The Surf Shop Challenge
The Surf Shop Challenge is one of the most beloved traditions of the tournament — and it's part of the main event, not a separate competition. Of the 25 foursomes in the field, 5 spots are reserved exclusively for Florida surf shops, giving them the chance to compete head-to-head for ultimate bragging rights within the overall tournament. Every golfer plays the same course, the same format, the same day — the surf shops just have a little extra pride on the line.
The rivalry is real, the competition is fierce, and the pride is everything.
Past Champions
| Year | Champion |
|---|---|
| Year 1 | Nomad Surf Shop |
| Year 2 | Catalyst Surf Shop |
| Year 3 | Blueline Surf Shop (Defending Champions) |
Will Blueline defend their title in Year 4, or will a new challenger rise to claim the crown? The surf shop pride is on the line.

Sponsorship Opportunities
Put your brand in front of 100 passionate golfers and the entire Florida surf community. We have three exclusive sponsorship opportunities available — and they won't last long!
Golf Flag Sponsor — $500
(18 available — one per hole)
Get your name or company brand displayed on the flag at a tee box on every one of our 18 holes. Every single golfer will see your brand all day long as they move through the course. A high-visibility opportunity for businesses of all sizes — local surf shops, restaurants, real estate, and more.
18 flags. 18 chances to own a hole. First come, first served.
Longest Drive Sponsor — $750
(1 available — exclusive)
Put your brand at the hole where the big hitters compete! Your company signage is displayed at the Longest Drive tee box all day. As each competitor tries to out-drive the field, a marker is moved further and further down the fairway — creating live, all-day excitement with your brand front and center.
The Longest Drive winner is announced at the awards ceremony with full recognition — and your company name gets called out right along with them. One sponsor. One hole. All the glory.
Closest to the Pin Sponsor — $750
(1 available — exclusive)
Sponsor the shot everyone's gunning for! On one of our par 3 holes, your brand is displayed at the tee box as players compete to stick their shot as close to the pin as possible. A volunteer measures each attempt, and the closest shot wins — with your company recognized front and center at the awards ceremony announcement.
It's a crowd favorite, a natural gathering point, and a guaranteed spotlight moment for your brand.
