Tomorrow (Tuesday) from 6:30AM to 8:30AM, a few people from UCLA are continuing to conduct a study on surfers health and bacteria that they are exposed to while surfing. They are looking for volunteers who regularly get in the ocean. If you’re heading to the Venice Breakwater for a surf, stop by the big blue UCLA table and sign up to participate. It will take 10 minutes, please come BEFORE surfing! Tell your friends! . . .

You can expect:
1) Enrollment questionnaire: this has a brief demographic section, section on surfing locations and frequency, section on recent antibiotic usage etc...
2) 2 nasal swabs: instructions will be given on how to swab your own nose, one swab per nostril.

This will likely take less than ten minutes to answer the survey questions and take the nasal swabs.

Mark your calendars, mateys. ZJ Boarding House announced the date for this year's Haunted Heats Surf Contest. It's happening on Oct 27th, with registration opening on Oct. 3rd, this coming Wednesday 💀 Can’t wait to see what kind of costumes and fake blood they will conjure up.

Check out what went down last year: 2017 Haunted Heats Surf Contest.

On Saturday Boarding 4 Breast Cancer held their annual Skate The Coast event. A fundraising skate event where the participants skate, or bike, from the Santa Monica Pier down the coast to Redondo beach. This year, they raise $48,550!! That will go towards B4BC’s education and prevention programs and their young Survivor Mountain/ Ocean wellness retreats. Check out some photos from the Santa Monica and Venice portion of the skate journey.










There's a lot more photos from the entire event on the Boarding 4 Breast Cancer Facebook Page

Modest surf for the month of September, we were hoping to end the month with a bang, but all the forecast saying Hurricane Rosa was going to bring us big waves were wrong ( big surprise). Anyhow, here's a recap and links to all the Surf Spot Photo Galleries and Videos we have for the entire month of September. From Malibu down to the Venice Pier. Malibu
