Despite a beach riot during a surfing event on Aug. 31, the sponsor of the event said last week that he wants it to return to Huntington Beach.

“There are other beaches that can stage the event, but they wouldn’t be able to accommodate people as well,” Crosby said.
Councilwoman Ruth Bailey said that so far there have been few demands from Huntington Beach residents to end the Ocean Pacific Pro Surfing Championships.
