More than 350 surfers competed last weekend in San Onofre for the 13th annual Gathering of the Tribes Longboard surf event, which draws more than 18 surf clubs from around the nation.

The event – at Church Beach last weekend – had rough, choppy winds on Saturday, but the last day provided nice 3-to-6-glassy-footers.
There were two areas where surfers were judged. It was the 13th year for the club competition. The event also included a Stand- up Paddleboard segment for the first time.
The Coalition of Surfing Clubs is an international organization that acts as a united voice to address issues related to coastal water quality and government action. There are more than 10,000 surfers in the coalition.
