Surfing and Music Festival returns to Jupiter Beach



The longest running and most successful surfing event in Palm Beach County history, The 9th Annual Jupiter Fall Classic Surf Festival is set for November 20-22 at Carlin Park in Jupiter Florida.
The Jupiter Fall Classic was conceived in 2001 by local South Florida surfers Jim McDow, James Helm, and Mike Bloom. They all felt the need to give surfers, both locally and across the East Coast, a venue to showcase their talent and to give back to the sport they love. Since its conception the Jupiter Fall Classic has become a favorite stop for top East Coast competitors and Pros from all over the Carribean. Event organizers contribute their success to the ongoing support of local businesses and sponsorship.
The 2009 Jupiter Fall Classic is the final event of a Surfing Contest Tour called the Western Atlantic Pro Surf Series. The contest series, sponsored by Guanabanas Waterfront Island Restaurant, kicked off its East Coast Tour with contests in Virginia Beach and Belmar New Jersey.
