Inspired by the Bud Tour of the 1990s, the Bud Light Lime Surf Series strives to foster a participant-influenced competition structure. Its unorthodox format brings together participants from various surf genres around the globe, offering them the chance to compete at least twice before cuts are made following the second round. Additionally, each surfer's top-two scores are counted, regardless of which heat they competed in during opening rounds, allowing them to focus on bettering their own scores as opposed to competing directly against one another.
In addition to the Bud Light Lime Surf Series, Anheuser-Busch's involvement in surfing includes the Bud Light Lime Surf Team - Fred Patacchia, Jr., Serena Brooke, Sean Moody and Benji Weatherley - and annual surf videos, related parties, promotions and activities supporting the team.
