As the Summer continues to flow, many athletes in Southern California are seeing the light at the end of the summer competition tunnel. Hampered by injuries, but buoyed by an amazing work opportunity, I have missed most of this year's competition. However, there are certain events that could never be missed without being confined by hospitals or handcuffs.
Next week marks another year in the continuing saga of the International Surf Festival, held throughout the South Bay, Friday July 31st through Sunday August 2nd. While there are numerous events that are held during the festival, Three stand out for me: the Bud Stevenson Lifeguard Intercrew Medley Relay, The Judge Irving Taplin Lifeguard Championship Relay, and the Dwight Crum Pier-to-Pier Swim.
Each of these events carries its own storied history and tradition, and each its own mark of pride for its Champions.
Leading up to the start of the "Weekend of Champions", previews of each of these three events will be posted.

You left out the very prestigious “6 MAN Volleyball Tournament” in Manhattan Beach Aug. 1st. Although I will be attending as a spectator the lure of alcohol and HOT chicks drives my competitive nature.
Thanks in advance to all the lifeguards who will help pull my lifeless body from the surf after consuming countless beers.
