Don’t Miss the 9th Annual OB Surf & Skate Classic in Early May
The OB Surf & Skate Classic, a celebration of surf and skate culture in San Diego, is returning to Ocean Beach on May 3 and May 4.
The event is presented by The Hodad’s Foundation and AWOL Productions. There are a variety of competitive divisions for both young and old surfers and skaters, including a Family Division, Longboard and Shortboard categories, and more.
While surfers will be able to catch some waves on the waters off Ocean Beach, there will also be a variety of ramps, pipes, and courses for skaters.
There will be surf divisional competitions on both Saturday, May 3 and Sunday, May 4. Additionally, there will also be skate divisions on Sunday, May 4 near the Ocean Beach Pier.
All registered participants will receive special OB Surf &S kate Classic t-shirts, and there are exclusive trophies available for category winners. Attendees can expect a festival-like atmosphere with live music, vendors, food trucks, and craft beers from Hodad’s Brewery.
However, the OB Surf & Skate Classic is about a lot more than just winning a competition — it’s also a celebration of community and giving back. Proceeds from the event will support youth sports, mental illness support, and more.
