“By creating a bunch of unique surf contests and adding fun games such as the greased pig paddle race and the obstacle race, we’ve lightened the feeling of competition,” said John Drury, founder of Surf Rodeo. “We try and remind ourselves we are all out for the same thing, to just have fun! Let's laugh at ourselves a little and bring us together through music and surfing.”
Surf Rodeo loves its community and has worked for the last several years to help raise funds for the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Ventura County. This year, attendees will be able to help Surf Rodeo give back to the community by entering a raffle for a 1963 Ford Falcon. Surf Rodeo also supports other organizations including The Young and Brave Foundation, A Walk on Water, Ojai Valley Lions Club, Save the Mermaids and SPARC.
