Oceanside has so much going on!
We were excited for the 18th annual Nissan Super Girl Surf Pro. "This 3-day event is jam-packed with a world-class surfing competition that will blow your mind, and a festival village loaded with female-inspired vendors, activities and amazing entertainment." What makes it extra exciting is the fact that all this fabulousness is free to attend!Established in 2007 as a showcase for women in action sports, the Super Girl Pro Series is the only large-scale all-women’s action sports, esports and lifestyle series in the world. Developed as a celebration of female strength and empowerment, the platform has grown into a series of four incredible festivals centered around providing social, athletic, cultural, educational, business, and entertainment opportunities for young women in areas where they are traditionally underrepresented. How totally cool!Watching these women athletes was inspiring.
“Surfing is such an amazing concept.
You’re taking on Nature with a little stick and saying,
‘I’m gonna ride you!’ And a lot of times Nature says,
‘No you’re not!’ and crashes you to the bottom.”
– Jolene Blalock
“I don’t need easy,
I just need possible.”
– Bethany Hamilton

What's not to love?T-shirt reading was pretty entertaining, too.Live music played continuously throughout the day.The big surprise came with the Marine Band San Diego. When I saw it on the schedule, I was expecting traditional marches, etc. Nope! These were ROCKERS! It was almost surreal to see them, in uniform, singing ditties like Barracuda by Heart. Wild.We concluded with the first ever, for the Super Girl Surf Pro, a Female Lifeguard Competition. This event showcased the incredible strength, skill, and dedication of female lifeguards. There were thrilling demonstrations of lifesaving techniques, intense physical challenges, and a celebration of the vital role these remarkable women play in ensuring beach safety.
