Celebrate International Surfing Day on Friday 20 June 2014

On June 20th, beach goers and surfers from around the world will come together to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Surfrider Foundation’s International Surfing Day.

We encourage you to get involved to celebrate your love of surfing and give back to our coasts. Check out our recent interview with Jack Johnson on giving back to our coasts here!

International Surfing Day is one day a year for you to give back to your ocean playground! Support Surfrider and help us protect your ocean waves and beaches for future generations to enjoy.

How can you be part of it? Join us at one of our International Surfing Day events, or host your own fundraising event!

Your fundraising event can be huge, small, simple or outrageous – it’s up to you! Invite 10 friends or 100. Hold it at home, at the beach, a café, a restaurant or in the park. Have a BBQ, breakfast feast, party, beach clean-up, surf competition or movie night, get creative! Here’s a few fun-raising ideas if you’d like to hold your own event.

When your event finishes, simply go to the website and you can donate the proceeds of your event.

Are you a business? If you or your mate own a business support Surfrider on International Surfing Day! Ask customers for a small donation, hold a raffle, sponsor Surfrider with a profit percentage on the day. There are plenty of ways for your businesses to get involved Click here for more information. All funds raised will support Surfrider to continue protecting the oceans and beaches we all love and enjoy. Simply go to the website and you can donate the proceeds of your event.

Surfrider is a grassroots organisation and we’d love to see our local supporters getting involved and celebrating International Surfing Day!
