2.4M
SAScenes from Slamarack 2025 last night. Once a year, hundreds of groms take over Tamarack Beach in Carlsbad for a bit of controlled chaos. Soft tops, rafts, inner tubes, kiddie pools—anything that floats is fair game. When the swell reaches just the right height, everyone attempts to ride a party wave to shore. (Key word: attempts.) The result is like a live blooper reel. Boards take flight like paper airplanes. Surfers get put through a spin cycle and do involuntary cartwheels. Someone somewhere plays a vuvuzela to announce the next wave. Pandemonium of the best kind.
Were you at Slamarack? And if so, on a scale of one to overripe banana, how bruised are you? Sound off in the comments.
