The format will follow World Waveski Surfing Association rules and include repercharge rounds insuring that everyone surfs at least twice in every division. The top 4 competitors in every division will receive awards.

About the surf break: C Street is a world renown point break that works from 1’ to 10’ plus and offers rides in excess of a quarter mile! Quality waves are found at multiple peaks along this mile long cobble point. This allows more rides per surf session. The actual contest site will be located ‘Up top’ at C Street just east of the Ventura River mouth.
