California’s coast is under threat. Here’s what you can do to protect it.

This year’s One Ocean Gala is fast approaching! There is still an opportunity to join us on August 8th at The Crow’s Nest in Montauk, New York.

Great wine starts with great stewardship. 🌊🍷 At Surfrider, we love spotlighting the people behind our purpose-driven brand partnerships.

What a summer! 🌊🎶💙 22 Surfrider chapters hit the road with @jackjohnson SURFILMUSIC tour — meeting fans, sharing our mission, and growing our volunteer network at every stop. We couldn’t think of a better place to engage with our community.

Three high school clubs. Three mangrove nurseries. A first for Surfrider. 🌱🤙

Beach Cleanup Data Uncovers the Dirty Truth About Plastic Pollution 📊🌊

Protect what moves you.

Not all “eco-friendly” straws are created equally. This Plastic Free July, we’re going deeper than the label. We sat down with Dr. Bryan James, a materials engineer and Assistant Professor at Northeastern University, to learn about the science behind the straw.

To everyone who joined us at a beach cleanup on July 5th: THANK YOU. 🙌 On the dirtiest beach day of the year, our nationwide network of volunteers showed up for the ocean. 💙

Seize the garden! 🌱🌊 The Cape & Island Chapters just broke ground on “CARPE DIEM” — an ocean-friendly garden in Orleans, MA. This wave-shaped native plant terrace garden is designed to naturally filter runoff, reduce erosion, and protect clean water at nearby Nauset Beach.

Happy Fourth of July! As we celebrate 250 years of this country, we're reminded that from sea to shining sea, America’s oceans, waves, and beaches are worth protecting. Enjoy the fireworks, the beach time, and the celebration.

Weekend plan: enjoy our beaches and also keep them clean 💙

As we enjoy the sunshine and celebrate at our beaches and waterways today, let’s remember it is also our responsibility to protect these special places and treat our friend, the ocean, with respect. 💙

Lindamar was radiating last weekend. 🌊💖 Hosted by @queersurf, with support from @surfridersf, the 4th Annual Queer Surf Switch Exhibition brought queer, trans, and non-binary surfers together for a community celebration and good waves in Pacifica, CA.

Did you know that the day after the 4th of July is the dirtiest beach day of the year? Firework debris. Plastic cups. Broken chairs. Food wrappers. Single-use waste. It all gets buried in the sand or washes into the ocean.
