Southern California Japanese Surfing Contest 2025.
The Southern California Japanese Surfing Contest returns on October 12, 2025, bringing together surfers of all ages-from kids to seniors, from California to Japan-for a celebration of waves, culture, and community. One of the few events officially permitted at Trestles Beach, this contest is a cherished tradition held at Church Point, a premier surf break known for its world-class waves.

With a laid-back, welcoming vibe, this annual event encourages participation from beginners, kids, and women surfers alike. Whether you're riding your first wave or returning as a seasoned competitor, it's a day of surf, friendship, and Japanese-American spirit.

Founded in 1988, the contest has welcomed over 3,000 surfers and continues to grow-fueled by the support of sponsors, volunteers, and passionate athletes.
