Event recap coming soon....
April 2024
We kicked off our Moneyball Series with a men's & women's Mixer, followed by DUPR 6,7, and 8+ Team battles. Sponsored by Pescavore and West Peak Spirits, over 160 players participated in this event to support Veteran Surf Alliance -- our goal is to get more veterans on the courts enjoying pickleball! It was great to have a super fun event plus pay out over $2000 in cash right back to the players, along with other prizes. See photos & more here.
March 2024
Our 2nd Pickleball Players' Night at Santa Cruz Warriors' Kaiser Permanente Arena, with 40-50 picklers turnout out at each event. Following soe pre-game happy hours at Big Basin Vineyards & Abbott Square, we loved getting close up with the SeaDubs courtside and hanging in our our own group section. We scored free t-shirts, cheered at our special welcome on the scoreboard, and got treated to free Penny Ice Creamery cones, courtesy of the Dubs surpassing the 100 point mark in each game vs the South Bay Lakers (LA Lakers' G-league affiliate) and the Texas Legends (Dallas Mavericks' affiliate).

October 2023
The Santa Cruz & Monterey pickleball communities really enjoyed having the fierce Newman siblings in town. It was great to learn some distinct Riley Newman shots like his shovel shot and get tips on his 2-handed backhand, to seeing his pancake grip live and benefiting from some of his doubles strategies. Lindsey was a total hoot as a fun-loving, but tough drill seargeant. We loved the Takeya water bottles & so many personal stories.
A group us really enjoyed seeing Riley in full competitoe mode at the following December 2023 PPA San Clemente!
November 2023
Four-time Spikeball World Champion Preston Bies came back into town and fired up a series of jam-packed clinic days with us in Santa Cruz and Monterey. The always-entertaining, multi-sport athlete help addressed many of our crowd's biomechanics and footwork. We loved his insights on other top pickleball pros he's worked with, Pickleball getways anecdotes, as well as his own journey on the pro circuit.
Stay tuned for his next few stops through Northern California!
