Surfs up!
For the U.S. Open of Sufing, that is.
And, it has splashed forward in Southern California in a big way.
Thousands of surf aficiandos will be flocking to the seaside town of Huntington Beach (California) over the next few days to catch a wave, party-hearty into the wee hours of dawn, and celebrate the good life, dudes!
And, three major sponsors will be stoking the fires - Nike, Hurley, and Converse - to ensure that the Surf Soiree for August 2011 is a memorable one.
For starters, because of their bold-faced efforts, the spectacular event (free to the public) has evolved into the world’s largest youth culture and action sport festival of the season.
With more than 500,000 people expected to be in attendance along a 14-acre stretch of sand on the south side of the Beach Pier, the Nike US Open of Surfing is sure to be the best in surf, skate, BMX, music, fashion and art.
"It's hard to match the experience of the world's best in sports, music and art coming together on the beach in one of action sports' most iconic locations," said Sandy Bodecker, VP Nike Action Sports..
The premiere Surfing extravaganza runs from July 30 to August 7 and be viewed on the web by "surfing" to:

The event is produced by IMG - a high-profle professional outfit that is considered to be the global leader in sports and entertainment - without doubt.
The Men’s competition features a North America ASP Prime event.
In addition, a woman will be crowned World Champion in Surf City this summer.
“I’m really excited to be returning to Huntington Beach to try to defend my US Open title,” says Hawaii’s Carissa Moore.
“It’s so fun to be competing in front of so many people!”
The US Open will also feature a grade four men’s and women’s Pro Junior as well as the always-popular Pacifico Nose Riding Invitational.
On the beach, there will be eye-opening tricks from the most talented and diverse crew of riders from across the globe as they participate in a state-of-the-art skate bowl at Converse Coastal Carnage.
Also, a stellar crew of BMX riders, will push all possibilities at the Nike 6.0 HB BMX Pro.
On Thursday (August 4th) five of the nation’s top high schools will compete for $25,000 in the Hurley Walk the Walk National Championship which is considered to be the ultimate youth competition.
The US Open Music Stage will also host a lineup of bands sure to beat last year's over-the-top performances which were well-received by the crowds of ecstatic fans.
For collectors, there will be 100 interactive exhibits, autograph signings, DJ appearances, and free give-a-ways.
This year the Nike US Open of Surfing is sponsored by G-Shock, Skullcandy, Red Bull, Pacifico, Paul Mitchell Salon Haircare, Invisalign Teen and Transworld Media.
