Thirteenth Annual Tony Mezzadri Surf Classic

The Sunset Cliffs Surfing Association is hosting this great annual event at the OB Pier, as a benefit surf contest for spinal cord research.

A number of years ago Tony Mezzadri, surfing at the Ocean Beach pier, was paralyzed with no movement in his legs and limited movement in his hands and arms. The Ocean Beach community rose to help Tony and this contest has been held yearly since 1994. The proceeds from entry fees, T-shirt sales, raffles, a spaghetti dinner, and donations from sponsor companies were originally to help Tony with this catastrophic event, but now enough money is collected that funds go to support spinal cord research.

The event will include a Grom division, a junior open division for boys and girls ages 9 to 13, as well as both long and shortboard age group divisons.

RAFFLE TO BENEFIT SPINAL CORD RESEARCH:
Only $10 for a chance to win a $3,000 David Linton painting.

When: Saturday, September 23rd
Where: Ocean Beach Pier, San Diego
Time: First heat is at 7:00 AM
