In just a few days, one of the most anticipated events in surfing is taking place in Huntington Beach. The 2012 Nike US Open of Surfing (June 28^th- August 5^th) promises to be yet another epic event in the world of surf, skate, music and art.  With Hurley as a presenting sponsor along with Converse, the US Open of Surfing is the biggest stage in competitive surfing. It serves as a pivotal point on the ASP World Tour and one of the most prestigious titles in the sport.

While it’s true that Hurley has some pretty awesome boardshorts, all you  creative types will most definitely enjoy the freedom of customizing your very own boardshorts with the Hurley Phantom* Create.

The good folks at Hurley challenged us at Zappos HQ to flex our design muscles with the Phantom Faceoff Contest. Click HERE to vote for your favorite pair! The two styles with the most “likes” will be created and given to the lucky (and talented) Zappos employees who designed them.

* Hurley’s Phantom boardshorts have been named “Boardshort of the Year” by the Surf Industry Manufacturers Association (SIMA) the past four years in a row!
