Team Ben and Jeff's Surf Day

Team Ben and Jeff's Surf Day

One of the benefits of having Ben and Jeff's Burgers and Tacos next door to the surf shop is the restaurant staff makes us a killer lunch every day! So yesterday we decided to return the favor by taking everyone surfing. For Jenny and Horacio it was the first time on a surfboard. After a few tips on the beach from our surf instructor Nick, the crew took to the water. The waves were small and a bit disorganized, but that didn't stop everyone from having a great time! Horacio had to be rescued by Jeff after getting caught in the rip, Casey was catching some "bombs" on the outside, Ben dropped in on Jeff and has never been happier, and Jenny was the last one out of the water and seemed to have the best time. It was a fun morning and everyone was asking when they could go again! Stoked........

Ben and Jeff want to thank their staff for all the hard work, loyalty, and good times!

Also, thanks to Greg for taking the photos.

“How would you describe the Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic” is a question I get asked during interviews ahead of each year’s contest. The simple answer is to say that it’s a local surf contest put on by a dedicated group of volunteers. The truth is that the contest is something more than that. It has its own soul. It has a life that we and the organizers before us can’t take credit for. I would like to think we had something to do with it, but the reality is the Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic has become something far beyond anything anyone ever imagined.

It's that time of year again, and we're opening registration for our 2025 Youth Surf Camps! Youth surf camps are open to kids ages 10 - 16 with some flexibility, and all levels are welcome!

Both cheers of support and loud laughter were heard throughout Pacific City this past weekend as surfers and spectators gathered on the beach to root on the participants in the annual Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic. This year marks the 25th running of the beloved community event.
Started in 1998 by Bob and Michelle Ledbetter, the contest has grown to become a staple of the NW surf community. It not only attracts surfers throughout Oregon, but this year saw people from Canada, California, Washington and even Hawaii make the pilgrimage.
