2018 Paul Mitchell Supergirl Surf Pro
Each year Oceanside California hosts the Paul Mitchell Super Girl Surf Pro and 2018 event was won by Carissa Moore. The Super Girl Pro competition is very unique, its all woman of various ages and levels. It’s an event where you see young surfers competing along seasoned pro female athletes. Plus, its located in beautiful Oceanside, with lots of music, food and events scheduled around a weekend timeframe.
If you’ve never attended, makes sure to check out their schedule at Super Girl Pro Surf.
And now for a few photos from this year’s 2018 event. Sorry, I wasn’t there all weekend, so only was able to take a few photos, but I’m sure these will hold you off until next years’ event!
It’s always fun to see some of the pro surfers at this event. Tia Blanco below as well as Tatiana Weston-Webb usually participate in this competition. Not only do they draw in the crowds of fans, but makes it fun for the younger surfers to be able to see and compete along with them.
And here is a tip for anyone wanting to come to this event…get here early! Parking can be challenging. The event takes place right next to the Oceanside Pier, and parking spaces are limited, so be prepared to spend some time looking for parking. But if you get here early, then not only will you get parking but will also see some of the better action, as the surf conditions tend to be better in the early morning.
You can view the event from the beach or the south side of the Oceanside Pier. Both are optimal locations for viewing. And make it an family event, bring your beach umbrella and spend the day. Or better yet, take a walk in the festival village, there’s lots of activities for the kids. Foods to purchase and oh yeah, did I mention they have live bands all weekend long? The best part is that the music and festival is all targeted to youth sports and music, specifically to females, which is a nice since it seems most sporting events today are male dominated.
