 City of Hermosa Beach --- 10-13-981998 United States Surfing Federation Surfing Contest
Recommendation The Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Commission and staff recommend that Council:
Background Staff has received an application from the United States Surfing Federation, Western Region (USSF), requesting to hold their third amateur surfing contest in Hermosa Beach on the north or south side of the Pier (depending on wave conditions) on Sunday, November 1, 1998. Their list of tour stops has included the cities of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach and Torrance.
The USSF is a non-profit corporation dedicated to promoting the sport of surfing for recreation and pleasure of its members and the general public. USSF organizes, produces, and sponsors surfing competitions, educational programs, and other activities related to the sport.
USSF is the only sanctioned representative of the United States Surfing Federation representing the West Coast. USSF surf contests provide competition by division in the shortboard, longboard, bodyboard, and kneeboard categories for youths of all ages, and amateur adults. They give surfers on the West Coast an opportunity to earn entry into the US Amateur Surfing Championships and the US Team trials.
Analysis Previous requests by USSF for event approval and fee waivers have been approved by City Council.
USSF has proven to be responsible in the conduct of their varied activities that include their 1998 USSF Surfing Championships at the International Surf Festival. Certainly, the City of Hermosa Beach will benefit from the series of surf events USSF has to offer and who will continue to provide these activities for the youth and recreational surfers in our community.
Fiscal Impact: None
