Matt Pagan placed first in the inaugural virtual surf contest hosted by South Bay Boardriders and Spyder Surf. Due to the pandemic, surfers competed individually by submitting video entries of their waves ridden between two local breaks, rather than surfing against each other in person. Pagan's winning submission earned him first place in the open men's division. The contest drew 40 total competitors across multiple age and experience divisions.

3. The ET Surf/South Bay Boardriders Club Virtual Event 2 Surf Contest is underway. Contestants’ videos will be accepted through Sunday February 28. Waves must
be ridden between Indicator on the south and the south side of the Santa Monica Pier, on the north.
In previous years, the SBBC contest series has been held throughout the winter on Saturdays in El Porto. But this winter, because of the pandemic, rather than surf
together in heats, in front of judges, competitors are surfing individually, in front of video cameras.
Contest announcer Mark Cole has emphasized that judging is based on the level of surfing, not on the quality of the video.
January’s Spyder Surf/South Bay Boardriders Club Virtual Event 2 Surf Contest drew 40 competitors. The top finishers were Micro Grom Assist: 1. Spencer
