Gig Thingy 1 was held at Winston's Beach Club in OB, a.k.a the only bar in SD that would let our group in for three hours... Music was provided by Jamm, a local band containing four certified homies.

On Earth Day, 2024, Après Surf Club and C4B cleaned up Tourmaline and the rest of Pacific Beach, in San Diego, to give back to our local waters and oceans at large. Over 50 volunteers showed up, showing just how much we care about this stuff.

Is getting full usage out of the foamie here. Whether its a big, barreling hurricane swell on Coronado, or slow moving mountains at Tourmo, Iz rips it.

Synonymous with the terms 'church' and 'watering hole,' Tourmaline is the bellwether of the Pacific Beach surf community. The break has been surfed since the 1930s, and it was America's first "Surfing Park." Consequently, the place is laden with surf history and culture.  

Après Surf Club is both proud and grateful to call this break home. Our mission to maintain this legendary surf spot and to give back to the community it so selflessly built, is never ending.
