World famous Champion Surfer and home town sports hero, Cory Lopez celebrated the 5th Anniversary of Nekton Surf Shop, in his hometown of Indian Rocks Beach, Florida on Saturday, December 17th.
Sponsored by O'Neill, Rockstar Energy Drink, Anarchy Eyewear, Shark/Freestyle, WaveJet and Vans; the Nekton Surf Shop 5th Anniversary Christmas Party attracted several hundred fans and patrons who gathered under clear blue, sunny Florida skies to get a personally autographed poster from Lopez.
Fresh from competing in Hawaii for the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing and his recent nomination for Surfer Magazine's Tube of the Year Award, the champ enjoyed mixing it up with friends and locales while helping to raise funds for the Suncoast Surfrider Chapter.
Cory's sponsors and shop vendors contributed prizes for the $2.00 door raffle. The after party continued at Coaster's Bar and Grill with a Live Concert by local band 'Full Fledged Unit'. The event was deemed a success and a great time was had by all who attended.
