From Surfrider.org/ISD
Every day, the Surfrider Foundation and our network of volunteer activists work to protect our coasts.
On International Surfing Day, we come together and take a moment to celebrate the waves and beaches that we all love.
Surfing is an amazing gift and the beach is an incredible place that should be healthy, safe, and accessible to all people. However, just as our beaches face a number of challenges, so does our society. As surfers and beachgoers alike, it is our responsibility to foster a vibrant, inclusive community that comes together to protect and enjoy this extraordinary resource.
With much uncertainty this year due to COVID-19, we are anticipating that most parts of the world may not be able to participate in large-scale ISD events or even visit the beach. And with that in mind, we have developed some ways you can still celebrate ISD. If you are able to safely visit the beach, we ask that you adhere to all government regulations, including physical distancing and wearing a mask when appropriate.
