PHOTOS | 2025 Shaka Gnar “Best Day Ever” Recap
Shaka Gnar 2025 was by far the best year ever. There were generous sponsors and amazing team leaders running six different events throughout the whole day. There was a sandcastle competition, a paddleboard relay race, a beach sprint (called beach flags), a mural competition, a skim board competition, and a best trick skateboard competition on an inflatable mini ramp. There was so much to see and do throughout the whole day, including live music, delicious barbecue, and a silent auction.
