Clean the Beach Solo Style
Written by SurfWriter Girls Sunny Magdaug and Patti Kishel
The Surfrider Foundation Huntington/Seal Beach chapter is asking everyone to Splash It Forward in 2021 by making a splash video and donation to Surfrider to support its environmental causes.
The proceeds from this year's annual Huntington Beach New Year's Day Surf City Splash, with everyone running into the ocean to celebrate the new year, were designated to go to Surfrider.
But with public events on hold, instead of the ocean plunge, the Splash has gone virtual. To join in, just video yourself making a splash: jumping into the ocean or a pool, getting squirted by a hose, any way you want. Then post the video on your social media and tag it #SplashItForward.
After that, make a donation and ask your friends to do the same (even a small one helps) at splashitforward.com.
Even though we can't get together for beach cleanups yet, Surfrider encourages you to do a #SoloBeachCleanup whenever you can, helping to keep the beach clean and sharing the stoke by tagging @hsbsurfrider on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
It's more important than ever to support organizations that are doing positive things. Splash It Forward and Solo Beach Cleanups let you do that...and still stay safe.
SurfWriter Girls wish everyone a healthy and happy 2021
