LOS ANGELES, Calif./USA (July 25, 2018) - BFGoodrich® Tires has partnered with the World Surf League to become the official tire of the Vans U.S. Open of Surfing July 28 through Aug. 5 in Huntington Beach, Calif. The event is recognized as the largest professional sports competition and action sports festival in the world.
As the official tire of the Vans U.S. Open of Surfing, BFGoodrich will give surfing fans a chance to answer the brand's big question: What are you building for?
Whether conquering extreme off-road trails, getting to remote fishing holes or accessing a surfing spot inaccessible to most, BFGoodrich consumers are always building for their next adventure. At the Vans U.S. Open of Surfing, BFGoodrich will bring a customized garage built for surfing adventures to the shores of Huntington Beach.
The garage will feature surfing accessories and the latest must-have equipment for serious off-road adventure enthusiasts - the BFGoodrich® Mud-Terrain T/A® KM3, an extreme off-road tire with better climbing, traction and toughness in mud and over rock.
"Partnering with the World Surf League is a natural fit for BFGoodrich. The surfing community seeks adventure and performance. They need vehicles and tires that can be depended on to get them wherever their passions lead them, even if it's far off the pavement," said BFGoodrich brand communications director
Spectators at the Vans U.S. Open of Surfing will experience BFGoodrich's surfing garage and possibly take home high-end surfing prizes. Fans who visit the BFGoodrich experience can use an interactive social media exhibit to create unique content for their social media channels and register to win daily prizes such as surf boards and board shorts.
