Oakley Surf Shop Challenge

Oakley Surf Shop Challenge announces 2013 schedule

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 7 March, 2013 : - - Surfer Magazine announces the 2013 Oakley Surf Shop Challenge schedule. The seven-event regional qualifying series will kick off on April 5th at Seaside Reef in Cardiff, Calif. and conclude on June 1 at 54th/56th Street in Newport Beach, Calif., with stops in Florida, North Carolina, New Jersey, Northern California and Hawaii in between.

Surf shops from around the United States will compete for an all-expense paid trip-of-a-lifetime to the National Championship in Bali, Indonesia, in conjunction with the inaugural Oakley Pro Bali, June 17-20.

The storied and unique event series pits four-man teams (two surf shop pros and two shop employees) against each other for a chance to win $10,000, an advertising spread in SURFER Magazine, and the title of best surf shop in the country. This year marks the second consecutive year for each regional qualifying team to earn an enviable trip to Bali, Indonesia, a major coup in itself, despite the National Championship outcome.

Also returning in 2013, the High School division in the Southwest and West regions, which debuted in 2012, allows the top 10 high school teams from each of the two regions to compete for the honor of regional champion.
