Official Statement
RPM Racing Enterprises is announcing a change to the 6th Annual Huntington Beach Moto-Surf and Freeride, scheduled for May 3 & 4, 2025. After receiving information a few months ago, from several sources that I deem credible, that attendance at this year’s event, will again, be trending down and contemplating what to do to the rectify the situation it became apparent that regardless, the costs to produce this event will continue to increase. I had been approached, for the past several years, to produce a standalone freeride event and after much discussion with the City for a 2nd event date it was clear the City was unable to accommodate this request so I was faced with the dilemma. As costs to produce continue to skyrocket and sponsorship for the event continues to dwindle this coupled with projected lower attendance the choice was to continue passing along the increases to the racers, which I knew was not going to be well received, or work with the Freeride group to get the necessary sponsorship to defray the costs to produce an event or give up the event in it’s entirety. Please know I did not want to cancel the event in its entirety. The Freeride group went out and solicited sponsorship from within its community and so in the end I made the difficult choice to change the format for 2025 from a Moto-Surf & Freeride Exhibition to a standalone Freeride event. Please know I am committed to bringing back a Moto-Surf event in the future but for 2025 the event will transition to a Freeride only event.
The Best of the West Series event will change its date to September 12, 13 & 14 at San Diego Bayfair at Mission Bay in San Diego. This event will be in conjunction with Bayfair which regularly sees attendance number of over 20,000 spectators. This is the biggest watersports racing event on the West Coast. The event has great accommodations for the racers and Bayfair is genuinely excited to have PWC closed course racing back as part of their event.  This event is part of the Best of the West – Lake Havasu Watercross Series Championship.  RPM wishes to thank Ally & Nick Giles for helping facilitate the addition to Bayfair.
In closing, I know some will be upset by this change to the schedule and for that I deeply apologize but I do believe that Bayfair will be a great venue to race at and showcase our sport in front of the largest amount of spectators.
