The QS 1000 returns to Pismo Beach for the second year.
In the second year the 2018 QS1000 in Pismo Beach was a success not unlike the year before. Professional surfers from around the world competed on the North side of the pier to close out the North American regional season. This second event was a great success and included an inaugural women's event with 16 year old surfer Kirra Pinkerton from San Clemente, California, taking the win over Samantha Sibley in the women's division.
In the men's division Leon Glatzer got favorable waves while battling Taylor Clark in the pounding beach break while showing the crowd his aerial antics and gaining his first ever Qualifying series win.

Great weather was enjoyed by spectators at the 2017 Q.S. World Surfing League contest. The waves were small to medium for the most part but with professional surfers there was definitely a lot of excitement.
