Depending on the surfing conditions, the event takes place in San Juan Beach, Famara Beach, or La Santa. San Juan Beach becomes a giant colliseum of surfing for 10 days built by giant tents and bleekers for spectators and cars and camper vans sorrounding the shore of the perfect peeling reef break.
But alot of the best surfing happens outside of the competition as the competitors go free surfing around the island. On the line up you will be surfing with surfers like Dane Reynolds doing big aerials or Josh Kerr deep in the tube at El Quemao. You never know who will pop up next. Is like the circus is in town and there is alot of freaks out loose. Incredible surfing not to be missed.

Franito is one of the local favorites.
The competition moves to La Santa and the wave there breaks very close to the rocks.
