Slyde Handboard Competition | San Clemente Pier 

June 23, 2018

Powered by Slyde Handboards, the competition took place on Saturday, June 23, 2018, in San Clemente, California. All proceeds from the event went to A Walk on Water, Surf therapy through guided surf instruction for children with special needs.  The specific location is just South Of the Pier, offering some of the widest stretches of beach along the SC coastline, and a fun handboarding break.  San Clemente the “Spanish Village by the Sea” is an icon to the easy-going Southern California beach life, now has a new wave of watersports lovers whomping down the coastline, handboarders.

People set aside work, puppies, family chores, and traveled from as far as Tahiti to spend a day at the beach.  As an offshoot of bodysurfing, the contest drew over 50 competitors and a crowd of over 200 waveriding enthusiast excitedly watched. 

Proof Eyewear was a proud sponsor of this event, and through our donation and those of additional sponsors, this event was able to raise an additional $1,100 during the raffle for A Walk on Water.
