Boardfest 2006 All-Girl Snowboard
Rail Jam at Huntington Beach Pier
Huntington Beach Pier, CA. ' Boardfest '06 brings an
all-girl snowboard rail jam to the Huntington Beach
Pier on Monday, Sept. 4 with more than 20 tons of
fresh snow. Set atop a custom-built platform,
world-class female riders vie for a $1,000 'best
trick' prize at the inaugural Boardfest Snowboard
Rail Jam. Boardfest is the largest and most unique
all-girl action sport and empowerment experience of
its kind. The surf-skate-snow inspired festival
showcases music, entertainment, fashion and
interactive exhibits along with underlying themes of
health, beauty and fitness from Saturday, Sept. 2
through Monday, Sept. 4 just south of Huntington
Beach's landmark Huntington Beach Pier.
Performing tricks such as the 360 tail slide pretzel
out, boarders launch from a three-story
platform adjacent to the pier and drop approx. 90
degrees onto a 30 foot-long box feature (obstacle).
Practice runs will occur on Sunday morning starting
at approximately 9:00 a.m. The invitation-only
competition begins in earnest on Labor Day at 9:00
a.m. and runs until the snow melts. Awards will be
held later that day on the Boardfest stage at
approximately 4:00 p.m.
The course was designed by Super parX founder Tyrone
Coyne, who has built some of the top freestyle
terrain parks such as The Park at Big Bear Mountain,
West Ridge at Snow Summit and Faultline at Mountain
High.
Sports and music, professional and amateur surfing
and skateboarding competitions featuring
high-caliber women athletes, surfing and
skateboarding clinics, makeovers, education, games,
activities, motivational speakers and attractions
are all included in this fun labor day event for
girls, youth, teens and families to enjoy.
The Boardfest stage will feature live bands, yoga
clinics, dance performers and special guest
appearances. The vast majority of Boardfest is open
to the public free-of-charge.
Boardfest '06 is co-sponsored by Hello Kitty, KTLA
and the all-new CW network.
