ESSC stands for “Eastern SUP Surf Circuit” and I was stoked to be able to attend the finals competition for the 2016-2017 season here at Jensen Beach's Walton Rocks Beach. The conditions were great with 3'-4' of clean waves with light off-shore winds most of the day. The SUP-Surf community here in Florida is awesome, you just can't meet a greater group of ocean loving like minded friendly people anywhere!
The best part of the ESSC is it is all about giving back-
Per the ESSC official website "The goal and purpose of the ESSC since the very beginning has been to promote competitive SUP surfing and provide an exciting environment for the riders of this booming sport to compete. Alongside that we are stoked to be working with The Ride Nature Organization as the beneficiary of the ESSC as we are working to provide awareness and financial support to the work that they are doing. Ride Nature is a 501(c)3 non-profit Christian organization based out of Naples, FL that is working to provide children worldwide the opportunities to surf and skate. While they are leading international trips all year long to the Truth and bring boards to kids living in 3rd world countries we want to encourage you to check out their site and support the work that they are doing!
