Published: June 21, 2025 Press Release

This summer, Vissla is taking its iconic Cosmic Creek Vintage Surf Fest on the road—landing on the shores of New Jersey for a brand-new celebration of surf culture: Cosmic Shores. The three-stop series kicks off the week of July 8, bringing vintage surfboards, family-friendly vibes, and the soul of surf history to the Garden State.

The Cosmic Shores tour schedule includes:

  • July 8 – Manasquan Inlet
  • July 9 – Ship Bottom, Long Beach Island
  • July 11 – Margate Pier

Each stop will feature a full day of surf competition in true Cosmic Creek style: surfers riding vintage crafts from the 70s and 80s in single fin and twin fin heats, celebrating the eras that shaped modern surf.

Cosmic Shores is open to the public and welcomes surfers of all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re a grom, a dad, or someone who just digs retro lines, there’s a spot for you. Sign-ups are now open at Vissla.com.

After the sun sets, the stoke continues with evening after parties at each stop, where Vissla will host the first-ever U.S. premiere of Friction of Perception—a new film starring Liam O’Brien, chronicling his journey through surf, style, and self.

Supported by YETI, I-SEA, and Sisstr, the Cosmic Shores tour blends art, community, and wave riding in a one-of-a-kind East Coast experience. Whether you’re competing or just soaking it in, it’s the perfect excuse to gather the crew, load up the van, and chase a little cosmic energy down the coast.
