This years S3 Supergirl Jam is bigger and getter then ever with 3 events going down starting with todays Surf Supergirl Pro Junior in Oceanside, Ca.  A 20 and under competition the event drew out surfing’s elite up and coming surfers including California’’s COurtney Conlogue and Sage Erickson who just recently got back from helping Team US win their first Gold in 13 years at the ISA World Surfing Games in Costa Rica.

The finals took place right after the Oceanside Longboard Surfing Clubs tandem contest.  Tandem surfing is when two surfers a male and female typically catch a wave and the female is hoisted up by the guy into gymnastic type acrobatic moves while riding a wave. Unfortunately the swell size was minimal but they put on a good show!  With sunny skies and a packed crowd the 4 girls in the finals, Courtney Conlogue, Sage Erickson, Malia Manuel, and Nikita Robb made the 2 foot waves look good with vertical snaps and wide spraying cutbacks.  In the end it was Courtney who’s powerful surfing led to one of the highest wave scores of the heat at 7.75. winning $5000 the hugest Junior pro purse in female surfing.  

Next up is the Supergirl Pro-Am Jam Skateboard Street Contest Woodward West August 19th followed up by the Supergirl Jam Snowboard Rail Jam and Skateboard Street Contests, Venice Beach, CA on September 6th.  Check back for more coverage of the rail jam and Click Here for more info on the whole series.
