Wake up early on July 26 to get the fun started with the 20th Annual Chip Miller Surf Fest. A morning of surfing brings supporters and participants together at the 7th Street Surfing Beach for the special event which is equal parts fun and charitable.
There are no losers at Surf Fest, just a bunch of winners…and wet participants. Best of all, there are dozens of categories and awards for kids, adults, families, novices, and experts, plus a nice mix of companies on-site offering merchandise, clothing, surf gear, and even some freebies for the crowd. Surf Fest also welcomes Heart of Surfing, a non-profit organization that offers free surfing and skateboarding lessons for families with autism or other developmental disabilities. In addition, the NJ Board Riders Association will help run and judge the competition.
For Surf Fest participants who are looking for more fun during the last weekend in July, spend the night and enjoy a special day of awareness on July 27 at the OC Waterpark for water park excitement, complete with food. From 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. participants can enjoy full water park access, followed by food samples from some of the area’s top establishments. These outlets include Bungalow Bowl, Mallon’s Sticky Buns, Sandwich Bar, Chickie’s & Pete’s, DiOrio’s Restaurant, Picinni’s Pizza, Uncle Bills Pancake House, Nauti Donuts, Randazzo’s Pizza, Hanks Sauce, Boyars, Outerbanks Boil Co., and Playa Bowls. Also, a professional chef from Redfish Catering will be on-site to help connect guests with a variety of tasty eats.
Pricing varies per event, with pre-registration savings options available. The waterpark and taste option is capped at 400, so early registration is encouraged. Surfing, waterpark fun, and a great buffet of food — all in one great weekend at the shore.
