Fierce northwest winds blew white caps the size of a VW bus this past Saturday at Pleasure Point in Santa Cruz. Even though it was the end of May, Spring-like conditions prevailed at the contest this year. There was a good south swell pumping and a huge kelp bed outside the line up that prevented the wind from overshadowing the surfing.
Surfing is an integral part of the Santa Cruz community and people turned out in numbers to support this grass-roots event. “It’s a fun contest that the whole community comes out to see- people make a day of it,” said Bubb Rader, Manager and co-founder of the Spring Fling. The Pro/Am Invitational had an all-star cast of surfers this year: Jason “Rat Boy” Collins, Shawn “Barney” Barron, Kalani Robb, Adam Virs, Mike Morrissey, Johnny Craft, Shawn Dollar, Randy Bonds, Josh Mulcoy, Tyler Fox, and Russel Smith- to name a few….
The Hurley Phantom Truck was on site at this year’s event showcasing all of the latest Phantom board shorts available. People were able to customize their own board shorts and also participate in Hurley’s “Phantom Fortune” for the chance to win loads of free product.
A big shout out to all of the sponsors that supported the 3rd Annual Spring Fling, and to the community of Santa Cruz for supporting us with another great event! We couldn’t do it without all of you.
