This past year, our 9-year-old, all volunteer club launched nearly a dozen new activities in support of our mission “to introduce families, youth, and our community to all aspects of ocean activities, and to being guardians of our local shoreline.”
The South Bay Boardriders Club established the Big Wave Challenge in 2011 to recognize a select group of surfers who chase big waves. Waves must be at least “Triple Overhead” and caught between Indicator in Palos Verdes and Dockweiler State Beach in El Segundo.
A core goal of the South Bay Boardriders Club is to encourage young people’s growth, in and out of the water. With that in mind the SBBC Scholarship program was launched.
In 2019, SBBCwill have laptops and printers to provide live computer scoring. An electronic clock and horn will signal the starts and endings of heats. Solar power will replace the noisy, polluting generators.
David Nuuhiwa and fellow Golden Era Hermosa Beach surf stars Mike Purpus and John Joseph were reunited at the Hermosa Beach pier for the Hermosa Beach Hotdogger Championships.
