ASA Entertainment has announced that the U.S. Air Force Super Girl Surf Pro presented by Jersey Mike’s will celebrate its fourth year at the Jacksonville Beach Pier and SeaWalk Pavilion on Nov. 8-10. The nationally televised festival is centered around the World Surf League (WSL) QS3000 women’s competition and features live music and other events focused on empowering young women and showcasing their talents.
All competitions, concerts, classes and activities are free and open to the public.
Some of the biggest names in women’s surfing are expected to attend, including 2023 Pipe Masters Champion Moana Jones-Wong, crowd favorite and two-time Super Girl Champion Sage Erikson, 2024 Super Girl Surf Pro San Diego Champion Eden Walla and defending Super Girl Surf Pro Jacksonville Champion Keala Tomodo-Bannert.
In addition to the world-class surfing, the event features an action-packed Festival Village at the SeaWalk Pavilion with 11 live concerts; an all-female DJ Competition; women’s beach soccer, beach volleyball and beach lacrosse tournaments; free classes in fitness, yoga, Zumba, wellness and dance; professional skateboarding and inline skating competitions; celebrity speakers; women’s longboarding; panel discussions; female artists; social influencers; autograph signings; an adult beverage garden; food trucks; and more family-friendly activities.
New elements for 2024 include a women’s flag football tournament and cheerleading competition. Combined with existing events, Super Girl Surf Pro expects to attract more than 1,100 women competing across 10 sports at the festival. The festival organizers have reached an agreement to continue bringing the event to Jacksonville Beach for another four years.
The Super Girl Concert Series, which is part of the CELSIUS Essential Vibes Tour, will feature 11 artists performing free live concerts, including star acts like Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, CeeLo Green, The Expendables, Artikal Sound System, Hannah Wicklund and many more.
The event is part of the Super Girl Series, a mission-based platform that includes three annual women’s action sports, esports and lifestyle events designed to promote female empowerment, inclusion and equality.
Each of the Super Girl events are centered around providing athletic, social, cultural, educational and entertainment opportunities for young women in traditionally male-dominated industries.
“We are thrilled to have such an exciting and diverse lineup of activities at the event in addition to world-class surfing,” said Rick Bratman, CEO of ASA Entertainment, the event’s producer. “To have legendary artists like Joan Jett and CeeLo Green performing and using their voices to help promote Super Girl’s empowerment platform is incredible. On the surfing side, the event is not only a showcase for the top-ranked surfers in the world, but also a springboard to help launch surf careers and provide unmatched mentorship between pros and the next generation of young rippers.”
The event is supported by the U.S. Air Force, Jersey Mike’s Subs, Florida Blue, CELSIUS, Essence Cosmetics, Atlantic Self Storage, Kroger Delivery, the SpringHill Suites Jacksonville Beach, Perfect Hydration, The Mayo Clinic, Brine Lacrosse, Vive Organics, Keel Farms, Eidon, Pura Vida and the City of Jacksonville’s Tourist Development Council.
