San Francisco is a progressive city, it's a party city, it's a foodie city-it's
called a lot of things, but rarely a surf city. However, starting today the international
surfing community is eyeing Ocean Beach as Kelly Slater attempts to secure his 11th
World Championship at the
Rip Curl Pro Search Surf Contest,
the first major pro surfing event in San Francisco. The action started this morning
and will continue with a kick off party tonight featuring
Ty Segall at Mezzanine.
For the less adventurous, the
San Francisco Beer Olympics brings an entirely
different style of competition to downtown and the
San Francisco Ski & Snowboard Festival
is back with great deals for SF's snow bunnies and ski bums.
Das Racist return to SF
for a victory lap after their Spin magazine cover story for their largest Bay Area
show to date and
Dam Funk is back with some funk for your ear with the SF Funk Fest.
Phantogram has a headlining slot at The Fillmore and it's a hip-hop all-star party with
Curren$y, Method Man and Big K.R.I.T.
