We just happened to be at Huntington Beach where the annual US Open Surfing event takes place. It is the largest surfing competition in the world with a men's purse of $300,000. It was great to be there. It was so lively and exciting with all the different venues of competitions, stores, and live music. It is a 9 day event. Aug 8, is the last day. We were there on the first day.
View from the pier. So many venues.
It was like a little city.
I got some good shots with my cheap travel camera.
Getting the skateboard venue ready.
Growing up in Southern California Huntington Beach was my favorite beach. It's where I swam and surfed. Jack's surfboard shop was a popular hangout, it used to be an old building with apartments above it. Main St. has all been redone.
