Surfers have flocked to Galveston beaches since the heyday of Texas Surfing in the late 60’s and we are excited to build upon this rich heritage.
La Izquierda is a longboard surf event that celebrates style and promotes stoke in the Texas surf community.
The format of the event is based off the Eddie Aikau Invitational.
Each surfer will surf 2 heats. The top two scoring waves in each heat will make up their total score.
The leading participants in the Men’s and Women’s divisions will go on to surf a final to wrap up the day.
There will no doubt be some awesome prize packages. Last year Women’s and Men’s took home equal cash prizes of $1000. La Izquierda has also sent past participants on all inclusive trips to Costa Rica and El Salvador. We’ll see what’s in store for this year!
