I’d like to take a minute to recognize the ladies who hit the half-pipes. This weekend, the second S3 Supergirl Championships will grace the shores of Huntington Beach in San Diego. It is the largest girls-only action sports event, celebrating the Big Three board sports: surf, skate, and snow. (Yes, there will be snow in San Diego. They are trucking the white stuff in from the mountains and giving the ladies some jumps and rails to shred on their boards.) To top it off, they’re even inviting some all-female bands to rock the event.

As a snowboarder who had the privilege to tear up the slopes with some very skilled (and not to mention totally bad***) female riders on the East Coast, I’m psyched to see the women’s action sports scene thriving in the West. These women are not just some of the best female athletes in board sports; they are some of the greatest athletes around.

And to get you pumped for the event, here’s a sweet vid of skater Vanessa Torres, who will be competing at the event.
