Surfrider hosts hundreds of beach cleanups nationwide every year. These cleanups are great for the environment and great for volunteers that can earn community service credit and make new friends. Picking up litter from the beach and nearby areas is important because it's ugly and can impact wildlife that we love. Surfrider collects data from cleanups to identify the top sources of litter and find solutions to prevent litter at the source. Over Earth Day weekend Surfrider Chapters in Southern California hosted 9 beach cleanups with 1,394 volunteers that picked up 4,524 pounds of litter off the beach.

Venice Beach with the Surfrider West LA/Malibu Chapter and longtime supporters Aveda. 75 people volunteered and collected 150 lbs of litter!

All weekend long! $50 off all surfboards in stock! New and used!

American Airlines has responded to thier destroying of Alex Gray's Surfboards.

"I give them two thumbs up!" said Gray, "American Airlines will reimburse ALL damaged Channel Islands Surfboards and the On A Mission Surfboard Bag. They are also returning the excess baggage fee. The airlines was apologetic while acknowledging their negligence, and agrees the boards were most likely run over. I'd like to commend AA for handling this situation appropriately. Most of all I'd like to thank all of YOU for your engagement. It's amazing to see the positive side of social media bring like-minded people together in stance of a fair result. Moving forward, I am positive the reply to this circumstance will hold as the example for all surfers in the future. Again thank you all. Let's get ready for more surf adventures."
