About the Contest

The Otter Rock n Roll was started 5 years ago in celebration of International Surfing Day, which falls on June 20th. Founded seven years ago by the Surfrider Foundation and Surfing Magazine, International Surfing Day unites surfers from around the world in celebration of the sport of surfing. As is tradition with the annual holiday, surfers do their part to give back to our oceans, waves and beaches through various organized events such as clean-ups and restoration projects hosted by the Surfrider Foundation. The Newport Chapter of Surfrider Foundation, in partnership with the Portland and Siuslaw Chapters and local sponsors, give back to the youth through this fun and engaging event, the Otter Rock n Roll which generally falls the weekend prior to International Surfing Day in order to help engage more people in their event.
