Super Girl Festival Lights Up Virginia Beach with Winners, Music and She Is A 10 Energy
Event Date: September 5-7
Virginia Beach felt electric this past weekend as the Super Girl Festival took over the city’s three-mile boardwalk for the first time, bringing together elite women’s surf, skate culture, live music, local art, vendors, families, and thousands of fans for three packed days of action.
Held Sept. 5 through Sept. 7, the free festival gave the Oceanfront a new kind of spotlight. It was loud, colorful, athletic, creative, and full of the kind of community energy that makes a weekend feel bigger than an event schedule.
And yes, She’s A 10 was in attendance, soaking up the confidence, beauty, support, sports, and sisterhood that ran through every part of the festival.

Virginia Beach welcomed Super Girl in a big way
For its Virginia Beach debut, Super Girl Festival did not ease in quietly.
The boardwalk became a full weekend celebration of women’s action sports and culture, centered around the world’s largest women’s surf competition. Competitors and spectators filled the Oceanfront, giving the city a fresh coastal sports moment that felt right at home beside the Atlantic.
The setting mattered. Virginia Beach already has a strong mix of beach life, public art, music, vendors, outdoor events, sports tourism, and creative districts. Super Girl added a new layer to that identity by placing women’s athletic talent at the center of the weekend.
The festival also connected naturally with the energy of the ViBe Creative District, where murals, sculptures, galleries, and independent businesses continue to shape the city’s creative voice. With two dozen new murals set to be unveiled this year, the area’s art scene is growing in a way that complements big cultural events like this one.
Super Girl did more than bring a competition to town. It gave Virginia Beach a stage for movement, self-expression, and community pride.
The surf competition brought serious talent to the Oceanfront
The surf competition was the heart of the weekend, and the level of skill in the water gave fans plenty to cheer for.
Across the event, athletes showed why Super Girl has become such an important platform for women in surf. Heat after heat, competitors handled changing conditions, chased strong waves, and brought the kind of focus that only comes from years in the water.
The official event results and winners are listed by Super Girl at supergirlsurfpro.com/2026-results, including the updated placements from the weekend’s surf competition. That official results page is the best place to check the full winners list, final standings, heats, and division details.
What stood out on the beach was not only who made the podium. It was the way young fans watched those athletes.
Little girls stood near the sand with surfboards under their arms. Parents pointed toward the break. Friends screamed from the shoreline when a rider connected with a clean wave. Every strong ride felt like proof that women’s sports belong in the biggest spaces, with the biggest crowds, and with the same energy given to any major athletic event.
That is part of what makes Super Girl powerful. It celebrates winning, but it also celebrates showing up. It makes room for the rising competitor, the returning pro, the young fan, and the person who came for the music but left inspired by the athletes.
Super Girl Festival Lights Up Virginia Beach with Winners, Music and She Is A 10 Energy because the weekend felt like a full-circle celebration of confidence, performance, and possibility.

She Is A 10 brought beauty, confidence, and community to the weekend.
She Is A 10 Media/Blog being in attendance fit the moment perfectly.
The festival’s message matched the spirit of the brand: confidence is not one thing. It can look like dropping into a wave, lacing up skates, singing along in a crowd, supporting a friend, or walking through the boardwalk knowing you belong there.
That energy was everywhere.
Super Girl created space for athletic excellence, but it also created space for wellness, beauty, self-worth, and connection. There were fans who came for surf, people who came for music, families who came to spend the day outside, and local creatives who came to be part of a wider cultural moment.
For She Is A 10, the weekend was a reminder that beauty is strongest when it is connected to self-belief. It is the glow that comes after trying something hard. It is the joy of cheering for another woman. It is the confidence of taking up space in a sport, a crowd, a city, or a community.
That made the festival more than a stop on the calendar. It became a living example of women supporting women across different lanes.
Surf. Skate. Music. Art. Style. Wellness. Friendship.
All of it belonged.

The music lineup turned the boardwalk into a festival stage
The sports brought the adrenaline, and the music kept the weekend moving.
Super Girl packed the Oceanfront with live performances from major artists and rising names, including Switchfoot, Lupe Fiasco, Anora, B.o.B., Hannah Wicklund, and many more. The lineup gave the festival range, moving from rock to hip-hop to soulful guitar-driven sets and high-energy crowd moments.
Switchfoot brought the kind of anthemic sound that works perfectly near the ocean, with songs that made the crowd lift their voices and stay locked in. Lupe Fiasco gave the weekend lyrical weight and stage presence, pulling fans into a performance that felt sharp and memorable. B.o.B. brought familiar hits and a party feel that kept the boardwalk moving.
Hannah Wicklund added a powerful rock edge, with guitar work and vocals that matched the bold tone of the festival. Anora and other performers helped round out the lineup, giving attendees plenty to discover between surf heats, skate sessions, vendor stops, and walks along the beach.
The best part was how naturally the music fit into the larger mission of the event. This was not just background entertainment. The performances helped build the shared mood of the weekend.
People danced in sandy shoes. Friends gathered near the stages after watching heats in the water. Families drifted between vendors and live sets. The boardwalk had constant movement, but the music gave everyone a reason to pause and enjoy the moment.

The skate portion brought Roll N Vibez energy to Super Girl
One of the weekend’s standout additions was the skate portion, led by Virginia’s own Jacqueline Wallace-Ritchie of RBRO and Roll N Vibez.
Jacqueline is an event producer and skate creator with deep roots in the local skate community, and her presence gave the festival an authentic Virginia connection. She brought the Roll N Vibez spirit to Super Girl, creating a skate experience that celebrated movement, style, rhythm, and confidence.
The skate portion was not treated as an afterthought. It had its own pulse.
Experienced skaters came in from out of town, adding range and skill to the sessions. The energy reflected the kind of skate culture Jacqueline has helped build, one rooted in community, creativity, and shared motion. The out-of-town skaters and Roll N Vibez energy were highlighted in this Instagram reel: watch the reel.
Skate at Super Girl added something special because it showed a different version of athletic expression. Surfing meets the ocean. Skating meets the pavement. Both require balance, timing, courage, and a willingness to fall and get back up.
That message landed beautifully at a festival built around women’s confidence.
The skaters brought flair, control, personality, and a sense of joy. They showed that action sports are not just about competition. They are also about style, rhythm, self-trust, and community.
And with Jacqueline Wallace-Ritchie helping lead that portion, Virginia Beach had one of its own shaping the weekend from the inside. Another honorable mention to Suffolks own Dwight James CEO of Golden Lux Arena who is also running for Suffolk city council. These two were the backbone to the VB Skate portion of Super Girl Surf skate

Vendors, murals, and the creative side of Virginia Beach added color
Beyond the competitions and concerts, the festival made space for local flavor.
Vendors lined the event areas with food, apparel, art, wellness goods, and festival finds. That vendor scene helped turn the weekend into a full-day experience, not just a come-watch-and-leave event.
The city’s creative identity also showed through. Virginia Beach has been building a stronger reputation for public art, especially through the ViBe Creative District. Its multicolored murals, sculptures, and creative spaces have become part of the city’s personality.
With two dozen new murals set to be unveiled this year, the timing of Super Girl felt fitting. The event matched the direction Virginia Beach has been moving in: more public culture, more walkable art, more reasons to gather, and more ways for locals and visitors to experience the city beyond the sand.
Super Girl added to that story by bringing in a crowd that cared about sport, style, music, and self-expression.
Events like this matter because they create a bridge between visitors and the local community. A family might come for the surf competition, then discover a mural walk. A music fan might arrive for a concert, then explore local vendors. A young athlete might see a pro surfer or skilled skater and leave with a new goal.
That kind of cross-pollination gives a city momentum.

The weekend’s real win was confidence
The official winners deserve their flowers, and the full results page gives fans the score-by-score details. https://supergirlsurfpro.com/2026-results/ the larger win of the weekend was the atmosphere Super Girl created.
It felt supportive without being soft. Competitive without being cold. Stylish without being shallow. Big enough to draw thousands, but personal enough for people to feel connected.
That balance is not easy to create.
Super Girl pulled it off because the weekend had a clear message: women’s sports deserve space, attention, investment, and celebration. At the same time, the festival made room for beauty, creativity, music, skating, art, and wellness.
That mix matters.
Confidence is built in different ways. Sometimes it comes from winning a heat. Sometimes it comes from trying a new trick. Sometimes it comes from seeing someone who looks like you take the stage, paddle out, or roll into a crowd with total self-belief.
She Is A 10’s presence at the festival carried that same message. Confidence and beauty are not separate from strength. They can grow from it.

Virginia Beach proved it can host a major women’s action sports moment
This first Super Girl Festival on the Virginia Beach boardwalk felt like more than a successful weekend. It felt like a sign of what the city can keep building.
The Oceanfront handled a major free event with sports, music, vendors, and spectators spread across multiple days. The setting gave athletes a beautiful stage. The crowd brought support. Local culture added texture. The music lineup gave the weekend star power. The skate portion brought homegrown leadership through Jacqueline Wallace-Ritchie and Roll N Vibez.
Most of all, the festival gave women and girls a place to be seen at full volume.
That is why the weekend mattered.
People will remember the winners. They will remember the performances. They will remember the boardwalk packed with fans, the murals nearby, the music carrying over the sand, and the athletes pushing themselves in the water and on wheels.
They will also remember how it felt.
Super Girl Festival brought confidence, beauty, support, sports, community, and joy to Virginia Beach. With She Is A 10 in attendance, the weekend’s message was clear from the shoreline to the stage: when women show up for themselves and each other, the whole city feels it.
