It's almost that time of year! Once again the Black Surfers Collective, The Surf Bus Foundation, Surfrider Foundation, and other groups will offer a day of beach activities and free surf lessons to commemorate the life of Nick Gabaldon (1927 - 1951). Nick was the first documented surfer of African-American and Mexican descent, at the historical African American beach site, sometimes formerly called the "Inkwell". Gabaldon’s legacy has inspired many surfers of color and many consider him as a role model. We welcome you to join us on this special day.

Surf lessons begin at 9:00 am and end at 1:00 pm.

You must sign up to get a lesson so fill out the form on the Event Facebook Page
