Venice Beach, CA – As part of the 4th Annual Supergirl Jam Series, the girls of snowboarding will be throwing down their best tricks surfside in Venice Beach this August.nThe ladies will hit the slopes, made possible by 80,000 pounds of man-made snow that will drop on the beach, to compete in the Snowboarding Rail Jam on August 22. Two-time champion Laurie Currier, of Incline Village, Nev., is expected to defend her title, with former Supergirl Snowboard Rail Jam medalists Chanelle Sladics of nearby Newport Beach, Calif., and Vancouver, Canada’s Leanne Pelosi as well as a host of other top pros determined to thwart a three-peat.

“We are very proud to present the Supergirl Jam for its fourth year,” said Karen McTier, Executive Vice President of Domestic Licensing and Worldwide Marketing, Warner Bros. Consumer Products. “It’s an honor to once again provide an opportunity for these young women to take center stage and be applauded for their talent, dedication and inspiration. These competitors do a great tribute to the iconic Supergirl brand and S-shield emblem by embodying and displaying the strength, independence and empowerment for which they stand.”

In the series, the Supergirl Rail Jam follows this week’s skateboarding jam at Skatelab in Simi Valley, Calif., and the Oceanside Supergirl Pro Junior surfing competition in Oceanside, Calif., Aug. 14. In addition to snowboarding on the beach, the Venice event features 30 of the best skateboarding and inline skating pros competing on a custom-built street course designed to challenge their board and rail skills. Indicative of the Supergirl Jam’s global reach, Rampworx Skate Park in Liverpool, England held the first international qualifier to the Supergirl Jam, with the winners from both Skateboard Street and Inline Street contests invited to compete at Venice Beach. Additional surfing and snowboarding contests in November and December are also being planned and will be announced at a later date.

All of the Supergirl Jam events are free to spectators and expect to play before more than 100,000 fans. CBS, Fox Sports Net (FSN) and FUEL TV will combine to air more than eight hours of national television coverage about the event this fall.
