About this event
For The Girls Surf Classic CA is an all-female community surf contest presented by Christian Surfers Girls and Shred Sisters Movement, with Ride Nature supporting the official event page. The September 26 edition moves the California classic to Seaside Reef at Cardiff State Beach and is designed as an encouraging, lower-pressure contest space where girls and women can compete, build confidence, and meet the Southern California surf community. Five divisions cover groms, juniors, shortboard, longboard, and a Mid-Length Magic fun-board finale. LiveHeats currently shows 108 entered athletes across the five divisions. Beach check-in opens at 7:00 AM, the first heat and event kickoff are at 8:00 AM, the final heat is scheduled for 4:00 PM, and an awards after-party begins at 5:30 PM at Shoots Fish & Beer in Carlsbad. Competitor registration closed August 26, but the organizer still lists volunteer, vendor, and pay-it-forward participation links. Spectating takes place on a public state beach; no event admission ticket is advertised, though California State Parks charges demand-based vehicle day-use parking.
