Musicians scheduled to be at the competition include co-chair Brandon Boyd and fellow Incubus members Mike Einziger and Ben Kenney, Porno For Pyros member Peter DiStefano, Switchfoot bassist Tim Foreman.

"My friends and I have grown up surfing in California and we try to do everything we can to preserve the beaches and oceans that have afforded us the opportunity to surf," Boyd said in a press release. "Through our band, Incubus, we've been lucky enough to raise funds to donate to The Surfrider Foundation in the past. Celebrity Surf Jam is just one more way I can help raise awareness for need to protect our coastal environments."
