Welcome to the official recap of the Daydream Open Invitational - a surf non-contest with an expression session format. We have four, 60 minute divisions, $5 buy in, winner takes all. The divisions were goofy formats designed to allow surfers to pick the best surfboard that intersects with their own individual style and the waves that we had to work with for the day. First was the 3 or more fin division followed by the twin fin division, single fin division, and last but not least the finless division.
The ultimate goal is to get a bunch of people from our community together to bring out some good surfing for multiple hours for everyone on land and in the water to enjoy. We refrain from using jerseys as we want the surfers that are participating in this expression session to blend in with the rest of the people in the line up and not be given any special privileges. The judging criteria was based off attitude, style, and skill - a combination of factors that we feel express one being in flow with their environment as well as the waves they are surfing.
We had such a blast and will be doing this more often for sure! If you are interested in joining, keep an eye out for our next event as it is open to the public. We are targeting August 2-3, 2025 for the next Open Invitational.
