On February 19th, 2009, the Osiris Girls Team accomplished every action sports junkie’s dream come true: skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing and wakeboarding, all in one day and in our own backyard!
Osiris Girls team rider, pro wakeboarder and SoCal native Melissa Marquardt proposed the idea to do all the sports in one day and the rest is history.
The only thing better than getting to do all four sports in one day was having the top female athletes from each sport show everyone how it’s done. X-Games Gold medalist skater Karen Jones, Sector 9 soul skater Annie Sullivan, Roxy team rider and ASP World Champion Long- boarder Jen Smith, female wakeskate pioneer Stef Tor, and backcountry pow slayer Vera Janssen made up the crew that took part in “Shred Day 2009″. Filmer Jonathan Villegas, photographer Dan Coronado, along with marketing/team manager Kimberly Woo documented the day, capturing the adventure on film.
The day consisted of everything you’d expect and then some: bathroom breaks every ten minutes, sinkholes on the freeway, hilarious topics of conversation in the car ride, and best of all, epic conditions at each spot. With fresh snow at Mountain High, glassy water at the Carlsbad Lagoon, perfect waves in Pacific Beach and good company at Sector 9′s Bread Bowl, only one word could be used to describe the theme of the day: epic.
Of course getting to do all the sports in one day is fun in itself, but getting inspired by other girls killing it at their sport and then having a blast doing yours is what made this day truly remarkable. After all, having fun riding with your friends is what these sports are really about.

Love hearing stuff like this. My friends and I have always dreamed about getting all of those sports in in one day, and considering I live right by the bay and my roommate has his wakeboarding boat in the driveway, I’m kicking myself for not already having done this.
Great pics though, love seeing stuff like this.
There’s a new Pacific Beach restaurant & food directory that my friend’s buddy is starting up that should have some cool places and discounts on it soon for places in PB.
Check it out when you have a chance.

Thanks for the comment Josh – we have all been wanting to do an all day session like that too!
Have you guys joined the forum? Do you ride the bay often? Would love to hear more about what you guys do.
Checked out the Website too, that’s a pretty cool spot for PB food. Interested in linking to each other?
