November 18th, 2009 by admin in the Events, Promotions category
Ocean Beach Surf & Skate would like to give thanks to all their loyal fans this Thanksgiving with a gut-buster of an event. Gobble up great savings and grub at the OBSS Turkey Bowl and Parking Lot Sale on Sunday, November 29, 2009 from 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. This surf and skate expo will feature exclusive sale booths from various Ocean Beach Surf & Skate vendors, as well as great grub grilled to perfection by OB locals. Festival goers will also groove to great tunes from San Diego artists such as the incredibly talented and young, Blonde Bros, the surf reggae band, FieldTrip, and many more! But that’s not all: OBSS will also have a full ramp set-up and open skate sessions through out the day. Black Friday doesn’t have anything on this blow-out parking lot sale!

Island Water Sports Evokes The Evil Midnight Madness
October 8th, 2009 by admin in the Events category
You can run, but you can’t hide. All of Florida is preparing for the fight of their lives as the biggest, hairiest, most audacious event is preparing to touch down Friday, October 23. Of course we’re talking about none other than Island Water Sport’s colossal Midnight Madness super sale. For the past 20 years, IWS has been hosting this raucous block party and festival, complete with bands, ramps, pros (hopefully some hoes), food fights, fist fights, and mass amounts of debauchery. (Okay, so we’re just wishfully thinking about the loose ladies and violence, but you know, it could happen.) We should also stress that a major portion of the sale’s proceeds will be generously donated to IWS’ new community outreach program that seeks to provide food and shelter to under developed African nations. So come early and stay late, but just remember: if you’re not wasted, the day is.

As part of their popular Surf On The Silver Screen Series, Ocean Beach Surf & Skatewill be premiering the epic ”One California Day” this evening at the Pearl Hotel, located at 1400 Rosecrans Street in Point Loma. A massive raffle, fine burgers and tasty brew will also be on hand, making for a killer date night or a perfect way to blow off steam after a craptastic day at the office. The Silver Screen Series will continue during the last Tuesday of every month until they run out of films or people stop showing up—neither of which appear to be happening anytime soon. For more information, log on to OBS&S website.

Pick a winner! Rusty board Challange Set For Oct. 17
September 1st, 2009 by admin in the Events category
Rusty Boardhouse and Surfboards in La Jolla will be hosting the first Rusty Surfboard challenge at La Jolla Shores on Oct. 17th. But unlike any other contest, instead of riding your own board they’ll pick your stick for you. No one knows what they’ll be riding until the heat starts. Will you get a quad, a fish or a tri? No one knows for sure. Think you have what it takes to dominate on any ride in uncertain conditions? Bring $25 and your entry form to 2170 Avenida De La Playa, La Jolla, CA to find out. The 1st place prize will include a new Rusty Surfboard.
