Volcom’s Totally Crustaceous Tour Europe

Volcom’s Totally Crustaceous Tour Europe kicked off in June of 2009 with sick waves for the Mulletfish surf series in Hossegor and will conclude in May of 2010 with the biggest prize purse yet of $50,000 at the VQS World Champs in Newport Beach, Ca.

The VQS consists of separate qualifiers in regional areas from Spain, France, Canary Islands, Portugal, Norway, Reunion Island and England but also in 4 other continents.

Each event has four separate divisions: Groms (14 & Under), Juniors (15-17), Girls (25 & Under) and the Pro-Am (18 and over). All contests are totally free to enter and have tons of prizes and giveaways from Volcom and other supporting companies including surfboards, snowboards, skateboards, bicycles, motorcycles, video games and a prize pack for the best move of the day offered by Electric.

Finalists of every category of each event will then be invited to compete in Volcom’s Totally Crustaceous VQS European Championships in April 2010 with more prizes to win and some flights tickets with free accommodation to the VQS world Champs in California.

For the avid wave rider, surfing can trigger comparisons to euphoric highs, religious miracles, and some really awesome times, man. It’s no wonder, then, why so many artists draw inspiration from their board-bound adventures. This Saturday, June 27, an all-new—and decidedly killer—mix of contemporary surf art will be unveiled at Carpinteria’s Anderson Art Collective (410 Palm Ave.) from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Titled Rogue Wave, the show will feature everything from ultramodern seascapes and mixed-media works to iconic surf photography and awe-inspiring boards, with proceeds benefiting the S.B. chapter of Surfrider. For more info, call 684-8783 or visit andersonartcollective.com. And for just a couple of reasons to attend the show’s opening party, read on below.
