This weekend, local surfers will hit the waves old-school style. Old Mission Beach Athletic Club (OMBAC) will host its 17th annual Classic Longboard Surfing Contest on Saturday, Sept. 18 on the north side of Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach. While all ages are invited to compete, their boards must be from 1969 or earlier, at least 9 feet long and without leashes. Check-in for the contest is at 7:30 a.m., with the competition set to begin at 8:30 a.m. The contest has divisions for men, women and for children 16 and under, with trophies and prizes for the winners. The entry fee is $25 before the event and $35 on the day of the competition. Surfers without an old board can borrow one from Southcoast/Windansea Surf Shop on the day of the event. Proceeds from the contest will go toward building beach wheelchairs. For more information, call Phil at (619) 913-1663.
