US Open of Surfing

The U.S. Open of Surfing is a week‑long contest staged each summer on the south side of the Huntington Beach Pier in California. It serves as a qualification stop on the World Surf League pathway—classified as a QS 10,000 (now Challenger‑Series) event—where competitors collect points toward the Championship Tour. Although IMG has produced the meet since 2000, its roots reach back to 1959, when it debuted as the West Coast Surfing Championship before adopting the U.S. Open name in 1994.

The event footprint extends well beyond the surf zone: vert‑ramp skate and BMX exhibitions, a sponsor and vendor village, athlete signings, yoga sessions, and occasional ticketed evening concerts run alongside the daytime heats, which remain free to attend. Shade is scarce and parking around the pier fills quickly, so its a good idea to arrive early, pack sun protection, and consider bikes or rideshare.

Across nine days the event typically draws crowds approaching half a million and, according to local estimates, generates more than $21 million in direct spending for Orange County. After more than six decades it has become a fixture on Huntington Beach’s calendar—part proving ground for emerging professional surfers, part midsummer gathering for the broader action‑sports community.
