Rip Curl Search

The next contest for the Rip Curl Search in 2011 is.........

Ocean Beach, San Francisco!

This is going to be sic because the conditions are hopefully going to be big and cold. This is definitely one of, if not the coldest places these surfers will compete in this year. I hope I can go and watch.
Surfline offers more details about the event but basically, it will be held in November and it seems to be very minimalistic."There will be no PWC assist. (At least as of right now, PWC will be on hand for rescue only.) No skatepark. No music festival. No local trials. No backup venues."

I guess they're predicting that it's going to be so cold, that no one is going to want to stick around any longer than they have too.
Anyways, it's nothing unusual but I like how the contest organizers are working with the local surf community in SF. I guess they're going to employ all of the locals' businesses to carry out the event (catering, security, etc.).
