Coalition of Surfing Clubs

Dear Coalition of Surfing Clubs Family,
On behalf of the Oceanside Longboard Surfing Club, I'm pleased to invite you to our 41st Annual OLSC Contest and Beach Festival at the Oceanside Pier August 7th-9th.

Coalition Club surfing will officially begin on Saturday, August 8th. The King & Queen of the Pier Pro/Am Invitational is on Friday, August 7th, with finals only on Saturday.

Proceeds from the event help us continue to support The California Surf Museum, Scholastic Surf Series, and local surf teams, including Oceanside Middle School, Oceanside High School, El Camino High School, Valley Middle School, and Carlsbad High School.

We’ll be collecting non-perishable food donations all weekend for Got Your Back San Diego. "With more than 80,000 students in San Diego County schools identified as food-insecure, meaning, apart from the meals they receive at school during the week, they do not have a reliable food source" https://www.gotyourbacksandiego.org/

Registration is Open to Team Captains on Live Heats (same as VSC & SCLU's Awesome events!) OR surfers can register directly liveheats.com/events/502473/registration by selecting Your Club from the drop-down menu, and they'll be added to your team's roster automatically. Any technical assistance, you can email [email protected]

Please register as soon as possible 🙏, and that will allow me to add more heats if time is available. All entries will be confirmed and charged $135 on the July 17th deadline. Alternates may be added to open spots once heats are closed on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that refunds will not be given for no-shows.

Food and product vendors will be on-site all three days with live music in the bandshell for your enjoyment.

Friday night, we’re hosting a Private Showing at The California Surf Museum for competitors and family members at no charge.

Saturday night, we’re hosting a complimentary Luau dinner in the bandshell area for all competitors. Family members are invited to join us for an additional fee.

G-STRONG Paddle Race in honor of our Legendary Captain Gretchen Harris will consist of six competitors, including one junior and one female. We may add a Tandem heat for Fun and Free if there’s enough interest.

All divisions will be judged using Ride Quality Recorder (RQR) rules, with an emphasis on nose riding, rail surfing, speed, power, and flow. All heats, including finals, will consist of 6 competitors for 15 minutes, with the top 2 waves tabulated. All contestants must check in 15 minutes before their heat to sign a waiver.

If there's anyone who needs to be added or removed, please respond directly. We look forward to seeing you at the Pier! If you have any questions, please reach out to [email protected] or (858) 472-5035.

Sincerely,

Jeff Todd

Team Captain

S.C.L.U was the Chant at Steamer Lane for the 40th anniversary of the Santa Cruz Longboard Union Coalition of Surfing Clubs Families getting together for a non-profit Surfing 🏄‍♀️ Tournament for all ages of men and women and boys and girls.
