Organizers have canceled the Vans U.S. Open of Surfing, an annual event near the Huntington Beach for 60 years, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
A look at how sports leagues, including the NFL, MLB, MLS, NBA and NHL, are responding to the coronavirus outbreak.
Held annually near the Huntington Beach pier since 1959, and known officially as the U.S. Open of Surfing since 1994, the event is considered one of the largest surfing and action sports competitions in the world, with a temporary “village” of sponsor booths and surf shops surrounding the competitions along the beach.
But with the coronavirus crisis continuing to prevent most large gatherings in Southern California, this summer’s edition became the latest sporting event called off for health concerns. “Our mission is to provide an authentic action sports community experience at the Vans U.S. Open of Surfing,” said Carly Gomez, VP of Marketing, Americas at Vans. “It’s a unique environment that showcases our incredible network of athletes, artists and brand collaborators who all represent creativity. We look forward to bringing the evolution of this event to life in 2021 when the event returns to Huntington Beach.
