2023 Oceanside Celebrates Surf

USA Surfing and Visit Oceanside, along with the Prevent Drowning Foundation of San Diego (PDFSD) and City of Oceanside joined forces to spotlight the largely unknown and underappreciated relationship between surfers and lifeguards, who together keep the ocean safe and fun.

The first recorded lifeguards in history were surfers, and surfers have pioneered significant advances in rescue techniques, tools, and training.

The “O’side Celebrates Surf” week started with USA Surfing’s elite Championship event June 13-17 at Oceanside Harbor, drawing the world’s best surfers from multiple disciplines.

Oceanside has a rich surf history, culture and community with some of the best board shapers, manufacturers, coaches and surfers in the world. World Surf League CT rookie and former ISA World Junior Championship Gold Medalist Caitlin Simmers, coach John Daniels and California Surf Museum President Jim Kempton share what they love about Oceanside and the city's role in shaping surfing's past, present and future.
