now be an additional opportunity to meet Dan during the early stages of the Nationals in March.
