Atlantic Park Surf Dream Team Challenge to Light Up Virginia Beach

Atlantic Park Surf will host its inaugural Dream Team Challenge on April 18. Presented by Wiseguy Pizza, the community-driven team challenge will see 15 teams compete for a $2,000 grand prize and bragging rights as the ultimate “dream team.”

Each team will include four surfers competing in designated categories: ages 8 to 15, women, ages 45 and older, and a wildcard division. Competitors will earn points within their divisions, and the top performers will advance to a final round to determine the overall winner.

Participating surf shops include 17th Street, Heritage, Quiet Storm, Real Watersports, WRV, Pungo Board House, Atlantic Park Surf Club, and Wiseguy Pizza. Retail vendors will be present during the event. The event is made possible by Wiseguy Pizza with support from Pungo Realty and additional sponsors.

Each team, comprised of representatives from local and regional surf shops, will consist of four surfers in the following categories: The Grom (ages 8-15), The Gal (a lady shredder), The Geezer (ages 45+) and The G (a wildcard slot). Each surfer will compete within their respective division to accumulate points for their team. The four divisional winners will then surf in the finals for the opportunity to win the prize purse.

Doors open at 2 p.m., with competition beginning at 3 p.m. Finals are scheduled for 7 p.m., followed by an awards presentation and live music.

“Atlantic Park Surf is incredibly excited to invite regional surf shops and community teams to compete and celebrate the best of East Coast surf culture,” said Nate Stevens, general manager at Atlantic Park Surf. “Our team takes immense pride in creating events and contests like the Dream Team Challenge to build lasting connections throughout our community.”
