• Did you say snowboarding on the beach? Sign me up.


    Snow fiends, rejoice….if you live in California, you shall see snow in the month of September. If you’re like me…you’re antsy as shit. Summer is dying down, then comes that pointless season, Fall, where all you do is run around your house in your outerwear, watch last season’s snow videos/this year’s teasers, and stalk outside video premieres just to simply live vicariously through the screen.

    Well – I’m not promising winter early but I am promising a crap ton of snow dumped on to Venice Beach, CA on September 6th. Have the snow gods answered my prayers and brought snowflakes to Los Angeles, you ask? Hate to break it to ya but…no. It’s the 3rd Annual Supergirl Jam – an all female action sports competition presented by ASA Entertainment aiming to inspire and recognize all the bad ass chicks out there. The Supergirl Jam is represented by a Host Committee of 4 “actionistas” (is that a word?) that act as spokespersons for the event and is made up of Lauren Perkins, the 2008 Supergirl Jam Skate Champ, Chanelle Sladics, world class snowboarder, 7 time X Games Gold Medalist, Fabiola da Silva, and surfer Kassia Meador.

    It begins this weekend, August 15-16th in Oceanside, CA where the surf portion of the contest goes down, the Supergirl Pro Junior. From there, it cruises up to Tehachapi, CA (props to you if you know where that even is, I just Google mapped it) to Woodward West (North America’s leading action sports camp) where they will host the Supergirl Pro-Am Jam skate street competition where the top female amateur skater will advance to the last stop in Venice Beach, CA. Here comes the part about the massive amounts of snow.

    On September 6th in Venice Beach, a few steps away from Muscle Beach mind you, 80,000 pounds of snow will be dumped on the beach for the women’s snowboard rail jam. Also, temporary ramps will be brought in specifically for the SuperGirl skate competition that will also be taking place. Top athletes will be swarming the scene including the likes of Chanelle Sladics, Raewyn Reid, Desiree Melancon, and Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins. This day is going to be a good day. I’m going to get my fix of snow in September, I get to keep my summer tan, and I get to check out some Muscle Beach eye candy (hah).

    Basically, if you’re in the area, stop by and show these ladies support. It’s going to be rad. C’mon; it’s the best of both seasonal worlds! What have you got to lose? I know you’re itching for winter, even if it’s only for a day.
