Jacksonville, Florida will host the annual Super Girl Surf Pro, a renowned female-only surfing competition, featuring 50 top female surfers competing over three days. With free admission and a vibrant Festival Village, the event promotes women’s empowerment and community engagement, alongside live music and activities tailored to everyone.
Jacksonville, Florida is set to host the annual Super Girl Surf Pro, a premier female-only surfing competition, from November 7 to November 9, 2025. This event, recognized as part of the largest female-only surfing competition series globally, will showcase 50 of the best female surfers who will compete for both the title and a cash prize.
First held in 2007 in Oceanside, California, the competition moved to Jacksonville in 2021 and has expanded to accommodate surfers from various levels, including world champions and amateurs. The Super Girl Surf Pro stands out as the only surfing competition that exclusively features female athletes, as acknowledged by the World Surf League (WSL).
The Super Girl Surf Pro will unfold over three action-packed days, with competitions structured to enhance spectator engagement. The first two days will be dedicated to shortboard competitions, while the final day will shift focus to longboarding. Each heat consists of 2 to 4 competitors attempting to catch the best two waves within a 30-minute timeframe. Competitors are scored on a 0.0-10.0 scale, with their best two wave scores combined for a total score. If no waves are caught during the first 15 minutes of a heat, the clock resets, allowing for more opportunities to catch ideal conditions, with specific rules in place should conditions remain unfavorable.
Admission to the event is free, encouraging community participation and making it accessible to all spectators. Free parking options exist at Jacksonville Beach from Monday to Thursday, with a flat fee on weekends. In addition to the competitive surfing, the event features a vibrant Festival Village at the Seawalk Pavilion that offers food, music, and art from various vendors, enriching the experience for attendees.
This year, the musical lineup includes popular acts like The Band Perry, The Plain White T’s, and Joan Jett, providing an entertaining atmosphere alongside the competition. The event will also feature a range of additional activities, including beach lacrosse, beach volleyball, skateboard competitions, and various wellness classes; all aimed at empowering women and fostering community engagement.
Past competitors at the Super Girl Surf Pro have included notable names such as Caroline Marks, Alyssa Spencer, and Kirra Pinkerton. The competition will be broadcast live on the World Surf League website and app, allowing those who cannot attend to watch the action from anywhere.
The Super Girl Surf Pro has not only become a highlight of the surfing calendar but also serves a greater purpose by advocating for women’s empowerment across various industries and promoting community spirit. As the event returns to Jacksonville Beach, it promises to deliver an electrifying weekend filled with strong competition and celebration of women’s achievements in sports and beyond.
