Some of the region’s most exciting competitors are eager to compete at the men and women’s Jack’s Surfboards Pro QS 1,000 beginning August 5 – 8. Huntington Beach, California’s, iconic pier will play backdrop for the long-awaited start to QS competition in the United States with the inclusion of a first-ever women’s event alongside the fourth men’s installment being broadcast live.

We covered the heck out of last week’s solid south swell, which turned out to be the biggest of the season thus far especially in Central America and Mexico where, unlike California, conditions were largely favorable. South-facing breaks in the Golden State saw no shortage of long period swell as it peaked on Saturday, but man, those winds…less-than-ideal in many spots, though places like the Wedge and Malibu which can both deal with some wind and act as catcher’s mitts to straight south swell managed to see some fine moments.
