Tri Bay Sports Blog

Maybe it’s because it’s the biggest, baddest, best surf contest near the headquarters of Tri Bay Sports. Maybe it’s because it showcases one of our best local breaks. Maybe it’s because it shows the rest of the world that you have to be bad ass to surf the cold waters of Nor Cal. Whatever the reason, we here at Tri Bay Sports LOVE the O’Neill Cold Water Classic.

The competition started today and has been everything that we hoped for. The top seeds took to the water in clean four-foot conditions at Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz today and the premier surfers crushed the event’s highest scores while the local favorites fell early.

If you want to see some of the best surfers in the world at their competitive best, head on out to the Lane. The weather conditions are supposed to be good and the swell forecast for Saturday and Sunday is “HUGE”. Check it out.
