Ever needed a legitimate excuse to go surfing? Today you finally have it: International Surfing Day. Created by SURFING Magazine, this unofficial, official surfers’ holiday gives you a chance to promote and celebrate the sport while bringing awareness to the state of our oceans and beaches.
The goal is simple: take the day, or at least a part of the day, to go out, catch a wave or three and — while you’re at it — help clean up your favorite beach. In conjunction with the Surfrider Foundation, SURFING Magazine will be organizing a handful of official beach cleanups, but that doesn’t stop you from beautifying your own stretch of sand. They even have challenges, (i.e. ‘Most Unique Piece of Trash’), with some great prizes!
SURFING Magazine will be documenting this day as thoroughly as possible. Not only will they be assigning key regions around the globe to their team of expert photographers, they’re depending on YOU to show them how it all went down in your backyard. You can email them your highlights — both in words and photos — from International Surfing Day.

Being that it’s the start of the Summer Solstice means getting wet longer on the longest day of the year! Big Smiles & Happy Surfing!
