Retro Surf Contest and Demo Day

Retro Surf Contest and Demo Day

Come get your groove on!

Ben & Jeff's Burgers and Tacos will be hosting the first annual Burrito Retro Classic here at Cape Kiwanda. Along with Moment Surf Company, O'Neill Wetsuits and Surftech Surf/SUP a full weekend of "old school" meets "new wave" will keep the good times flowing. On Saturday June 28th we will be having a demo day where you can take out the new O'Neill PyroTech Wetsuit for a test run and/or any number of surfboards or SUP's from Surftech. All you need will be a drivers license and credit card for deposit. Later that evening Ben & Jeff's Burgers and Tacos will be hosting a movie night with free appetizers and showing "Hawaiian" The Legend of Eddie Aikau.

The Burrito Retro Classic will be held either day, June 28th or 29th, depending on best conditions. The format is simple, the person having the most fun wins! Age groups will be 16 years old and under, and 17 years old to dead. Any single fin, twin fin, or pre 1990 shortboard will be allowed. Points will be awarded for "retro" inspired surfboard, manuevers, costume and/or wetsuit. Winners will receive free burritos from Ben & Jeff's and a really cool trophy.

Call or stop by Moment Surf Company to sign up or if you have any questions. Can you dig it man!

“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.
