Sebastian Inlet Regular Joe Surf Festival is an annual surf contest to benefit the Sebastian Inlet Chapter of Surfrider and Melbourne High Surf Team.
Sebastian Inlet Surf & Sport and the Sebastian Inlet chapter of Surfrider Foundation are proud to announce the 1st Annual Sebastian Inlet Regular Joe Surf Festival.
Taking place on a Friday and Saturday in Florida’s prime surf season, the Sebastian Inlet Regular Joe Surf Festival promises a unique opportunity for dedicated recreational surfers to enjoy all the trappings of a big time contest … without big time surfers!
Mix in a raging Surfer Stomp with live music, unique awards, a chance to put together your own heat and Florida’s most famous wave and you have all the ingredients of a great weekend, smack in the middle of hurricane season. Join us for a contest for the rest of us.
Background:
20 years ago, some regular surfers really, really wished they could surf Sebastian Inlet’s renowned First Peak, Florida’s most famous wave, without the hordes of superhot surfers who made it almost impossible for them to grab a wave for themselves.
The solution that ‘Regular Joe’ surfers Harry Greenfield, Jack Kirschenbaum and Don Stewart came up with was novel: they’d hold a contest and give recreational surfers (mainly themselves) a shot at the Inlet without the crowds. And so Doctors Lawyers Weekend Warriors was born.
