Saturday and Sunday July 25th & 26th will be the 10th Annual Buddy Peletier Memorial Longboard Classic. This surfing event and competition will be held in Atlantic Beach at the Oceanana Resort. The surfing competition was started 10 years ago by the Buddy Peletier Surfing Foundation.
The event helps raise money for the Buddy Peletier Surf Foundation. The foundation was started after world champion surfer Buddy Peletier passed away from cancer in 1995. The event has grown into one of the most popular and fun filled surfing events in the country.
The competition is limited to 24 surfers per division. If you need more information about the competition please contact the event director, Mike Holleman at 252-726-2314.
Come out to the Oceanana in Atlantic Beach and watch one of the best surf competitions around. I’ll try and get out there for some photos and a report as to how the event unfolds. There is no cost for spectators to sit on the beach and watch the action.
Champion surfers from all around the globe will be in attendance for the 10th anniversary. Be sure to arrive early, the competition will start at 7am on Saturday. So come out cheer the competitors on, learn about the Buddy Peletier Surf Foundation and their mission. Most of all just have a good time.
