If you’ve ever thought about joining an OUTHEBACK Surf Club event, let us take you back to one of our best days yet. On August 24th, 2024, we teamed up with Island Water Sports in Deerfield Beach for an unforgettable day of surfing, beach vibes, and community. Whether you surf all the time or just wanting to catch your first wave, this was the perfect place to be.
STARTING THE DAY
The morning kicked off with us setting up our OUTHEBACK van right in front of Island Water Sports—it was pretty hard to miss! With surfboards from Island Water Sports and @surfboardtradingco (huge thanks to Brandon!) lined up outside, it was our meeting point for the day and is the case at our other event!
Our friend Jules (@ajcoastal) joined us too, bringing her amazing towel dresses and ponchos to sell. Her cozy, beachy vibes matched the event perfectly. People started arriving, checking out the boards and chatting with the crew while we waited for everyone to show up.
Once we had a good crowd, we took a big group photo by the van—because, of course, you’ve got to capture those pre-surf stoke vibes!
TIME TO SURF
We all made our way to the beach together, boards in hand, ready to start surfing. Our OUTHEBACK tent was set up on the beach, and with boards provided by Island Water Sports and @surfboardtradingco, no one was left out.
Beginners had the best time learning to surf, with coaches and some of our more experienced friends helping everyone out in the water. Seeing someone stand up on a wave for the first time? Pure magic. The ocean was filled with so many of our friends, new comers and surfers having a great time!
Onshore, our photographers were snapping photos of everything—surfing, beach hangouts, and the kind of moments that remind you why you love being by the ocean. Meanwhile, Chris, our videographer, captured the entire day on video that you can now watch on Youtube!
AFTERNOON VIBES
After a few hours of catching waves, we regrouped for another big photo on the beach—this time with that post-surf glow. Then it was time to head back to Island Water Sports, where the vibe shifted to a laid-back beachside market.
When we got back, vendors had set up some amazing pop-up shops. Jules (@ajcoastal) had her towel dresses on display, Paris (@voyagebyparis) brought her stunning handmade jewelry, and a few other creatives joined the lineup. People shopped, chatted, and hung out by the boards that were still set up outside Island Water Sports—perfect for snapping a few last pics to remember the day.
WHAT MADE IT SPECIAL
The best part of the event? The people. Whether you came to surf, shop, or just soak up the good vibes, it was all about connecting with others and sharing the stoke. Beginners got to learn how to surf (for free!), experienced surfers shared tips, and everyone left with new friends and great memories.
This event wasn’t just about surfing—it was about creating a space where everyone felt welcome. That’s what OUTHEBACK is all about: building a community that loves the ocean, adventure, and hanging out with good people.
