US Open Of Surfing "Lifestyle" Photos

No coverage of the US Open Of Surfing is complete with the "Lifestyle" photos. Due to last year's riots, Vans scaled down the event this year. No more music stage and less vendors than the past year's event. The event focused more on being a surfing contest instead of being a three-ring circus like the previous years.

Smaller, quieter crowd this year, even on the last day.
