There’s plenty to do at the U.S. Open of Surfing besides watching world class surfers in action. You can see some of the best skaters and BMX bikers compete at the Vans Pro Park. And if you’re not into sports, you can check out the games, the art, the boardwalk and the mechanical surfboard on the sand.
