The 6th Annual Surfing for Life Kahuna Kupuna Classic (KKC), scheduled for Saturday, July 30, 2005 at Linda Mar Beach in Pacifica is still accepting entries. Entry forms are available at many area surf shops or by contacting Roy Earnest at 650-438-6378 or email: agewaver @ earthlink.net.

The Kahuna Kupuna Classic is the only amateur surf contest in the world specifically designed for older longboard and shortboard surfers. The minimum age is 40 for male contestants and 30 for female contestants. Unlike other surf contests, contestants only compete against others who are close to their own age in 5-year age divisions. Among other special awards planned for this year, special recognition will be given to the oldest and youngest contestants in the contest.

This entirely volunteer run and coordinated event is a fundraiser for the non-profit Pacifica Beach Coalition's summertime beach clean up program and other local non-profit groups. This is a very relaxed and family oriented event that brings people back year after year. The entry fee is $70 which includes the contest and, beginning at about 5:30 pm at the Pedro Point Firehouse, the post contest reception, dinner and, of course, the awards ceremony. Admission for the post-contest festivities for non-contestants is $15. For more information, please contact Roy.
