HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. –
The 2007 Bank of the West Beach Games will take place at the
Huntington Beach Pier July 21 - 29, 2007. More than 500
world-class athletes representing a dozen countries will battle
over 10 days and across five divisions, all chasing a $185,000
prize purse. The giant Honda U.S. Open of Surfing, which anchors
the Bank of the West Beach Games, boasts North America’s only
six-star World Qualifying Series-rated men’s and women’s
competitions, longboarding and men’s and women’s junior
disciplines. The Honda Men’s U.S. Open showcases 240 competitors
and a $125,000 purse while the women’s division offers $30,000
in cash prizes to its field of 60 women.
Women’s Junior Pro and the Pro
Junior for men (field of 120) are each the largest event of
their kinds in the U.S. With many competitors doing double-duty
in the “open,” the junior divisions historically offer a glimpse
of surfing’s next generation of top pros, with a champions list
headlined by Kelly Slater, Rob Machado and Andy Irons. The
$10,000 O’Neill U.S. Open of Longboarding features soulful
maneuvers on nine-foot (minimum length) boards mixed with modern
aerials and awesome displays of power.
For many years the Honda U.S. Open of Surfing WQS format
featured a four-person (top two surfers advance) format from
start to finish and a priority system drastically different from
the elite World Championship Tour (WCT).
Skaters and bikers drop into the 13 foot deep kidney-shaped
“pool” and vie for $50,000 in prize money. Prior competitors
include Brian Patch, Tony Magnusson, Cara-Beth Burnside, Mat
“Condor” Hoffman and Kevin Robinson. The Bank of the West
Beach Games also hosts the Karch Kiraly Invitational, a
six-team, four-person beach volleyball competition, July
30-31. Top male and female beach volleyball players from
throughout California will be representing a designated city
beach location along the California coastline to benefit the
Keep California Beautiful organization.
Thousands of spectators will also enjoy the Bank of the West
Beach Games’ interactive festival featuring the TransWorld
Surf Village and Stage and Teen Vogue Fashion Live! More
than 80 exhibits, athlete autograph signings, dance
contests, DJs, guest emcees and prize giveaways are among
the myriad activities. Just north of the pier, the Bank of
the West Concert Stage creates a soundtrack for today’s
lifestyle sports, with national and regional acts performing
live during the final weekend.
Past bands include Hoobastank, Lit and Ozomatli. “IMG is
proud to welcome back Bank of the West as the title sponsor
of this year’s Beach Games,” said James Leitz, vice
president for IMG Action Sports. "Their ongoing support of
and commitment to the Southern California market underscores
the heritage and tradition of this great Surf City USA
event.”
