With absurdly little notice, The Watercraft Journal wants to let you know that the 4th Annual Huntington Beach Moto-Surf & Freeride is coming to the Huntington Beach Pier this May 6-7 – yeah, that’s right. Just a couple days from now. Believe it or not, spectator admission is free!
After going over to the RPM Racing Enterprises website and finding the event listing we have some extra information to share:
Huntington Beach Pier, South side
The City of Huntington Beach has granted access to the lot off Huntington Drive & PCH for this event (same pit parking lot as we used in 2019). This lot will accommodate all race teams, enclosed trailers & motorhomes (dry camping only, no hook ups). All parking is 1st come, 1st serve. Pits open on Friday at 8:00 am.
