About the show

A stage with bright lights and an audience seated in front, with the words 'Surf Trivia' in large orange letters in the foreground. The 'Surf Trivia' logo.

Imagine Jeopardy for surfing except there's only two rounds- No Final Jeopardy (because no one likes the Finals, Ha!). Highest point total wins, but don't answer incorrectly, points will be subtracted! 

There will be 3 contestants for each show. You don't have to be an expert to play, but it helps to have a well rounded knowledge of surfing. Categories will be less about stats and more about surf knowledge and experience.  

Season 1 is scheduled to start shooting in late October. Each 'Surf Trivia' episode will take roughly one hour to record. 

Winners will receive an Old Surf Dad prize pack and knowledge that they are trivia legends. Winners will battle it out in later seasons to determine the Core Lord Grand Master Legend.  

Registration is below.
