ANNOUNCEMENT!!! Mark your calendars for 1/25/2025 for what will be the BEST party of 2025 at @saintrocke in Hermosa Beach!! On November 9, 2009, The South Bay Boardrider’s Club was created. That’s right, 15 years ago, and we want to PARTY to celebrate this accomplishment!

We want YOU to join us at this celebration of our club’s 15 years, AND celebrate nearly 100 years of the South Bay’s impact on surf culture and the surf industry. From 1907 when George Freeth was hired by Henry Huntington to give surfing exhibitions and work as a lifeguard in Redondo Beach, as well as past and current local surfers, surf shops, surf photographers and filmmakers , and the innovators like Dale “Hawk” Velzy that opened the world’s first surf shop in 1950 in Manhattan Beach, Bruce McFarland (grew up in Manhattan Beach) and his American Wave Technology that produces the wave at Waco many of you have surfed, and of course @jmmfoundation that pioneered Ocean Therapy making a huge difference in the lives of thousands. We have SO much to be proud of!

6-7pm private party for SBBC members-only (join if you haven’t) with taco bar and special guest acoustic performer, followed at 8pm by the popular @thepinemountainlogs keeping the dance floor hopping all night long.

This event WILL sell out so purchase your tickets ASAP. Link in bio! See you there!!!
