The Dana Point Grand Prix is into its 12th season and running strong. The event itself features race divisions that vary from fun kid races to full blown professional racing with a price purse totaling one million dollars. The event brings tons of vendors, giving attendees a perfect time to pick up racing gear directly from the source, a chance to meet local riders and check out Dana Points local bike scene. The event this year is going down on April 30th and will be running all day. As always the course wraps around the local back streets surrounding Killer Dana giving us a perfect view from our front door! We hope to see all the local bike enthusiasts there!
Killer Dana’s “Board Room”
Over the last year tons of cosmetic changes have happened here at Killer Dana, we have moved a lot of things around, created some new spaces and now we have a dedicated side of our shop that is all about surfing, “The Board Room.” The focus point obviously being surf boards, we stay up to date with all that is new about surfing. We carry multiple board brands Firewire, Lost, Channel Island and frequently get the best local shapes in from guys like Mark Ellis and Timmy Patterson who have been making boards for the local surf conditions for decades! Along with boards we have all the hard goods that you could want, everything from wet suits and booties to the newest fin set ups that everybody is trying to get their hands on! Feel free to call the shop anytime of the day, whether you need some info on local surf spots or need some product info, we love our local community!
If you have a nice ding on your board and don’t feel comfortable fixing it yourself come in and talk to Ralphy, hes been fixing up surfboards for years now and offers his service to anybody who just wants their board fixed correctly and just wants to get back in the water.
Dana Point Surf Club
Surf clubs are back! In the last year Dana Points surf club has been taking shape. Now a member of the West Coast Board Riders Club, Dana Point will take on other coastal cities clubs in competitions all up and down the coast. The competitions have divisions for all ages and the teams roster will be decided by team captains and how hard you shred!
Killer Dana is proud to be a main sponsor of the D.P. surf club. We will have the occasional party after an event, grill up some hot dogs and have a local band jam for a few hours. If your looking to sign up for the club go see Happy (Mike Cruikshank) back in our board room and he will hook you up with all the info you need!
Festival of Whales
Dana Points Festival of Whales is into its 47th year running, a event involving the local community and its appreciation for our near by coast lines and all the wildlife living in it. The event will be going down two weekends this year, March 3, 4, 10 and 11th, and will feature a ton of attractions for all ages. Everything from concerts to educational shows with live displays over at the Ocean Institute. The Killer Dana surf shop crew is stoked to be apart of such an awesome event this year, we pulled out our old V.W. shop bus, decorated it and ourselves in D.P. colors and hit the streets for the parade through Dana Points main streets!
Picking the right board
Don’t ride what the pros ride. A lot of surfers make this mistake and it’s easy to see why. “These pros rip, so I’m gonna ride what they ride.” Do yourself a favor: if you’re riding a model that the best surfers use, add volume accordingly. What works for Kelly and SeaBass at Tavarua might not work as well for you at, say, Huntington Beach. Riding the same board that the pros ride—ultra thin, narrow, and with a 4oz glass job—might look great on the beach, but it’s not going to do you any favors in the water.

Best surf shop of Orange County
Killer Dana Surf Shop pays tribute to Orange County’s unparalleled right-hand point break of the same name, site of some of the biggest rideable waves in the county before it was eliminated by the building of Dana Point Harbor in the late 1960s. Photos on the shop walls offer testament to the legendary wave and heroic rides of the area’s top surfers of the time.
