Surf Nation is proud to announce a new partnership with Goal Side Media (GSM), a leading video production company dedicated to helping athletes showcase their game through professional highlights and creative storytelling. This collaboration will provide exclusive, Surf-branded highlight packages for players across the Surf Nation network — offering families and athletes professional-quality videos designed to enhance college recruiting, personal branding, and player exposure.
The partnership will officially launch in December 2025, with availability for Surf players across all Surf Nation clubs in early 2026. Surf players will receive exclusive discounted rates and priority access to Goal Side Media’s production team. As part of the partnership, Goal Side Media will serve as the official video partner of Surf Nation, creating consistent, high-quality video products that align with Surf’s visual identity. Every video will include Surf branding, customized intros and outros, and cross-platform collaboration across both organizations’ social channels. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to reinvesting in the Surf community and enhancing player opportunities across the country.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Goal Side Media to give our players access to professional highlight videos that showcase their journey in a Surf-branded environment,” said Gary Curneen, Surf Nation Director of Football. “In today’s game, video is not just a tool for recruiting — it’s part of a player’s identity. This partnership will help our athletes tell their stories, connect with college coaches, and elevate the Surf brand on every screen.”
“Goal Side Media was built by athletes, for athletes. Partnering with Surf Nation allows us to bring that same passion, creativity, and purpose to one of the most respected youth soccer organizations in the country,” said Marisa Snee, Founder of Goal Side Media. “As both a Division I athlete and creator, I know how powerful storytelling can be for athletes. This partnership gives Surf players access to professional tools that help them showcase their talent, connect with coaches, and build their personal brand in a way that feels true to who they are.”
Through the partnership, Goal Side Media will offer three exclusive Surf packages — Basic, Standard, and Premium — each tailored to different levels of service and footage review. All packages include Surf-branded visuals, guaranteed social media posting, and direct collaboration tags with Surf Nation, regional Surf clubs, and the athletes themselves. This initiative expands Surf Nation’s continued investment in player development and recruiting support while strengthening digital engagement and storytelling across its
nationwide network.
