🌊 A huge thank you to everyone who made the South Bay Surf Awards such an epic celebration! 🙏

We had a blast catching the best winter waves and honoring the stoke that keeps our local surf scene alive. From the biggest wave to the gnarliest wipeout, we couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of our sponsors: Chilli, Body Glove, Dakine, Hermosa Beach Museum, Tower12, Blackline, X31 Creations!

A special shoutout to our courtyard guests for making the space come alive with local vendors, food, and community vibes. Your energy added the perfect touch to the night! All our amazing community partners: Hermosa City Parks and Recreation, South Bay Surfrider Foundation, Dive n' Surf, Kona Big Wave, Manhattan Beach RoundHouse Aquarium, and Queen of the South Bay! 🎉

Our club is celebrating 15 years and counting. Here’s to many more years of waves, friends, and good vibes! 🌊🌟🤙

We are heartbroken to share that we’ve lost the most loved and cherished human, Greg Browning. , who was an absolute badass from the day he received the devastating diagnosis of ALS. Greg contributed to so many people throughout his life, including our club, and as the photo shows he was an amazing surfer with style and power. RIP Greg, and enjoy your everlasting surf trip above 🙏🏼. 📸 @balzerphoto @ffejgninworb
