The theme of this year’s Vans US Open of Surfing is focused on the importance of environmental responsibility. Eco-consciousness is integrated into all Vans activations to showcase the connection of sustainability with surf culture and surf products. This year’s VUSOS also features community events, including a two-day youth surf camp experience from August 3-4 with two sessions, where non-profits from Southern California will bring in youth from underserved communities to experience the US Open. Led by longtime Vans non-profit partner City Surf Project, additional partners for the US Open Vans Surf Camp include Stoked Mentoring, Native Like Water, and the HB Rangers program.
The Vans US Open offers a plethora of live-action summer entertainment, including surfboard shaping workshops, art installations, customization workshops, music lessons, movie premieres, and much more. Activities and workshops are scheduled every day throughout the Open.
The Van Doren Village will feature activities, sponsor booths, and the Vans Retail Experience, an immersive shopping experience tied directly to the theme of sustainability, and Vans founder Steve Van Doren will be on the grill serving free lunch to fans every day from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm daily.
