Episode Details

The Lexus US Open of Surfing hits Huntington Beach this Saturday, July 25th, turning Surf City into a nine-day surf-and-festival frenzy with 500,000 expected fans. Big waves are on the way thanks to tropical storms, a welcome shift from last year’s tiny swells. Celebrating 50 years since the first pro surfing world champion, the event honors surfing’s pioneer with a special award. Defending champ Levi Slawson and local favorite Kanoa Igarashi are among the men’s contenders, while women’s and longboard divisions buzz with rising stars. Beyond the waves, the festival delivers concerts by Real Estate and Local Natives, a film screening by Matt Costa, and beachside vibes that make this more than a competition—it’s a full-blown surf culture homecoming with crowd energy that surges even from the water.
