our friends at the Ocean Park Surf & Skate Clubare putting on their third annual surf contest at the end of this month!  There are lost of categories for men, women, kids and even those odd bodysurfers.  It’s a two day community surf contest that brings people together for a good time at the beach. Divisions include Bodysurf, Girls, Boys, Juniors, Women, Men, and Masters.

The contest is organized by the Ocean Park Surf Club and is presented by the ZJ Boarding House, along with a number of top local and industry sponsors including, Jeff Ho, SMA, Ocean Park Clothing Co., Arbor, Body Glove, Chano, Rip Curl, O’Neill, Anderson, Rip City, Bolt, Rider Shack, Ransom, REI, Bob’s Market, Converse, Bennett Skateboards, KeVita, Calavera, Shaper Supply, Bagel Nosh, and Starbucks.

There are also a number of community volunteers from the Ocean Park Surf Club that help to plan, organize, and manage the contest, including judging, support, and entertainment.
