“The Beach Belongs to Everyone.”

HONOLULU, HAWAII – Every day, the Surfrider Foundation and its 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. 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.

Be part of this inclusive community and join HIC, Billabong, and Surfrider this year at Kewalo Basin Park on Saturday, June 19th, from 9:30 am to 11:30 am to kick off International Surfing Day. Those wishing to participate should pre-register at: bit.ly/isd2021

“Mahalo to Hawaiian Island Creations and Billabong for their continued support of the Surfrider Foundation and its initiatives to protect our ocean, waves and beaches. This month, Billabong Womens has launched its We Sea Change initiative which ensures that all Billabong product that touches the ocean is now eco-conscious.”

Friends of Kewalos will be on site with an informational tent to share their mission to protect, preserve and take care of Kewalo Basin Park and the surrounding shoreline and ocean, to ensure that the recreational user will continue to have access and the ability to enjoy the area for future generations to come.
