Event Description

Steel Pier Classic & Surf Art Expo has grown to become one of the premier surfing events on the East Coast. The competition, which will bring more than 400 amateur and professional surfers to Virginia Beach this weekend, now

includes a shortboard category along with divisions for tandem surfing, nose riding and paddle boarding. Surfers will compete for a total purse of more than $13,000.

More than just a sporting event, the Steel Pier Classic also focuses on the art of surfing and the culture around it. Professional artists will display their surf-related paintings, jewelry and crafts on the Boardwalk, and local students will hold their own show on the beach. There will be autograph sessions with songwriter/surfer Donavon Frankenreiter and champion surfers Shane Dorian, Greg Long and Keala Kennelly, as well as surf art designer Andy Davis.
