ZJ Boarding House held their 10th Annual Haunted Heats Surf Contest this past weekend right down the street from their location in Ocean Park.

Surfers in Haunted Heats are judged on their costume, with the costume performance portion on the beach and then on how they surf as the character they are dressed up as. Many surfers enter as a group with choreographed dance numbers and battle scenes. Some bride the judges with candy or string cheese.
