Kookfest

KOOKFEST IS BACK, FAM.

The stoke is real. We’re heading back to the Baler lineup for four days of salty hair, heavy bass, and pure island magic. Whether you’re a seasoned charger, a total kook, or just here for the sunset grooves, the water is warm and the vibes are unmatched.

The Lowdown:

Morning: Chase the glass and catch some peaks.
Daytime: Get lost in the art, hit the community fair, and soak up the energy.
Sundown: We trade the boards for the beat. Full-on raves until the stars come out.

The Essentials:

What: Surf / Rave / Arts / Community
When: March 4–7
Where: Baler, Aurora

No ego, no pressure, just the crew. Grab your sticks, round up your favorite humans, and let’s make some core memories.

See you there!
