HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A Great Day in the Stoke (AGDITS) Presented by Lexus has officially announced its 2025 sponsor line-up for the fourth annual celebration of surf, culture and community. Taking place on September 27 in Surf City USA, the trailblazing festival is the largest gathering of Black surfers in history, amplifying Black surf talent from around the world and champions a more inclusive future in the water.

Open to all and free to attend, AGDITS showcases athletic excellence and elevating elite Black surfers, who have historically remained vastly underrepresented at the highest levels of the sport. The festival also promotes water safety to combat disproportionately high drowning rates rooted in generational barriers to water access, while highlighting wellness, education and cultural connection through immersive and engaging brand experiences that elevate the fan experience.

"We couldn't do it without our partners," said Nathan Fluellen, founder of A Great Day in the Stoke.
