Southern California Japanese Surfing Contest 2016
Yesterday, the Japanese Surfing Contest was held at Church Point in San Clemente.
This is the 29th year of this historic surfing contest, which is held once a year.
Japanese surfers living in the US and those visiting from Japan on surf trips
It's a large-scale contest where their family and friends gather.
Working hard every day in a foreign land
Japanese surfers can interact
It's a fun surfing contest.
Love Surf is the title sponsor.
This event will be donated to State Park, which manages and operates Trestles Beach.
Professional judges will score the competition using a computer system.
There will be great prizes to be won by the sponsors.
During the heat, there were 4 to 6 people, and no matter how strong the wind, the waves were good and trestle-like.
If you're a surfer, you can ride a lot of waves.
It is also a tournament that provides great satisfaction to anyone who participates.
