Surf for the Sea Results!
The 18th Annual Surf for the Sea surf contest was held at the Oceanside Pier on Saturday and Sunday, September 27 & 28, 2014. The originally scheduled event was Sept 6 & 7 at Oceanside North Jetty but was postponed due to 2 massive hurricane swells and an intense New Zealand swell that made conditions hazardous for surfing. This surfing event is in loving memory of the late Harry Bennett, Steve Leighton, Tore Bonura, Chuck “Clubber” Hundley, Banning Capps, Court Overin, John Craven, Midget Smith, Casey Williams, Chris Pompa, Michael Pultz, and most recently Susie Prestie. They
are all our local family of surfers who have passed away. This is an annual Memorial Benefit for the Environment with proceeds going to the Surfrider Foundation, San Diego Chapter, and other environmental organizations that help to raise awareness and help
protect our ocean, waves and beaches. 216 competitors received an event T-Shirt, lunch catered by Johnny Manana’s Restaurant and a chance at many raffle prizes including 4 surfboards and 6 skateboards. Local merchants and sponsors who help make this event a success year after year are: Asylum Surf Shop, Bodyglove Wetsuits, Byrne Surfboards, Dragon Optical, Eco Water, Etnies Surfwear, Firewire Surfboards, Fox Deluxe, Johnny Mananas, North County Trophies, PCH Mortgage & Real Estate, Josh Potter Art, Raz New Kreations Surf Products, Oakley, Skate One/Surf One/Positiv Skateboards, Smith Optics, Spy Optics, Standard Graphics, Sticky Bumps, SUPERBRAND Surfboards, Surfride Board Shop, The Surfrider Foundation San Diego Chapter, WSA (Western Surfing Association), Scholastic Surf Series and Zico Beverage.
The raffle was made possible by all the generous donations of local merchants and the surfing industry. A very big thank you to everyone for helping to make this another successful year for Surf for the Sea.
