Cowabunga! The Surfrider
Foundation's 14th annual International Surfing Day is June 15th, a
special day to celebrate the beach.
This year's theme "Protect
& Enjoy" encourages everyone to head out to the beach and join in the
celebration.
Catch some waves, clean the beach,
do yoga, listen to music, learn about ways to protect the environment.
There will be up to 200 events
worldwide in more than 30 countries. In coastal communities across the U.S.,
Europe, Asia, South America, Down Under and wherever surfers follow the waves.
SurfWriter Girls Sunny Magdaug and
Patti Kishel can't wait to see everyone in Huntington Beach, CA – Surf City,
USA.
Home of Jan and Dean's iconic song,
HB celebrates ISD in a BIG way. It's even in the Guinness World Records Book.
For its Epic Big Board Ride
with 66 riders on a 42-foot-long surfboard...
and largest paddle out – 511 surfers
together in a Surfing Circle of Honor.
This year, with Volcom
sponsoring ISD, there will be a lot going on.
Surf and paddle board
demonstrations, surf industry displays, a beach cleanup, yoga led by Haus of
Show and music by award-winning Rawhide Productions! Plus,
delicious healthy breakfast foods, coffee & kombucha.
“Part of the beauty of International
Surfing Day is that people everywhere can celebrate and give back," says
Surfrider Huntington/Seal Beach Chapter Coordinator Tony Soriano. "ISD is
as big as you make it."
Given all the joy this sport of
Hawaiian kings brings to the world, International Surfing Day is the perfect
way to give thanks and share the stoke.
So, let's make it
a BIG one!
