Surfside is just south of Huntington Beach state park, Or Myrtle Beach State park, cant remember the exact name. Camping is relatively cheap at the State park, and distance is minimal. You could land at the upper end of the State park or use the ramp at Springmaid beach and leave the boats on that beach, with a quick sail south to the race site. Springmaid resort is close(no camping) and very inexpensive.
