Swatch Nines Surf & Skate 2026

This October, Swatch Nines returns to Waco Surf in Texas for the third and final stop of the 2026 Nines session, transforming the venue into a cultural epicenter of board sports. For the first time, skateboarding takes its place as an official discipline, joining surfing and BMX in a celebration that blurs boundaries and redefines what’s possible. Running from 8 to 10 October, the event builds on the stoke of previous editions, raising the bar with a custom‑built course shaped in collaboration with Swatch Proteam athletes Coco Ho, Noah Beschen, Gustavo Ribeiro, and Kevin Peraza.

The setup itself is a manifesto of innovation: iconic favorites like the Flying‑O return alongside the longest surf rail and the largest skate park in Nines history. Modular features and unique rails unlock endless possibilities, embodying the “Pool as a studio” concept — a blank canvas where riders experiment, innovate, and create moments destined to be remembered. As Coco Ho reflects, “We’ve learned so much and are using the experience to dream up even more magical moments that can be captured, shared, and remembered forever.” With a roster of world‑class athletes across surfing, skateboarding, and BMX, Swatch Nines 2026 becomes more than a competition — it is a living archive of board culture, a place where gravity, creativity, and community converge.
