The 2012 Quiksilver Rincon Classic wrapped up February 12th. Local organizers say that the level of surfing was the highest they have seen at this annual event. Rincon took on a festive atmosphere for the 2 day competition with surfers, fans and sponsor tents. It was a sunny albeit breezy weekend on the central coast. The event featured 270 competitors from the Gremlins (11 and under), all the way to the Legends (55+).

The Surf Happens Surfing School produced the event and has been doing so for the past 12 years. This year's event was the 29th of this annual event.
