Surf Central, Quicksilver, Roxy and
the Surfrider Foundation bring Professional Surfing
back to Martin County

The Treasure Chest Pro-Am Surfing Contest will be the first major professional surfing event held in
Martin County in over 20 years

Professional Surfing comes to Stuart Public Beach on April 8 th and 9 th with the Treasure Chest Pro-Am presented by Surf Central Surf Shop, Quicksilver, Roxy and the Treasure Coast Surfrider Foundation.

The first Pro-Am surfing contest held in Martin County since the 1980's, this event will host an incredible array of professional and amateur surfers in eight divisions. In the professional division, top pros and local bros will slash it out "skins" style in four man heats for a piece of the $4,000 purse. There will also be an exciting "air show", where young aquanaut's compete to see who can boost the biggest and best aerial maneuvers for a $500 prize. The Treasure Coast Surfrider Foundation will host a unique "Retro" division, promising a dazzling display of finesse and plenty of laughs, as contestants battle it out on classic big wave surfboards from the 1970's.

An awards ceremony for the pro event will be held at Stuart Grill and Ale on Saturday night, where Surf Central will debut the brand new surf movie "Letting Go," starring Florida's own seven-time world champion Kelly Slater.

The competition resumes bright and early Sunday morning with the semi-final and final round amateur heats hitting the water. The amateur awards ceremony will be held that afternoon at Stuart Public Beach.

All entry forms must be received at Surf Central no later Friday, April 7. Beach entries will not be taken (except for the Surfrider Retro division).
