The Suncoast Surfrider Foundation competed in the state
wide surfing challenge from Cocoa Beach Surfrider Foundation
and “The Watermans Challenge”. The challenge was a friendly
surf competition between state Surfrider Chapters in a “winner
takes all” format! The big prize was a great trophy and
bragging rights for another year by the winning chapter!
In this year’s competition teams could have between four and
six people. Suncoast Surfrider competed with four of our
members! Meanwhile, Sebastian Inlet, Cocoa Beach, Central
Florida and the Miami Dade Chapter all competed with six
members. The Results were astounding as Suncoast Chapter
came in second in what was truly a close battle. Sebastian
Inlet won the event for the second year in a row, 160 points
to Suncoast’s 156! We were able to come out ahead of
Cocoa Beach, who battled hard, Central Florida (brought a
phenom), and Miami Dade (long board skills). Thanks to all that
participated and helped out with the event. Special Thanks to
Sean O’Hare and The Cocoa Beach Surf Museum.
