Ventura County, Calif, May 21, 2010 - Registration opens May 24 for the 2010 NBVC Point Mugu Surf Contest Presented by Quiksilver at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC), Point Mugu. The third annual contest is Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 21-22. The event is open to the public with free admission and parking.

Open registration is on www.active.com. There are five divisions: Active Duty Military Men, Open Women/Military Women, Young Guns (17 and under), Bodyboard, and Open Men. Entry fees are $20 for active duty military and $100 for civilians. Entries will be accepted in the order received on a space available basis. No early entries will be accepted. Advanced registration is required; there will be no day of contest entries accepted.

The two day contest features vendor and food booths and live music. Quiksilver professionals will perform an Expression Session prior to the Sunday Finals.

This is an opportunity to access 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.
