Beach sports – Spyder Scare N’ Tear Memorial for Frand
The Spyder Surf Scare n’ Tear costume contest began as a memorial for Adam Frand, who died of cardiac arrest in 1998, one year short of graduating from Mira Costa High School. Over the years, proceeds from the contest have been used to place defibrillators in public places. The contest has grown from a tight group of Frand’s friends to an all ages competition presented by Spyder Surf. Surfers are judged equally on their surfing and on their Halloween costumes.
