SurferCross!

It’s a two day event, combining top moto riders & surfers. First day is moto, next day is surfing – combine the scores and see who wins!



It was Monday August 5 at Saddleback MX Park, and Tuesday August 6 at San Onofre State Beach. Boniface, Byrne, Campbell, Ferry, Fonseca, Garcia, Gonzalez, Johnson, Langston, Reed, Roncada, Sorby … world caliber riders & surfers!



SurferCross is all about having fun. It’s put together by Jeremy Albrecht (his regular job being a race tech with Kawasaki’s MX Team, specifically James Stewart) with Mike Parsons. This was the fourth annual event. Also helping were Fox Racing, Oakley, Boost Mobile, Asterisk, Wahoo’s fish tacos, and Turtle Bay Hilton. Yamaha and Kawasaki helped supply bikes for some surfers, with Hansens supplying the drinks.



Michael Byrne and his partner Garth Tarlow won the moto event. Rick Johnson and Sunny Garcia won the surfing comp, and took the two day overall as well.
