OMBAC 29th Annual Classic Longboard Surfing Contest

OMBAC 29th Annual Classic Longboard Surfing Contest

UPDATE: Things area little different this year as we don't have a cottage for staging and judging.  

There will be a "committee meeting" the night before the OMBAC Classic Longboard Surfing Contest Friday, September 15th at The Local PB (809 Thomas Ave, San Diego, CA 92109)  5:00 - 8:00 pm. As always, there'll be plenty of food hosted by DaKines, with drinks available for purchase at the Local.  We will be out on the patio so kids are allowed until 9PM.  If you know you're coming, drop me a line so I have a general idea of numbers; on the other hand, there's nothing wrong with just dropping by. Questions, send Chad Baker an email at This email address is being protected from spambots.
