🏄♀️ Super Girl Surf Festival This Weekend: So Much to Love
Come for the surf contests. Stay for the festival. In addition to killer surfing and SD locals contending for the title, this FREE festival includes concerts, beach volleyball, soccer, flag football, stars from the San Diego Wave FC, San Diego Mojo Pro Volleyball, SI Women’s Games, and so much more!
Fri - Sun, Sept 19-21 | Super Girl Surf Festival | Oceanside Pier Area
The Super Girl Pro is such a special event for me. I grew up as a little girl on the beach, asking for autographs from my idols and watching them compete here every year. In 2023, I made it full circle and won the event — one of the most meaningful wins of my career, for exactly that reason.
-Alyssa Spencer, 2023 Super Girl Surf winner, from Encinitas
🗳️ The Final Say: Your Thoughts Count!
SD Mojo Pro Volleyball and More Will Attend the Super Girl Pro
Setter August Raskie returns to San Diego to play pro volleyball for the San Diego Mojo, and will be signing autographs and helping with the youth beach volleyball clinic at the Super Girl Surf Festival.
I always look forward to events like this because community is so important to me. I’m looking forward to being back in SD and bringing more energy and experience into this team!
-August Raskie, Setter, San Diego Mojo Pro Volleyball
