The Vendor Display and Demo Area

The Vendor Display and Demo Area

We couldn't put on this event each year without the help and support from our many vendors of the surf shop! All of these guys have stepped up big time in donating the give-away items, award prizes, raffle gifts, auction items, and some have donated cash directly to the fundraising efforts of the skatepark! Several of these guys are even taking time on Saturday to come down to the event. They will be here to give away more free items to the spectators, offer demos to those that want to try out surfing and stand-up paddling, and to display their products. Here is a list of the guys that will be here. Make sure you stop by the vendor area, which will be in the Cape Kiwanda parking lot over looking the contest, and pick up some free stuff!

Volcom Clothing, Roxy, Spy Sunglasses, Creatures of Leisure, Nike, O'neill Wetsuits, Surftech Surf and SUP, Dakine, Nixon, Rainbow Sandals, and Rib Guard.

We are also going to have three special tents set up: Todd Fisher who did the art for our poster will be selling his work, Surfrider will be here to spread the word about the importance of saving our coastal environments, and Columbia Beverage will be selling bottled water, snacks, and working with our local groms selling our Pacific City Skatepark apparel! With all proceeds going directly to the park!

Come by, grab a snack, get some free stuff, buy a t-shirt to support the park, try out an SUP, all while watching the contest!

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.
Welcome to the team Justin Buford! Justin has been a part of the shop since we opened in 2010. He was a true local grom who would spend his days skateboarding in our parking lot and washing rental wetsuits when he wasn’t in school. His family lived just up the street and his step-dad is one of the best surfers in town. His brother-in-law comes from the legendary South County Surf family the Ledbetters. Surfing is who and what Justin is, it’s in his blood. 
It felt a lot like home, Ireland. I suppose in a bizarre way it is, as my ancestors planted their roots in county Sligo on the North West coast of the country in the early 1700's after immigrating from Scotland. Ireland has been at the top of my travel list since long before I found out there was surf there. I formed images in my head of what the landscape would look like from seeing pictures, videos and hearing stories of infamous rocky basalt point breaks and shallow heaving slabs. Every image I had crafted fell short in comparison to seeing it all in person for the first time.
