The U.S. Open of Surfing finally made a return to Huntington Beach on September 20, 2021 for the first time in over a year.
The event has been scaled down this year, with only surfing competitions being held. The BMX and skateboarding competitions that drew large crowds in the past are not scheduled for this year.
Due to COVID-19 lockdowns and health guidelines, the 2020 U.S. Open of Surfing was cancelled. However, in September of 2021, it was announced that the event would return once again.
Despite this, top competitors from around the world have traveled to Huntington Beach to compete in the 2021 U.S. Open of Surfing in hopes of becoming champion.
