The Wahines are back and they’re bringing more boards and more sisterhood than ever before to the iconic surf spot, the Washout, for the 23rd Annual Folly Beach Wahine Classic, hosted Saturday, July 26 - Sunday, July 27. Registration information will be released soon.
The longest-running women’s surf competition on the East Coast, and the only one of its kind in South Carolina, brings together a vibrant lineup of surfers of all ages and abilities. Drawing 250 surfers and their families, friends, and supporters from across the nation, the Folly Wahine is more than just a surf competition. It’s a celebration of the strength of surfer women (wahines) through a fun weekend of surf competition, girl power, and camaraderie. The competition is free to attend, and spectators are encouraged to cheer on the Wahines.
Event donations support a wave of local ocean-based organizations, including Warrior Surf, Surfers Healing, Waves 4 Women, She’s On Edge, Charleston Surfrider, Lowcountry Marine Mammal Network, and more.
