Snapchat Story: Ocean Park Surf Contest

This is the unedited Snapchat Story that was upload as the contest was going on. This was shot on a phone on both days of the contest. It's just random snap. The official photos and contest report will be up soon. Add us on Snapchat for more Stories on all the stuff we shoot. And for random nonsense.



If you're unfamilar with Snapchat, it's a mobile app that lets you take and post photos and 10 second video clips you shoot on your phone or tablet. These photos and videos are called snaps, they only last for 24hrs. You either send these to snapchat friends or post them to your Story. Snapchat Stories string Snaps together to create a narrative that also lasts for 24 hours.

Also, check out one of the sponsors of the contest, REI.com!
