Foam Wreckers: SoCal’s Anti-Surf Showdown
Radical Rides: Foam Wreckers Take Over SoCal Waves
In the sun-kissed shores of San Clemente, a unique surf contest is making waves, quite literally. The Red Bull Foam Wreckers event, scheduled for August 12, 2023, at T-Street, San Clemente, is not your typical surf competition. It’s an invitation to let loose, embrace the spirit of fun, and ride the waves on a soft-top surfboard.
The premise is simple: participants must ride a foamie surfboard. Beyond that, the rules are minimal. Surfers are encouraged to catch as many waves as they desire and ride them in any style they prefer. The ultimate aim? To have an unparalleled amount of fun, more than anyone else on the beach. And for those who might not have a foamie in their quiver, worry not. In collaboration with Catch Surf, the event ensures that soft boards are available for all participants. So, all that’s required is your presence and enthusiasm.
But there’s a twist. The exact format of the Red Bull Foam Wreckers event is designed to be as unpredictable as the ocean waves. Participants will get a chance to spin the “Wheel of Shred” before their heat. This determines the specific Catch Surf soft-board model they’ll be riding. Imagine paddling out with a group of fellow surf enthusiasts, each on a different soft-board, competing not for points or technical prowess, but for the title of the most “distinctive” foamie surfer of that moment.
The judging criteria remain a mystery until the very last moment. While the professional judges have their unique preferences, which they’ll reveal before the heat, participants are encouraged to draw inspiration from anywhere and everywhere.
In essence, the Foam Wreckers Surf Competition is a celebration of the free spirit of surfing. It’s a reminder that at its core, surfing is about joy, camaraderie, and the thrill of riding a wave. So, if you’re in or around San Clemente this August, make your way to T-Street. Whether you’re a participant or a spectator, the Foam Wreckers event promises a day of sun, surf, and smiles.
