Held at Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz, the O’Neill Cold Water Classic has been Northern California’s premier professional surfing event since 1987. “The Lane” has become known as one of the world's greatest spectator venues for a surf contest thanks to its perfect natural architecture. With steep, vertical cliffs overlooking the fabled right point break, "The Lane" resembles an ancient Roman coliseum when thousands of onlookers line the cliff railing to watch top surfers compete.
The O’Neill Cold Water Classic has a storied history tapping into a legacy of surfing talent with previous winners including legends Ritchie Collins, Martin Potter and Tom Curren, local Santa Cruz favorites Kieran Horn and Adam Replogle and Foster’s World Tour standouts Taylor Knox, Joel Parkinson and Bobby Martinez. Brimming with local pride, Steamer Lane’s cold, rough conditions and natural arena-like setting provide the perfect backdrop for Northern California’s pre-eminent surf competition.
