Since 1980, once a year, local monterey county surfers and their familie s have gathered on the squeaky white sands of Carmel beach for a weekend of friendly surf competition. The weekend marks the only calendar dates throu ghout the whole year where our surf community's coming together is not dict ated by chance ideal surf conditions. Instead, we come together for each ot her, and to celebrate our shared love for a life of chasing waves on our ce ntral coast and beyond.
The Surfabout was originally established by B rad Johnson and Tom Knight, founders and original purveyors of Sunshine Fre estyle in Monterey, an iconic local's-first surf shop and the lifeblood of organized surf community on the Monterey Peninsula for over thirty years. T he original intention of the surf contest was to create an opportunity for local surfers from otherwise smaller micro surf tribes on the Monterey Peni nsula to gather, connect, and enjoy the water together amidst a weekend of friendly but earnest surf competition.
Over time, while always retain ing its spirit of local surf competition, the contest has evolved into a fa mily friendly community gathering of all Monterey Peninsula ocean lovers an d beach goers. Together, we share a passion of recreating in the waters of the central coast, and for the friendships created along the way.
Whi le new elements have been added and subtracted to the Surfabout throughout the years, the contest centers around three different main competitive cate gories--Surfing, long boarding, and the long distance paddle.
With de ep gratitude for and continued guidance from the Sunshine Freestyle team an d their 37 year run of producing the event and the endless amount of hours contributed therein, a non profit --the Monterey County Surfers Foundation- -seeks to continue the tradition.
