Press releases are posted on Independent.com as a free community service.
The Channel Islands Surfboards Rincon Classic presented by Merrick Lager is the most anticipated event of each winter for the 805 and more specifically for Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties. The 2025 event, the 43rd annual, and the 25th year produced by Surf Happens, has been called on for the weekend of February 15 and 16 at the Queen of the coast.
After a stellar December the ocean and conditions went dormant for six weeks, but a series of storms are projected to send solid swell and good conditions for the last weekend in the regular 6 week waiting period. Contest organizers have been waiting in earnest for a weekend to line up with swell and weather to offer truly Classic conditions and it looks like the Queen will be sharing the love with the local community this Valentines / Presidents day weekend.
