Activities in Newport Beach for International Surfing Day

Press Release:

WHAT:  Get ready to paddle out and celebrate surfing during the 7th Annual International Surfing Day on June 20th. Founded by the Surfrider Foundation and SURFING Magazine, and sponsored by Barefoot Wine, International Surfing Day unites surfers worldwide, and encourages ocean enthusiasts, no matter where they live, to give back by participating in a local Surfrider Foundation event.

In addition to giving back by volunteering their time, people can also join or renew their membership to the Surfrider Foundation by participating in a special ISD membership drive.

This year, for $25, new or renewing members will receive a limited edition ISD t- shirt, one-year subscription to SURFING Magazine and a bar of all-natural surf wax.

For those looking to go big, they can join or renew at the $100 level and receive all the great premiums listed above, along with a pair of Dragon E.C.O. Sunglasses.

WHO:  Join the Surfrider Foundation Global HQ and SURFING Magazine as they take over the Rusty House in Newport Beach. The morning will kick off with breakfast and coffee, followed by a surf session. Then join us for lunch provided by Daphne’s California Greek, followed by grabbing a glove and bag to participate in a beach cleanup hosted by the Surfrider Foundation.

Confirmed professional surfers in attendance include Dion Agius, Dane Zaun, Alex Smith and Damien Fahrenfort.

WHEN:  Monday, June 20 from 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

WHERE: The Rusty House 5007 River Ave. Newport Beach, CA 92663
