19th Annual - Ratopia Surf Classic 2025

The Ratopia Charity Fund was established in August of 2005 after a local surfer, 22 year-old Denny Bales, was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The Ratopia Charity Fund’s initial goals were to support Denny, increase community awareness of leukemia and lymphoma and to raise funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). The vehicle for meeting these goals was the Ratopia Surf Classic.
