O'Neill Coldwater Classic Santa Cruz
The O’Neill Coldwater Classic has a long-standing history of competition, previously as an ASP World Title event (before the two-tier system) and then as an ASP Star and ASP Prime event. This year’s status as an elite ASP World Title event coincides with the 60th anniversary of the O’Neill family’s contribution to surfing. An ASP event for over three decades now, the O’Neill Coldwater Classic has been championed by California standouts such as Tom Curren, Bobby Martinez and Chris Brown from Santa Barbara, Peter Mel, Kieran Horn, Adam Replogle and Nat Young from Santa Cruz, Richie Collins and Todd Miller from Newport Beach, San Clemente’s Nathan Yeomans and Carlsbad’s Taylor Knox.
