Supergirls Play to Win

Share!






This looks rad. I wish I lived in Southern CA this weekend so I could check out Supergirl Jam 2009. This weekend is the Supergirl Pro Junior surfing competition in Oceanside where the top female surfers ages 20 and under will compete for the top prize of $15,000. The surfing event will be followed by events for female skateboarders on August 19th in Woodward West and snowboarders on September 6th in Venice Beach. For the snowboarding competition they bring snow to Venice beach. How fun is that?! As if three weekends of cheering on the top female athletes in traditionally male-dominated sports, some as young as 13, wasn’t enough to make you feel like it was your lucky day. According to event organizers: The Supergirl Jam is the action sports industry's only large-scale, all-girls action sports competition. This unique event features more than 100 of the top female action sports athletes in a competition series designed to promote and celebrate female strength, independence and empowerment. This year, the Supergirl Jam is expanding and will be held over three separate dates to better showcase the best female pros in surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding. Oh yeah, in case you didn’t know Supergirl was a girl’s sports competition, they’ve made everything pink and purple to help you out. Highlights from the women’s skateboarding street finals at the 2008 Supergirl Jam.
