Pacific Beach, California — The Revolt SURF SKATE SNOW Pro Am, by Revolt In Style Magazine in association with the Ultimate Boarder™ Championship, will provide the ultimate proving grounds for the future generation of action sports heroes. Three different board sports. Nine separate events, held over 9 months. Designed to gather the finest athletes around, to compete individually and on teams, in the 4th Annual Ultimate Boarder™ Championship in March 2011. Individual's, men’s, women’s and youth teams will all be represented.
Here's the deal! The surf divisions that qualify for the Ultimate Boarder™ teams (each made up of one surfer, one skateboarder & one snowboarder) are: Pro-AM division (3 spots), Juniors and Groms (1 spot), and Womens Open (1 spot). For the team qualification, points will be ranked just like a normal surf series (with 1000 to first and going down from there). So make your heats and be at the top of your class!!! If you qualify for the UB event, you will be teamed up with other qualifiers from their respective disciplines. If a rider makes it on a team, they will not have to pay entry fees, travel or hotel stays (if applicable). Oh yeah, and they will have a shot at a $20,000 prize purse for the team divisions! Plus, national television exposure and a chance to ride with some of the top surf, skate and snow athletes in the World!!!
Also, there is the Individual Division! This challenges an athlete in all three disciplines (surf, skate, snow). If you think you are good at all three, then now is your time to qualify! We will be taking 10 qualifying spots. The way it works is surfers for Individual Qualifying will be given two fifteen minute heats to get two scoring rides. NO elimination, NO pressure!!! Just go out, be patient and get the best waves possible! Scores will be added after the two surfs. The surfer with the highest two wave point total at the end of the day will get paid 50% of all the entry fees for the Individual Qualifier Division!! Now this is important and awesome! Over the course of the 3 qualifying surf events you can replace up to one score per event. For example, if you got two 4's in the first qualifying event you can try to replace one of those score in the following event. So, there are plenty of opportunities to secure a position in the Ultimate Boarder Championship and a shot at a $50,000 prize purse!
The Revolt SURF SKATE SNOW Pro Am events are open to the public and anyone can compete. Athletes can compete in all 3 series or just the sport of their choice.
