The World Surf League (WSL) QS3000 U.S. Air Force Super Girl Surf Pro returns to the Jacksonville Beach Pier and SeaWalk Pavilion this weekend, Nov. 11-13. While the world’s leading female surfers compete in the water, free concerts from major headliners, women’s sports competitions and a festival village entertain festivalgoers on land at the SeaWalk Pavilion.
All events are free and open to the public.
The line-up begins at noon Saturday and features pop star Kira Kosarin at 4:15 p.m., local favorites The Band Be Easy at 5:30 p.m., The Expendables at 7:15 p.m. and Smash Mouth closing the evening at 8:45 p.m.
Fans know Smash Mouth from their hits like “Walking on the Sun” and “All Star,” while The Expendables bring their own eclectic style to reggae-rock and are a huge crowd favorite in Jacksonville.
The event concludes Sunday with six more concerts headlined by shows from Gainesville-based Less Than Jake at 5:15 p.m. and reggae legend Matisyahu at 6:45 p.m.
Each of the Super Girl events are centered around providing athletic, social, cultural, educational and entertainment opportunities for young women in traditionally male-dominated industries. The Jacksonville Beach event includes an all-female DJ competition on the main stage, 2-4 p.m. Saturday. Eight of the best female DJs will take the stage to entertain the crowds and compete in a head-to-head, bracket-style battle. This includes Jacksonville-based DJs Grace Seymour (aka G$) and Kristen Theriault (aka Suga K).
The entertainment also includes female comediennes, a women’s skateboarding competition and an entire festival village with free classes in fitness, yoga, Zumba, Pilates, wellness and dance; a video gaming lounge with a $5,800 open Rocket League Tournament; female skydiving; speakers and panel discussions; full tournaments in women’s beach volleyball, women’s beach soccer and women’s beach lacrosse; a beer garden; 14 food trucks; a military appreciation lounge; and more.
