On August 11, we hope that our community will join us in celebrating our hard work to keep our ocean blue by grabbing your favorite floaty and paddling out with us. New to surfing? No worries, we will have surf lessons for all ages! This event will be a morning full of music, surfing, boogie boarding, family games, food, and more!
