NEW YORK, NY  April 10, 2017 – Michelob ULTRA, the superior light beer, announced today that it has become the Official Beer Sponsor of the World Surf League (WSL) in the U.S. Through this new partnership, Michelob ULTRA will be the exclusive beer sponsor of WSL events in the country, including the Vans U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, CA, a marquee stop on both the Men’s Qualifying Series and Women’s Championship Tour that draws more than 700,000 fans over the course of 9 days in late July and early August.

This new partnership is part of Michelob ULTRA’s strategy of driving continued growth by engaging drinkers who embrace and prioritize an active, balanced lifestyle. Michelob ULTRA continues to have a strong presence across various active communities—the sport and culture of surfing is a natural fit for the brand, especially with the WSL serving as the premier platform in this space.

“As our brand continues to gain momentum, our new partnership with the World Surf League will further connect us to those who are passionate about living the active and balanced lifestyle that Michelob ULTRA celebrates,” said Azania Andrews, vice president, Michelob ULTRA.

“We are very excited to welcome Michelob ULTRA to the WSL family,” said Dave Prodan, WSL Spokesperson. “Both our athletes and our fans understand the value of working hard and enjoying life which makes Michelob ULTRA a natural partner as we collaborate to showcase the world's best surfing.”

As part of this new sponsorship, Michelob ULTRA will create VIP hospitality areas and branded-lounges on-site at U.S.-based WSL events, and will host a series of after-parties. Michelob ULTRA will also utilize WSL content across social media channels to further drive excitement among the surfing community—both athletes and fans.
