Ready for a surf contest with a twist? Grab your foamie and hit the waves at Red Bull Foam Wreckers on Long Beach Island! This anti-surf surf contest has one simple rule: you must ride a soft-top (foam) surfboard! Whether you're competing or cheering from the beach, it's guaranteed to be a day of epic rides, wipeouts, and fun.

LONG BEACH ISLAND — If you’re looking for a surf contest that’s more about fun than form, Red Bull Foam Wreckers is rolling into LBI with a day of wild rides, foamy wipeouts, and pure beach‑day chaos.

Set for Saturday, August 1, 2026, the event takes over 68th Street Beach in Long Beach Island starting at 9:30 AM — and there’s just one rule: you must ride a soft‑top surfboard.

Dubbed the anti‑surf surf contest, Foam Wreckers flips traditional competition on its head. Before each heat, competitors spin the Wheel of Shred to find out which Catch Surf foamie they’ll be ripping on. From there, it’s 15 minutes of creativity, style, and whatever ridiculousness the judges feel like rewarding.

Surf stars Ben Gravy and Blair Conklin will be on the beach and in the water, bringing their signature energy to the Jersey Shore.

Catch Surf is partnering with Red Bull to provide boards, meaning all you need to bring is yourself — and maybe a sense of humor.

After the foam‑filled fun wraps up, the party continues at Bird & Betty’s, where competitors and spectators can keep the good vibes rolling.
