In a separate competition, nine teams of three professionals will be carving for two days in the Cool California Carvers Class. The 2013 People’s Choice award winner, Bruce Phillips of Carlsbad, will join the 2012 grand champion, Carmel’s Rusty Croft, in producing the show. Gerry Kirk, known as the father of modern sand-sculpting, will be the chief judge.

Along with the competition, there will be a dimensional art exposition where several artists will sell art on the pier. For kids there will be rides, a giant sandbox, and sandcastle-building lessons.
