The world's supreme Watercraft Freeriders and Watercraft Racers are descending once again to the ocean beaches of Pacific City, Oregon for this year's top USA personal watercraft surf event, which combines the second round of the IFWA Freeride World Championship Tour with the IJSBA Freeride World Cup and Motosurf Western Championship.
The Blowsion Surfslam presented by Jetinetics is held at Tierra Del Mar Beach access located just north of Pacific City, Oregon and is free to the public. The Surf Slam brings over 75 top professional and amateur competitors from around the world competing for a cash purse and points towards the IFWA World title, and competing for the 5th Annual IJSBA Freeride World Cup.
Joining them will be some of the finest PWC racers exhibiting unreal high speed turns and jumps through a grueling race buoy course while being confronted by the Pacific Coast's always unpredictable wave sets.Pro and Amateur Freeride competitors will compete in a head to head double elimination format. A panel of professional judges will score them based on 50% for their wave surfing, and 50% for their aerial maneuvers.
The IJSBA, in its support for the IFWA, will award the winner of this round with the IJSBA Freeride World Cup. The infamous Oregon Pacific Coast surf will launch freeride competitors over 20+ feet in the air while performing surf combinations featuring multiple rotation backflips, Madonna rolls, Superman backflips, Nac-Nac’s, inverted barrel rolls, floaters, look backs, aerial re-entries and no handed landings.
