Head to West Cliff Drive to see a weekend full of amazing paddle sports ride the waves!

The star event at the Santa Cruz Paddlefest (SCPF) is held at the world-famous Steamer Lane surf break found along West Cliff Drive in the heart of Santa Cruz, California. Paddle surfers have flocked to Santa Cruz from around the globe for over 33 years to surf, compete, and connect with the paddle surf community at the SCPF.

Steamer Lane can hold double overhead+ sized waves, but also offers high-quality competition waves at much smaller sizes. It is the host to SCPF’s elite surfing competition of surf kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, and waveskis. Each division/category competes in a 4-5 person, 20-minute heat on Friday and Saturday, and then those who will move on to the finals will compete on Sunday.
