Town honors local surfer with parade after winning world title
CAROLINA BEACH, NC (WWAY) — The Town of Carolina Beach will honor one of its residents with a parade next month after winning a world title in surfing with Team USA.
Carolina Beach native Tony Silvagni is a well-known name not only on Pleasure Island but across the world-wide surfing community.
Silvagni, along with three other members of Team USA, won gold at the 2018 ISA World Longboard Surfing Championship at Riyue Bay in Hainan, China. Silvagni owns a surf school in Carolina Beach.
Carolina Beach Mayor Joe Benson says the parade will be on Saturday, March 24 from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. and that more details will be announced in the coming weeks.
