33rd Annual Santa Cruz Paddlefest – Surfing Results!
The 33rd Annual Santa Cruz Paddlefest did not disappoint! We had plenty of swell for a truly contestable competition in fantastic sunny conditions. This year the paddle surfing community was out in force cheering each other on and overall just having a good time. We all created a loving community atmosphere at this event and the amount of smiles throughout the weekend are a testament to that.
The level of surfing that we saw this year was off the charts! Well, just about at the top of the charts with some incredibly high scores being throw down by the athletes. Every year the level of surfing gets better and better and it is an absolute pleasure to watch. Who knows what next years competition’s surfing will look like and we are looking forward to see every one of you next year!

Saturday Surf Results
I don’t know how we do it, but every year at the Santa Cruz Paddlefest we always score some waves. Today was busy with the race, the Cowells Classic starting up, and of course surfing at Steamer Lane. Check out today’s results here.
You’ll also find tomorrows schedule heats at that link. We are hoping to stick to the schedule and we have a lot of heats to make it through.
Event PSA’s.
If you are surfing at the Steamer Lane site, do not surf past the judges stand and into the Cowells Classic site.
If you are paddling out to your next heat, make sure to gather together outside of the break. Once the horns ring then you are allowed to move into the surfing zone.
There is no launching allowed from the beach around the corner past the lighthouse.

We just wrapped up the 32nd annual Santa Cruz Paddlefest. The scores are settled and everyone is absolutely stoked. We had sun, wind, waves, rain, smiles, more waves, and an amazing roster of athletes participating over the weekend. It truly feels like we put on an event that Dennis would have been proud of. That’ll mark a success in our books and we hope to see you all next year!
