Surf City Days  in Downtown Huntington Beach, Annual Event Sep. 14 -15, 2013
 

 

A new event, Surf City Days, was launched in 2011 to feature board elements -- paddleboarding, surfboard swap and sales, and a sand sculpture contest. The event is similar to an event previously held in Huntington Beach in 2003. That particular event was a sand castle festival. This event, however, combines outdoor water and ocean sports activities with downtown Huntington Beach activities and entertainment over a two day period in what's typically considered the tourist shoulder season. It has integrated the City of Huntington Surf Contest open to residents, as part of the 2 day action.

According to the Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District (HBDBID), events at Surf City Days include paddleboarding, surfing and volleyball. Surf City Days to include music, vendors and Green Expo on Saturday, which as been planned and co-sponsored by the City of Huntington Beach.

Brett Barnes of Dukes Huntington Beach, recommended a Board Fest concept. A previous Boardfest (boardfest.com) has been on hiatus for several years but was previously held in September and included board components as its focus.

Meeting with the City of Huntington Beach Community Services Department to discuss the Surf City Days event held at the same time the Community Surfing Contest is taking place, they agreed that the two events compliment each other and make for the perfect match.

This event will include paddle board race, lifeguard challenge and possibly a celebrity surf event. On Main Street there will be featured vendors with all types of board;, surf, paddle, skate, snow, etc. Also there may be a vintage surfboard auction and surf art.
