Get ready to catch some waves, even in the middle of the desert. Revel Ruckus is crashing into Mesa’s Revel Surf Park, bringing Arizona’s ultimate blend of surf, skate and music mayhem.

The first day of the event kicks off with athlete jam sessions, a swimsuit fashion show and a VIP pre-party. The next day brings the main event: the Winch Pro Surf Big Air Contest, Huck Dive Show and River League Finals.

You’ll spot action-sports legends like Colby Raha, the seven-time X Games champion and world record holder for his freestyle motocross feats. Joining him are surf stars like Noah Beschen, Blair Conklin and Austin Keen. Plus skate icons such as Omar Hassan and Heimana Reynolds.
