Miscellaneous


The guys sat down for a few interviews at Surf Cup and Mike Connerley, Mr. Surf Cup, happened to be attending the field that day and a possible interview came up, so the guys jumped at the opportunity. The guys were stoked to have Mr. Surf Cup sitting in front of them, so much so Matt jumped right into the interview without a proper intro. Mike sat down with the guys to chat about the beginnings of Surf Cup, turning his vision into reality, how the tournament became known as "The Best of The Best", and what that $12 parking fee is all about. He emphasized the importance of providing a first class experience and creating a long lasting image. Surf Cup is in its 37th year, with over 900 teams competing and over 500+ college coaches in attendance.
