OK, so in the history of the Volcom Totally Crustaceous Championships there's been all sorts of themes. We've had pirates, hippies, body builders, hillbillies and this year, a camp. Yup, as in the Totally Crustaceous Oaks Summer Camp, and the transformation of 54th Street in Newport Beach into a kid's summer camp, complete with skid-marked underwear strung up the flag pole. The Volcom employees were the camp councilors and the competitors were the campers.

In case you're not familiar with this Championship surf contest, it's made up of all the surfers who have made it through the Volcom Qualify Series (VQS) in their respective divisions. There's Boys, Girls, Juniors, Air Show and The Pro Am, and the surfers that qualify did so from all around the world. Everyone meets up at the end of the season to compete for a chance to be champion, and walk away with some of the $50,000 purse. There's also some pretty cool prizes donated by the event's sponsors. The coolest part of the whole thing is anyone can enter a VQS contest, and there is no entry free. All you have to do is set your alarm, get your ass to the beach on the right day, bring your board and most importantly get your shred on.

As far the contest went there were some waves, especially for the early morning heats, but like usual in Northern Orange Country it was blown out by 11:00 am, and just like usual in May the conditions were grey. Some standouts last weekend were of course Aussie ripper and Pro Am winner, Mitch Coleborn, along with Carlos Munuz, who came out of nowhere, well actually Costa Rica, and turned some heads. Local boy Colin Moran threw down in the Boys for his hometown, Big Island flyer, Albee Layer, won the Air Show, and Quincy Davis steezily took the Girls championship.

That's that, another VQS has come and gone. The fact that Volcom puts this on every year, doesn't charge an entry fee, and gives away so much money is what makes this contest such a promoter of progession. Can't wait to see what next year's theme is going to be. Check out the full results and video below
