body board surf comp
Kowabunga!! This isn't your typical surf comp. This year we want to come together to enjoy the wave, the competition, but most of all to support the FIBArk youth paddling program. We're welcoming body boarders of all ages! This year, the Freestyle event will be a jam session where athletes will have a chance to show the judges and crowd their freestyle moves while they take turns throwing down in the playhole. Saturday 6/20 @ 3:30 PM, Office Wave
