Tamarack Beach will come alive on Saturday, September 6, 2025, from 8 AM to 5 PM, as the community gathers for The Annual State Beach Classic, a heartfelt tribute to Bannon Capps. This vibrant event offers more than just a surfing competition; it’s a celebration of Carlsbad’s spirit with activities for the whole family.

The day will feature a showcase of local surfing talent and a lively mix of food, music, sand contests, and raffles. While the event is free to attend, there is a nominal fee for those entering the surfing competition.
