Wahines of the Waves Presents the Barrels for Boobs Surf Contest

The Wahines of the Waves is a University of Florida student organization focused on empowering women in the world of board sports. From surfing to skating, the Wahines of the Waves works to celebrate female friendships through the love of these sports. As the club grew, they decided to start giving back to the community.

Cue the birth of the Barrels for Boobs surf contest. Beginning in 2014, this event holds the mission of supporting those affected by breast cancer. The annual Barrels for Boobs contest includes surf competitions, fundraising parties, raffles, and giveaways, all aimed at raising money for local cancer research. In its 7 years, Barrels for Boobs has raised over $17,000 for the Breast Cancer Foundation and St. Augustine’s own Pink Up the Pace.

This year’s Barrels for Boobs surf contest will be held March 26, 2022. The event kicks off at 9 a.m. with an afterparty held at the Crescent Beach Bar & Grill with a live band and drink specials.
