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!

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.

Fights, cameras, action! Rounding out a week of power fueled contests, parties and premieres, this weekend sees the big finale of New York Surf Week. And having taken center stage throughout the entire event were our good friends at Unsound Surf Shop. On Saturday we’ll see the men’s and juniors’ pro and round 1 of the women’s pro, along with DJ Vynl Ritchie spinning from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., autograph signings with the Unsound team, big product giveaways, and the continuation of the New York Surf Film Festival at Tribeca Cinemas. Sunday brings even bigger action with the semi and final rounds, as well as a massive awards party at the Red Bull Space located at 40 Thompson.

The 13th Annual Surf for the Sea contest was held at the Oceanside Pier this past weekend, in loving memory of the late Harry Bennett, Steve Leighton, Tore Bonura, Chuck “Clubber” Hundley, Banning Capps, Court Overin, John Craven, Midget Smith and most recently Casey Williams. As a memorial event benefiting San Diego chapters of the Surfrider Foundation, over 180 competitors came out and gave it their all for the worthy cause. Big standouts were Chemistry Surf Shopboys Chris Abad who won the event, and shaper Jason Bennett who placed second.
