7th Annual Point Michaud Surf Classic

It’s that time of year again for the Point Michaud Surf Classic. The event is scheduled for Saturday, August 28 and Sunday, August 29.
This is a fun surf contest, free for any surf student of the summer surf program at Point Michaud Beach. Registration is also open to non-students for a fee of $10. This includes entry into all divisions and activities.

All events will run on Saturday and include divisions in Surf Open: Women’s, Men’s, Junior Girls, Junior Boys, Kids and Masters.

Other divisions will include kayak surf, skim board, body surf expression session (team), body board, stand-up paddle, open longboard, open shortboard and surfboard team relay.

Saturday’s Schedule:

• 9 a.m. – Set up
• 10 a.m. – Registration
• 10:30 a.m. – Group Photo
• 11 a.m. – Start of divisions. Order will depend on which divisions are ready to go at that time. We are flexible so if you have to leave early we will get your divisions under way first). Each division is completed after the 20-minute heat. It is also the final so every one will enter the water at the same time in that particular division. Other ongoing activities include beach volleyball, BBQ and lifeguard demonstrations.
• Around 4 or 5 p.m. – Awards Ceremony
• Evening – Surf party at 391 Shore Road, Lower L’ardoise. Camp-out or stay in the 130-year old surf house. BBQ will be available, so pick up your food and beverages at the L’ardoise General and Liquor Store one-minute away. Musical guests to be announced.

Sunday’s Schedule:

This is a flexible day. We will either run some of the divisions again just for fun or have a fun beach day to enjoy the surf. Surf tent, volleyball nets and BBQ will be available to use.

The forecast is calling for bigger waves this day so if Chapel Cove in L’ardoise is breaking, we may have an expression session there.
