Red Bull has announced that Red Bull Foam Wreckers, the anti-surf-contest surf contest where only soft-boards are allowed and anyone can win, is coming to Jacksonville Beach this weekend. Minimal rules and maximum fun, just bring yourself and some friends, boards provided! Register to participate at https://participate.redbull.com/en/events/red-bull-foam-wreckers-usa-ds/2024.
The event will feature local surfers of all skill levels, as well as surf stars like Ben Gravy, who will participate and emcee the event.
Red Bull Foam Wreckers is an event series from the mind of “freesurfer” Jamie O’Brien, produced by Red Bull and Catch Surf.
Before each surfer’s “heat” they’ll spin the “Wheel of Shred” to determine which Catch Surf soft-board model they’ll be using. Then, they’ll paddle out with six to 10 of their closest new friends, all on different soft-boards, and proceed to stake their claim as the most “unique” soft-board surfer of the next 15 minutes.
Prizes are up for grabs for those that showcase the most creative, sportive moves throughout the day.
Male and female surf enthusiasts of all levels from Jacksonville and throughout the region will participate.
“Jacksonville is one the best surf towns in America,” said Gravy. “Everyone is so stoked, and it’s the perfect place to host Red Bull Foam Wreckers. This time of year can also make for some pumping surf, which is exciting. The most inclusive surf contest in the world in one of my favorite surf towns on Earth, it’s a perfect recipe for fun!”
The event will be held 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26, on the south side of the Jacksonville Beach pier.
