"An event with a vibe all it's own, Surfercross truly embodies "speed, style, and good times" - Tying together the stylings of a motocross race and a surf competition, Surfercross is all about throwing your leg over a bike and paddling out. No winners, no losers, just two days of sun, dirt and some waves." - Fasthosue

Words from Austin himself
"Born and raised on the Central Coast (San Luis Obispo county) and recently moved down to LA to pursue a new career. Been a pro surfer for around 5-6 years now and competed all around the world on the QS. Hadn't ridden in about 2 years and just got another stock Honda 450 about a month ago and only had about 2 rides in before Surfercross! Last time I raced on a bike was 2019 Surfercross and placed 2nd my first year doing it. Lots of big names where there this year and dudes I look up to so I knew I had to put everything I had into every race/heat. Thankful I got teammate who also became a good friend after those two days who also wanted the win just as bad!" - Austin

...and Arturo Salas
"I'm from Mexico, Tecate Tijuana, living in San Diego. Currently score offroad world champion in Baja. Made my own team and won the Baja 500. I rode a KTM 450xcf 2023 built for offroad. I've only surfed around three times prior to this event, and I rode some solid waves to get enough points. Everyone was the hardest competition due to the fact that everyone was so good at there pro sport. I haven't raced a motocross since 2015 but I've been a pro offroad racer since 2020." Arturo
