Ever needed a legitimate excuse to go surfing? Well, on
June 20, 2009 you finally have it,
International Surfing Day. Created by
Surfing Magazine five years ago, this unofficial, official surfers' holiday gives us a chance to promote and celebrate the sport while bringing awareness to the state of our oceans and beaches. The goal is simple, take the day off or at least part of the day to go out and catch a wave or three and... while you're at it...help cleanup your favorite beach. In conjunction with the
Surfrider Foundation, Surfing Magazine will be organizing a a handful of official beach cleanups. If there isn't an official beach cleanup in your neighborhood don't let it stop you from beautifying your own stretch of sand!
What are you doing tomorrow for
International Surfing Day Saturday 2009? We'll be down in Huntington State Beach (North Side of River Jetties) from 8am to 1pm, along with a number of other surfing enthusiasts! Come down and join us there will be plenty of swag given away, refreshments, surf music, sun, and fun.
Some of the participants setting up tomorrow are:
Foam E-Z,
Future Fins,
Harbour Surfboards,
Van's Shoes,
Katin Surf Shop,
Greek Surfboards,
Surfline,
Monster Energy Drinks,
Surfing Magazine,
The Sierra Club, and many more. So as you can see it will be a great day to kick off the summer.
Hope to see you there!
