In the ‘60s Hoppy Swartz with the help of Leroy Grannis and the Kerwin brothers put on The Hermosa Beach Surfing Championships for The United States Surfing Association as part of The International Surfing Festival. It was one of the biggest surfing contests of the year. Eddie Solt wanted to bring it all back and did just that last Saturday on the South side of the Hermosa Beach Pier.
