The Gerry Lopez River Surf Invitational brought some of the world’s best river surfers to Lakeside Surf in Chelan, Washington — riding waves 51 feet wide and up to 6 feet tall, set against a backdrop of orchards, vineyards, and the Cascade mountains.

Lightning Visuals supported the production with live broadcast graphics, working alongside our partners at Live Heats to keep every ride, score, and update on screen in real time for fans at the venue and on the live stream.
