Date Published:
UPDATE: Check out our latest guide to the event with schedules and all the information here (http://icabo.com/cabo-news/374/guide-los-cabos-open-of-surf-2013). Whether anyone has known before that surf in Cabo is quite popular, they will certainly become aware now that Baja California Sur Secretary of Tourism, Ruben Lugo Reachi, recently announced that Los Cabos will host the next 2013 World Surfing Tournament. This June 17-23, San Jose del Cabo will be where members of the World Tournament Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) plan on hitting the waves at Costa Azul, featuring the participation of surfers from around the world. Contestants will all be vying for chunks of the $155,000 (US) dollar purse. In January, similar competitions, with an equal amount of money awarded to winners and top three finishers, were held in Hawaii, and China. In February, the tournaments have been contested in Puerto Rico and Australia and they continue in March at such exotic places like Argentina and Japan. ''These are the highest level of surf competitions that award points to competitors, which qualify them to the world championships. It's an important tournament that is part of the ASP series.'' said Lugo Reachi.

A famous line now used by people in relation to wild and unspeakable exploits that occur in Las Vegas. ''There's no better place to surf than at Costa Azul'', said Sarah J of Boise, Idaho. A prime surfing location that many who have come and gone, and others who reside in Cabo associate and recognize as Zippers. ''I thoroughly enjoyed watching the surfers,'' added corkscru57 of Greenwich, Connecticut, when describing his experience at Zippers on Tripadvisor's community board comments. And when it comes to surfing, the sport itself has undergone some valuable transformations in terms of how the making of the boards has turned into an art form itself. It's a process which has not changed since the appearance of the polyurethane that goes over the board. A material that was inherited from the technological advancements after World War ll. Before then, rafting wood was used, which was a more difficult material to work with. A lot of surfers have a unique style, based on their personal weight and height, but nothing differentiates one from the other like their boards.
