Pistol River Jump Off

The first mainland event will be held in conjunction with the Pistol River Wave Bash, June 17-20 at Gold Beach. Competitors have elimination heats for three measured metrics: 1) highest stock air, 2) highest forward loop and 3) highest backloop. Jumps must be landed to count. Final heat winners will walk away with $200 cash for each metric. Pending at least three entries, there will be a single-elimination women’s heat with the highest jump taking home at least $200.
