HB Surf Series set to return

The Hurley & Jack’s Pro/Am surf event is back up and running after

last month’s cancellation due to local water pollution.

The two-day competition will run both Saturday and Sunday at

Goldenwest St., and with a swell in the forecast, the waves should

provide another strong contest.

‘Everybody’s anxious to get back into the water,’ Huntington Beach

Pro/Am Surf Series’ Seth Matson said. ‘I’ve been out in the water these

past few days, and it’s a lot cleaner than it has been in quite a while.

In fact, I could see my feet at the bottom, which is a good sign.’

Last month’s cancellation was the first ever for he Huntington

Beach Pro/Am Surf Series, which is California’s only Pro/Am Series and

attracts the top professional and amateurs from around the world.

The top prize for this weekend’s event, the second to last of this

year’s series, is $1,000.

The final Huntington Beach Pro/Am Surf Series event will be held

Nov. 13-14 at the pier.
