The Swatch Nines Surf event will make its highly anticipated return to Waco Surf, Texas, from June 23–25, 2025. After a successful debut in 2024, this year’s event promises an even bigger, more immersive celebration of action sports, blending skateboarding, surfing, and BMX in a custom-designed, rider-driven experience.
Swatch Nines Surf is known for pushing the boundaries of conventional competition by focusing not on contests but on progression and creativity. The event gathers elite athletes from across the globe to collaborate on designing the ultimate playground for action sports enthusiasts. This year’s setup is a product of a collaborative workshop earlier in the year, where athletes—including surfers, skaters, and BMX riders—worked together to create an innovative course with no limits.
“We’ve been dreaming up this concept for months,” said a spokesperson for the Nines. “The idea was to bring together the best of these sports in a way that hasn’t been seen before, and the result is something the riders themselves designed. We’re excited to see it come to life.”
This year’s lineup includes an impressive roster of talent from the worlds of surfing, skateboarding, and BMX. Confirmed participants include some of the top athletes in each sport, promising thrilling sessions throughout the three-day event.
