    SURFjam

    An all-female wakesurf event to inspire and empower women and girls of all ages to Get Out, Get Active and Get Connected - to ourselves, others and our community while experiencing the amazing power that the outdoors and being on the water offers our mind, spirit and soul.


    This event is for all levels of riders: for those who want to learn the sport and be helped and supported by other women to those that already have a love of wakesurfing and want to share the ride with others. Includes top level wakesurf boats, equipment, female coaching ambassador, food and drinks afterwards.


    Both SURF and PADDLEjam are held in honor and memory of two amazing, impactful and fearless women, Travis County first responders Kristin McLain and Jessica Hollis, both of whom committed their lives to serving others while utilizing the water and outdoors for their own positive mental and physical wellness impact.  All proceeds raised from this event will go towards positive mental health impact for first responders through outdoors and on the water experiences and healing opportunities.

    Additional New Formats This Year!

     

    • All New! Learn to Paddle! Guided Group Beginner Paddle! No previous paddle skills necessary! Your designated Paddle Ambassador will assist, coach and be with you and your group the entire time to encourage and support you! You will start with board skills and drills and basics right on the beach then head into the lake - seated, on your knees or on your feet - no right, wrong or judgement! We’re here for fun and community. Your ambassador will be with the group to assist the entire time with no specific distance for these groups - just good times together and on the water with group consensus when to float, paddle, go and return.


    • All New! Paddle 5.5 Miles to Jessica Hollis Park! Our all new 5.5 Jessica Hollis Park One Way Paddle will enable you to get to Jessica’s park, have a mimosa, spend some time reflecting, connecting, floating and honoring in the beautiful shadows of Mansfield Dam. We’ll transport your board back for you and you get a boat ride back to the start point and after party.


    • Paddle Ambassadors every mile!


    • All New! Multiple sponsored Snack Stops at designated mile markers to keep you moving and motivated! Can you say chocolate, cookies, cold brew coffee and more?! 


    • 11 Mile Dam Distance Paddle! Those of you wanting to paddle the full distance of approximately 11 miles to Mansfield Dam and Jessica Hollis Park can enjoy a quick mimosa and turn around to return to the starting point by 11:30. If you’re falling behind, don’t worry - our tow boats and personal watercraft are prepared and instructed to help you along so everyone is safe and sound at the finish by 11:30.
