Lines in the Sand - A Blog for Surfrider San Diego

The San Diego County coastline is heavily populated in most places. Lines in the sand from beach 'grooming' tractors are more common than nature's beauty, wind driven lines in the sand. Part of that is good because it shows that many people are enjoying our lovely beaches but part of it is bad because it shows we are not taking care of our lovely beaches. That's where Surfrider comes in with a message of CARE - Conservation, Activism, Research and Education. As an organization, sometimes we need to draw lines in the sand on important issues. As a volunteer based organization, Surfrider is you.....so get involved.

16th Annual Paddle for Clean Water


The Paddle For Clean Water and Post Paddle Party are coming!

The Paddle for Clean Water is a non competitive event that consists of hundreds of local beach goers paddling around the Ocean Beach Pier in a joint effort to bring awareness to the pollution problem along San Diego’s coastline. This is a free event, and all ocean enthusiasts are invited to participate. As part of the festivities, there will also be free breakfast for all paddlers, guest speakers, music, a huge raffle and a beach cleanup.

This year there will be a Post Paddle Party, a Festival for Healthy Oceans immediately following the Paddle until 6pm at the Ocean Beach Pier parking lot. The event includes a kids art contest, an art show, dance lessons and great live bands.

August Brings Good Times for Surfrider



Beach Babes Bachelor/ette Benefit this Saturday August 11th at Bar West in PB!
The intent is to create a fun, feel-good event that offers charity-minded men/women the opportunity to meet and make a difference through raising money for the Surfrider Foundation San Diego Chapter. Our event will feature a mix and mingle, during which the bachelor/ettes sport leis/boas for easy identification while floating throughout the crowd pouring champagne for the guests to "break the ice".

The mix and mingle will be followed by a bachelor/ette auction, where dates with some of San Diego's finest men/women will be auctioned off to raise money for the Surfrider Foundation - San Diego Chapter. After the auction, guests are encouraged to stay for music and dancing. 3-6pm (VIP 2-3pm) Check out buymelovebenefits.com for more info.

Many local businesses are Surfrider Retail Members and give both the the environment as well as other Surfrider members. These are stores and shops you may already shop at, but don't know that you could be receiving a discount each time you purchase from them just by showing your Surfrider membership card. Go Here for a complete list of Retail Members so you will know where to shop from now on.
