Weekend Spotlight

San Clemente to Host West Coast Board Riders Season-Opener

Saturday, Nov. 5

The 2022 West Coast Board Riders’ season kicks off this Saturday, Nov. 5, at Church at San Onofre, where the San Clemente Board Riders will host the event and start their national title defense after winning the U.S. Board Riders National Championship last season.

The event, which will have the reigning champs facing rival clubs from Dana Point, Laguna Beach and Newport Beach, will feature generations of local icons who will be battling it out for points and plenty of bragging rights.

Board Riders events are built around a team format, with everyone from the groms to the old salts contributing to the cause. In the case of San Clemente, several of their top surfers will be out of town at a World Surf League contest in Brazil, but that doesn’t mean the squad is lacking in talent.

For more info on the event and the rosters competing, check out our story from surf columnist Jake Howard below:
