Friday April 22, 2011 The Surf club met up at Goldenwest Street in Huntington Beach for one of their biggest events all year, the Red bull Switchboard event. The Red bull Switchboard is an event sponsored by Red bull. The Sponsor brought out professional surfer Jamie O’Brian to meet up at the beach and surf with the club members at Cal State University, Long Beach. “It was a typical beach day turn out but with a professional surfer hanging out with us, it was so sick” explained Rey Liang a club member since freshman year of college.  Red bull also provided the surf club with tons of demo surfboards for the club to test ride and give feedback, along with breakfast burritos for a lunch treat. “I think it’s a surfer thing, but breakfast burritos after a good surf session, no matter what time of day are always the best.” Liang explained as he stuffed his face with eggs and bacon wrapped in a tortilla.  After a few hours at the beach Red Bull stuffed the whole club in a special Red bull bus and took the club to big bear to go snowboarding for the rest of the day. The sponsor paid for everything including lift tickets, food and the bus ride. “ It was so much fun, we got to snowboard with the whole Red bull team and surf with Jamie O’Brian, its just one of those special days that I wont ever forget. It was such a great opportunity and I’m so glad I got to be a part of it.” Treasurer Emily Bates explained when she got back into Long Beach that night.
