Ventura County, CA - The public is invited to attend the 4th annual NBVC Point Mugu Surf Contest Presented by Quiksilver at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC), Point Mugu. The contest, held Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 20-21, is an exciting opportunity for the surfing community access of the best waves Southern California has to offer, and for NBVC to showcase our award-winning environmental stewardship of our sensitive beach, wetlands and endangered species.

The event itself is free to attend and open to the public starting at 6 a.m. Opening ceremonies on Saturday begin at 7 a.m. There will be live music throughout the day. A variety of vendor booths will be open during the event and food will be on sale.

There are five different divisions: Men’s Open, Young Guns, body board, Women’s and Active Duty Military Men’s.
The public is to enter the Las Posas road gate at NBVC Point Mugu, both Saturday and Sunday. All guests are directed to a parking lot and then shuttled to and from the event. The public is allowed to bring cameras, however the maximum focal length is not to exceed 100 mm.

150 surfing contestants are expected to compete along with a Quiksilver Expression Session featuring pro surfers, at one of Southern California’s best surfing locations. This particular surfing area off the coast of Point Mugu faces in a south direction which gives it a unique wave. The South swell, submarine canyon, and sandbars cause waves to break differently and bigger than at other beaches.
