Celebrate Easter at Cocoa Beach with Ron Jon

For four decades Ron Jon has held their annual Surfing Festival on Easter weekend.  It’s billed as the second oldest surfing competition in the United States.  It’s also expected to draw more than 300 amateur and professional, male and female surfers of all ages, as well as thousands of spectators to the Cocoa Beach area.  This year, in addition to the classic surfing and boarding competitions, the festival will award trophies to the winners of the Men and Women’s Amateur Short Board competitions (age 25-45), as well as the Future 6 Vertical Skateboard Challenge.

This promises to be a really fun weekend for everyone!!  Not only are there the typical festival type of activities, Ron Jon has done a really great job of offering all attendees and their families the opportunity to take part in traditional surfing events as well as traditional Easter events.  This weekend, spectators don’t have to be just spectators!  Beginners can attend surfing and boarding clinics while foodies enter the wing eating contest and enjoy the variety of musical acts!  On Sunday, families can join an Easter egg hunt, go to one of the Easter sunrise services, or take part any of the other festivities!

As titans in the industry, Ron Jon continues to bring major surfing events to the east coast of the U.S.  The 2012 Ron Jon Easter Surfing Festival will take place from Friday, April 6 to Sunday, April 8 at both the Cocoa Beach Pier and Shepard Park Beach. The festival is free and open to all, water sports enthusiast or not, regardless of age and gender.
