The Vans Pier Classic presented by Jacks, now in it's 5th year, to be held between March 24th thru 28th on the south side of Huntington Beach Pier is a mainstay on the North American competitive surf calender. Featuring a WQS 2 star as well as a grade 2 Pro Jr, the Pier Classic features some of the brightest up-and-coming stars in surfing as well as offering a platform for top regional talent. The Huntington Pier always seems to have waves, in the previous contest we've had better than average surf for most of the contest period, the weather can be a mixed bag but like the waves most years have had a mix of more good than bad. Competition begins on the 24th of March, if you can't attend please tune into the live webcast.
