Hurley Presents the 10th Annual Switchfoot Bro-Am

Popular surf, skate and beach wear company Hurley is once again joining forces with rock band Switchfoot for the 10th annual Switchfoot Bro-Am; July 12th, 2014 in sunny Encinitas, California. Bro-Am is a free, all day event featuring a surfing competition, hysterical surf-jousting and plenty of awesome rock music right on Moonlight Beach. Financial donations secure spots for corporate surf teams and beach vendors sell food and merchandise throughout the festival, with all proceeds raised going to helping homeless and at-risk kids and teens in the San Diego area through the Switchfoot Bro-Am Foundation.

The day begins early with mind-blowing surf maneuvers performed by each of the four-person surf teams. Past competitors have included teams from Encinitas Firefighters, Surf Ride, Billabong, Macbeth, Switchfoot and of course, Hurley. Beach-goers can find themselves face to face with the guys from Switchfoot or hanging with surfing icons like Tom Curren, Timmy Curran or Dylan Graves.

Pro-surfer Rob Machado will also be there, shredding the line with his team from the Rob Machado Foundation and loaning out his boards for youth under the age of 16 to ride in the Rob Machado Bro Junior. Clothing donations secure spots for the kids and, while they are all winners, prizes are awarded to the boys and girls having the most fun on Machado’s boards.

Hurley will also make a presence promoting their water conservation and clean-water program, H2O; working to assure that clean drinking water is available to people all over the world. Hurley and Switchfoot ask that everyone bring a reusable water bottle or purchase one of the Hurley H2O stainless steel water bottles and fill up for free at the H2O water station.
