Top Local Surfers to Compete
at Ocean Beach, Professional Surfer Jamie Sterling to Judge
WHAT: Red Bull Rivals is a one day surf event pitting
San Diego’s North and South County locals against each other. Tapping
into an area that consistently churns out heavy-hitters in the surf
world, the contest will showcase some of the most talented local
up-and-comers. Surfers from each county will be invited to battle it
out in a head-to-head competition at Ocean Beach for ultimate bragging
rights.
Two teams of 10 will be chosen by Ocean Beach Surf and Skate in the
North and Quiver Boardworks and Cole Surfboards in the South. Unique to
this contest, the surfers will compete in a tag team format, where one
surfer from North County and one from South County will enter the water
together and surf their best three waves. They will then run to shore
and tag a teammate to go out and do the same; judges will score the best
two waves of the three for each surfer and at the end of the day the
team with the most points wins. The losing team must give up their
surfboards to the winning team, and the winning team will then donate
the boards to the Surfrider Foundation.
WHO: Twenty of San Diego’s best local surfers, trying
to win bragging rights for themselves and their county (exact names of
surfers TBA). Judges will include: Pro surfer Jamie Sterling and ASP
qualified (judging) professionals.

why would ob surfshop pick the north county team.. seems pretty retarded to me
Ha Ha you totally screwed up the press release. That would be OB in the south and Quiver in the north. That’s OK though it should be a fun event.
