The Brooklyn Cyclones' Surf Squad auditions took place in early February, aiming to select 20 members from 40 hopefuls. Led by Abbie Molhoek, the auditions included dancing, activities, and interviews. The judges prioritize candidates who are extroverted and can effectively engage the crowd, highlighting the importance of an energetic presence for the team's entertainment role. Data analyst Casey Wu experienced challenges during auditions, particularly in the dance portion, reflecting the diverse backgrounds of participants entering the entertainment field.
"They're engaging the crowd, hyping them up, they're greeting them at the gates," so judges are looking for people who stand out on multiple levels.
"It's a little overwhelming, first of all, being the only guy here. Also, I have no background in dance whatsoever so going into the dancing kind of threw me off a little bit."
