Surf Fest 09 is scheduled to take place Tuesday, October 27th and Wednesday, October 28th.  A Live Band will play Friday, October 30th, 7-9 PM SLT

Location:  Surf the Pacific Coast Highway.  The quiet surfing community and winding highway that leads you down the shoreline of the most treacherous stretch of the Northern Pacific Coast Highway for vehicles.  Who knows when you may lose control of the wheel and end up 30m down to a surfer's most feared demise.  With a bridge connecting two sides to a river emptying it's mouth into the Pacific on one side, a rugged shoreline beach in the middle, and a deadly boneyard lining the wall of the cliffs edge...


Competition Format: An Open Invitational the first night.   Tuesday will be Open Qualifyer open to any surfer who wishes to surf with an invited list of some of SL's Surfing Stars from every surfing circuit in SL. Qualifiers will advance from the Open to the Invitational through a highest heat judges average. Heats are timed at 6 minutes with 2 surfers in the water.  Just take your waves - timing the sets is important.
