The event was awesome, it's truly amazing what 25 tons of snow, a nice summer eve, and hundreds of college students will get you. There were a couple 30 minute jam sessions follwed by the finals. Some good boarding went down.

TheNextPro staff was fortunate enough to attend the event where music and art collided. The art show was held in the heart of beautiful San Diego at the Hard Rock hotel. All the procedes from the show went towards helping to fight breast cancer. There was good art, good music, good drinks, and an even better vibe floating around. The slogan, “I love boobies” was seen on all the shirts of the staff members. With a very good turn out the fight against breast cancer continues to play a major role in San Diego culture. With live art by Scotty Shafer and Jason Bennett of Chemistry surfboards, it was hard not to appreciate what was going on. Check out some of the photos of the good time on our events page and until next time… Later
