Embrace the 80s Surf Culture at Carlsbad State Beach

On June 11, 2025, Carlsbad State Beach will transform into a vibrant celebration of surf culture as Awaken Entertainment kicks off the filming of a new TV series centered around a nostalgic 1980s Pro/Am surf competition. This unique event is not just about filming; it’s a call to action for Southern California residents to immerse themselves in the golden age of surfing, complete with the authentic vibe of that era.

Awaken Entertainment has designed this production to capture the essence of surf culture from the 1980s, a time when surf competitions were at their peak. From vintage surfboards to professional surfers sporting period-accurate attire, the aim is to create an atmosphere that pays homage to the surf scene of that legendary decade. The filming is set to take place between 11:30 AM and 2:30 PM, and community members are invited to be a part of the experience, suggesting that anyone can come, engage, and even make it onto the screen!

In addition to the film crew capturing the action, the day will feature a community celebration atmosphere with plenty of perks for attendees. Free pizza and snacks will be provided, ensuring that beachgoers can enjoy refreshments while soaking up the fun. Attendees can also wear their best 80s attire to truly get into the spirit of the day and enhance the filming experience. Families, surf enthusiasts, and anyone simply wanting to enjoy a day at the beach are encouraged to bring their beach chairs and revel in the nostalgic atmosphere.

A representative from Awaken Entertainment stated, "We’re not just filming a show — we’re celebrating San Diego surf culture. This is a love letter to our coast, our people, and the wave-riding legacy that shaped generations.” The aim is to capture not only the visual aesthetics of the surf culture but also to celebrate the local community’s involvement in that rich history.

As part of the filming, those who participate could be featured in the actual series, making this not just an event to observe but a chance to become part of a larger narrative about surf culture. So whether you're an avid surfer, a local resident, or simply someone who loves the beach, your presence is more than welcome, and you might even spot yourself on TV in the future!

Moreover, media representatives are warmly invited to this event, with opportunities available for behind-the-scenes access and interviews with cast members, crew, and professional surfers involved in the production.
