In front of a huge crowd gathered along the Venice Beach boardwalk in Southern California, Incline Village snowboarder Laurie Currier captured her third Snowboard Rail Jam title at the fifth annual Supergirl Jam on Aug. 22.

The event series — touted as the action sports industry's largest all-female competition and lifestyle festival — featured more than 100 professional athletes in surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding disciplines.

Set against a palm tree-lined backdrop, beachgoers were treated to some of the world's best female snowboarders as they battled it out on a 28-foot-tall, man-made mountain packed with 80,000 pounds of snow.

Danyale Patterson attempted to defend her title against a tough field of competitors, none of whom were more capable than Currier. The Incline Village resident stood out above the competition, landing clutch tricks like ollying over a narrow, 3-foot steel down bar to execute a hardway 180 to switch 50-50 to regular.

The performance earned Currier her third Supergirl Rail Jam title and the first-place check. Patterson and Desiree Melancon rounded out the podium in second and third, respectively.

“Having snowboarding on the beach makes this such a cool event and so different from every contest out there,” Currier said of the event. “It's my fourth Supergirl Jam. I've made the podium every time, and this one put me back on top in first place. The Supergirl contest takes everything I love and puts it into one amazing event.”

The Supergirl Jam series will broadcast nationally in October with three hours of coverage on FOX Sports Net (FSN) and five hours on FUEL TV. For more information about the Supergirl Jam, go to www.supergirljam.com.
