Timmy Curran reports on the funnest event in North County

This past weekend I was invited to play and surf in the 5th Annual Switchfoot Bro Am in Encinitas. I was blown away at how much it has grown since I played it 2 years ago. The Bro Am is a benefit that gives money to Stand Up For Kids, which is a foundation for homeless kids in the San Diego area.

It was the perfect beach day weekend with head high+ surf, sunshine and the water was almost as warm as Bali. Those guys all surf so good and it was a pleasure to be on their team. The surf contest is really exciting because it is a 4 man team event and each team has 30 min to go out and catch 1 good wave, and then catch another decent wave switchfoot. It's hilarious watching everyone catch waves switchfoot and try and get a score, I know my 2 switchfoot waves in our heats were not so easy on the eyes.

In the middle of our heat I was called to go on stage and play my set which only is possible at the Bro Am. I don't think I have ever been still wet from surfing a heat while playing a show in front of thousands of people. It was such a great event and I was honored be a part of such a great day that is giving back to the community and the homeless. — Timmy
