The Venice Surfing Association just announced The Breakwater Open, which we would assume is a surf contest, taking place on October 15th.

So that probably means that the previous announcement about thier first surf contest that was to take place in September has change to this. Or that one is still on, as a club members only contest, and the Open is one that is open to anyone.

No other details have been given about either one yet.
