The Oldest Surf Contest Still Running
The
Brooks St. Surfing Classic was started in 1955 in Laguna Beach, Ca. It is the
oldest continuing surf contest in the world. Last year in 2012they celebrated the 50th running of
the contest. This is a heat sheet from the very first contest, with quite a few recognizable names posted (our own Dick Metz being among them). This came to us by way of Donnie Crevier (Crevier Classic Cars). There's a Facebook page that's been created for this annual event. https://www.facebook.com/brooksstreetclassic
