A much-anticipated contest and annual event in our local community. A combination of surf, music, food, local businesses, and fun! All to help fund our FREE community educational programming and events throughout the year.

No leashes allowed!

Registration fills quickly, once bracket is full alternate spots will be open. You must be present on the beach at the time of your heat or an alternate will be selected.
