A 4-star-rated World Qualifying Series event, The O'Neill Sebastian Inlet Pro presented by Ron Jon annually marks the return of high-level professional surfing to Florida’s best known break. The contest is sanctioned by the Association of Surfing Professionals and offers prize money of $85,000.00 to competitors and valuable points leading to qualification on the prestigious 2010 World Championship Tour.

The O'Neill Sebastian Inlet Pro presented by Ron Jon is directly tied into the semi-annual Surf Expo, which will is held at Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center. The Sebastian Inlet Pro segues straight into Surf Expo and will likely end during the show.
