Watch Over 100 Surfers Take On The Waves At Venice Beach Saturday

VENICE, CA — Over 100 surfers are set to conquer the waves at the Venice Surfing Association's Breakwater Open Saturday morning.

The first heat will enter the water at 8 a.m. at the Venice Pier. The event is the latest in the VSA's contest series, which began in February with Grom Day and was followed by the Southside Classic, the Summer Showdown and the Northside Pier Fest.

"Every contest is a manifestation of our dream, weaving community spirit, talent, and local enterprise,” said Alix Gucovsky, co-founder of VSA.

This year's t-shirt is designed by tattoo artist Steve Laylani and the trophies are made from reclaimed wood by local craftsmen Brock Mayeux and Norman Antonio.
