Surf Movie Night - Big Wednesday

Surf Movie Night - Big Wednesday

Moment is honored to partner with South Tillamook Country Library to present the 1978 iconic surf movie, Big Wednesday. "Big Wednesday is a classic coming of age film set in the 60-70s California surf culture," explains Sally Moon, local surfer and the Tillamook County Library Assistant who is trying to make surf movie night a regular occurrence at the library.

Along with the movie, raffle tickets will be sold to benefit local waterman Gary Gregg. Gary is battling a rare form of brain cancer and therefore is unable to work his normal job as a surf instructor at Moment. Gary has not only been a prominent fixture in the Pacific City surfing community, but is a well-known and respected surfer throughout the Pacific Northwest. Teaching surfing and passing on the stoke, especially to kids, has brought Gary and the greater Pacific City community incredible value.

Raffle items include wetsuits from Quiksilver, Xcel, and O’Neill, Moment gear, Twist Wine Company, a treatment from local acupuncturist, Liz Vitale, and a gift certificate from Silas Wines.

The event will be held 7/23/19 at 6pm at the South Tillamook County Library in Pacific City.

“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.
