The U.S. Open of Surfing is a week-long surfing competition held annually during the summer in Huntington Beach, California. Generally held on the south side of the Huntington Beach Pier, the U.S. Open is part of the qualification process for the World Surf League and is a WSL QS 10,000 event.{{cite web|title=Men's Vans US Open of Surfing|url=http://www.worldsurfleague.com/events/2015/mqs/1256/mens-vans-us-open-of-surfing|publisher=World Surf League|access-date=31 August 2015}}{{cite news|last=Connelly|first=Laylan|title=Biggest show on surf|newspaper=Orange County Register|date=July 28, 2011}} It is the largest surfing competition in the world.{{cite news | first = Mike | last = Sciacca | title = Simpson wins his heats | date = August 2, 2012 | url = http://www.hbindependent.com/sports/tn-hbi-0802-usopen-20120801,0,6002797.story | newspaper = Huntington Beach Independent | page = A1 | access-date = August 2, 2012}} It has been owned by IMG since 2000.{{cite web|url=http://surf.transworld.net/1000004016/features/img-buys-us-open-of-surfing-from-bluetorch/|title=IMG Buys U.S. Open Of Surfing From Bluetorch|access-date=November 4, 2014}}{{Cite web|url = http://www.shop-eat-surf.com/2015/04/vans-us-open-of-surfing-confirmed-on-wsl-schedule|title = Vans US Open of Surfing confirmed on WSL schedule|access-date = 30 August 2015|website = shop-eat-surf.com|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150924101456/http://www.shop-eat-surf.com/2015/04/vans-us-open-of-surfing-confirmed-on-wsl-schedule|archive-date = September 24, 2015|url-status = dead|df = mdy-all}}

As part of the event, notable people in the world of surfing are added to the Surfing Walk of Fame and to the Surfers' Hall of Fame, both directly across from the pier.

History

The U.S. Open, then called the West Coast Surfing Championship, was first held in 1959. In 1964 it became known as the United States Surfing Championships. In 1982 it became known as the OP Pro for its sponsor, Ocean Pacific. The event was renamed the U.S. Open of Surfing in 1994.{{cite web |url=http://surfingnewsdaily.com/3340/history-of-the-us-open-of-surfing/ |title=History Of The Us Open Of Surfing |publisher=Surfing News Daily |access-date=July 18, 2014 |work=City of Huntington Beach web site |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140729022224/http://surfingnewsdaily.com/3340/history-of-the-us-open-of-surfing/ |archive-date=July 29, 2014 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}

The contest was traditionally held during Labor Day weekend. The event was changed to an earlier date following the 1986 event when riots occurred at the OP Pro.{{cite news|title=25 years later, lessons from surf riot still apply|newspaper=Huntington Beach Wave|date=September 8, 2011|author=Fletcher, Jaimee Lynn|author2=Connelly, Laylan|page=3|url=http://www.ocregister.com/news/crowd-314790-beach-karl.html}}

Rioting again marred the 2013 U.S. Open. On the final day of the event, as the crowds left the contest area and filled Main Street, a civil disturbance erupted, resulting in property damage and several arrests and some injuries.{{cite news|last=Serna|first=Joseph|title=Dramatic photos, videos of Huntington Beach rioting|url=http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-huntington-beach-riot-social-media-20130729,0,4602387.story|access-date=29 July 2013|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=29 July 2013|author2=Foxhall, Emily}} As a result, the event owner IMG stated that in 2014 it will discontinue events such as free concerts and focus more on the sport.{{cite news|last=Fletcher|first=Jaimee Lynn|author2=Connelly, Laylan|title=Activities to be cut back for U.S. Open|newspaper=Orange County Register|date=October 12, 2013|page=Local 4}}

Spending at the nine-day event adds $21.5 million to the Orange County economy and $16.4 million in Huntington Beach. It is attended by nearly 500,000 people.{{cite news|last=Connelly|first=Laylan|title=U.S. Open Rides In|newspaper=Orange County Register|date=July 31, 2011}}

Awards

Notable people are inducted into Surfing Walk of Fame and Surfers' Hall of Fame each year during the U.S. Open. The Walk of Fame has plaques imbedded in the sidewalk, while the Hall of Fame has handprints. Each are located across the street from one another and across Pacific Coast Highway from the Huntington Beach Pier.

=Surfing Walk of Fame=

Every year the Surfing Walk of Fame at Huntington Beach inducts members in the categories of surf pioneers, surfing champions, local heroes, surf culture, woman of the year, and honor roll. Eligibility for each award are as follows:

  • The surf champion must have held the world championship and/or world class event titles specific to the city of Huntington Beach.
  • Woman of the Year winners are chosen based on who garners the most collective votes from the surfing champions, surfing culture, surf pioneers, and local heroes categories.
  • Local Hero award winners have either resided in Huntington Beach for ten years or graduated from the Huntington Beach Union High School District and were finalists in the surfing champions category, contributed to Huntington Beach surfing culture, were surf pioneers in the city, or were champions of the annual Huntington Beach City Championships.
