Just about the time when the late Summer temperatures are reaching their peak, you know it’s time for the annual meeting of the moto crowd and the surf scene…Surfercross.

This event’s the brainchild of Mike Parsons and Jeremy Albrecht, and the ninth annual edition features a tried-and-true format. Two motos each for the Industry and Pro classes. Both classes run a relay-style event at Starwest, and the randomly selected teams are match a surfer and moto pro for both the moto and surf days. Trophies are handed out for both each overall day (moto and surf), and for the combined overall.

It was cool to see Josh Hansen come out aboard the bike he’ll ride next year with the new Gibbs Racing Team (that’s him in the photo aboard a Yamaha YZ450F), but there was also lots of other action during the day.

You can check out the moto results below, or click the link above for the photo gallery. Don’t forget to check back tomorrow to see how the moto guys do in the water.
