Two surfers. Five towns. One electric ride. Welcome to the South Bay Surf Showdown — part surf competition, part relay, all in the name of glory.
Local favorite Hunter Jones and NorCal contender Dane Anderson face off in this one-of-a-kind competition. Riding two of Segway’s new Xyber e-bikes, the contestants race more than 11 miles up the coast from Torrance to Playa del Rey, stopping at surfing hotspots along the way to complete increasingly difficult challenges.

(Photo/GearJunkie) No matter what the course holds, the Segway Xyber proves its up to the task thanks to its durable frame, robust 20 x 5-inch tires, 110 mm of front suspension, and 100 mm of rear suspension. The e-bikes 56-mile range lets Jones and Anderson go the distance, while three riding modes — eco, sport, and race — have them covered when every second counts.
From wave snaps and finless 360s to race-walking in wetsuits and a surprising amount of cardio, the showdown is the wholesome, high-quality entertainment we all need. One winner earns bragging rights. One loser walks home. Watch the video to see the chaos unfold and who comes out on top.
