Video: Extreme Freeriding in Ixtapa, Mexico

Playa El Palmar, located in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo is well known for it’s popular surf destinations. Trocones, Saladita, and Ixtapa host many of the beaches where prime surfing breaks are located. Great waves are usually on hand and the area is plenty of fun with its many attractions in addition to surfing. Throw in a massive freestyle jet skiing event and your adventure is complete.

If this area of Mexico wasn’t already known as a high performance jet ski mecca, it is now. We have the first Monster Energy Freeride Series Ixtapa Zihuatanejo 2017 to thank for bringing freestyle skiing to the forefront of Ixtapa. The event was held November 17-19 and was wildly successful. Waves showed up for 30 of the best riders in the world and some incredible high performance freestyle riding was on display for all to see. The camaraderie between riders was amazing with positive vibes all around.

Everyone, including spectators, was so excited and seemed to have the best time of their lives. The event was radical and the locals were stoked to have this elaborate show in town. Abraham Hoschstrasser was probably the most stoked because he won the event.

The final results of the Monster Energy Freeride Series Ixtapa Zihuatanejo are located here. Check out this edit and you’ll see what all the excitement is about! The adrenaline rush is real! Dates and details for the 2018 event are in the works! We can’t wait.
