Project Save Our Surf is dedicated to the conservation of our oceans, fresh water and the delicate marine ecosystems that reside therein. We believe that through education, awareness outreach and involvement that we can generate significant change on our planet.

Every 2nd Saturday of the month we are in Santa Monica Beach hosting a monthly beach clean up. In the past we have hosted many from Los Angeles county to Santa Barbara. We want to get more permanent monthly beach clean ups on the schedule. Fundraising will help cover the costs of tents, buckets, trash bags, gloves, food, and training for our volunteers.

While our initial focus was on cleaning up the oceans, we expanded our fight for clean water to include something that should never be a luxury — access to safe water. We have traveled to the Philippines and Vietnam to provide water filters for those without access, so they can be healthy and thrive.

We plan to return to provide additional filters and ensure that the filters we have provided are still in place helping the community. Additionally, we are coordinating a trip to Flint, Michigan to help with domestic water issues, as well. We have largely been a self funded organization since 2008 and our capital campaign goal will help fund these projects and the future initiatives as we aim to creae lasting change for our environment and those that depend on its cleanliness for the most basic of human needs. Please join us in this mission!

This week's hurricane hypebeast is Hurricane Kiko, you'll start to hear about this one in all the upcoming surf forecasts for all of California. All the sites need click-bait, and what better way for surf sites to get visits than hyping up any hope of a good swell (we're guilty of it, but at least we admit it, Surflies won't).

Anyways, Kiko isn't going to bring a significant swell, it doesn't have the size and is not on the track for Socal. It will bring "rideable S to SSW" to Socal spots.

The Tony Alva Story will be featured at the Other Venice Film Festival on Oct. 5th.

The OVFF is a nonprofit community event dedicated to screening full- length features, short and animated films that embody the spirit, energy and diversity of Venice, California. Filmmakers descended on Venice for two days of film screenings, premieres, sell out crowds, spirited Q&A sessions, panel discussions, local art on display and parties with live music.

The Tony Alva Story
61-years-old Alva, the oldest professional, skateboarder in the world, is considered by many to be the godfather of modern day skateboarding. Alva’s brand of aggression and bravado in the 70’s set the stage for the way skateboarding would be forever defined.

Vans’ The Tony Alva Story chronicles T.A.’s humble beginnings on the streets of Santa Monica to his rise to superstardom as part of the legendary Z-Boys, his inevitable drug-induced implosion and his ultimate rise from the ashes to accept his rightful place as a beacon of hope and inspiration for generations of skateboarders the world over.

Also they will be showing:

Surfing With Sugar

The two have since become local legends inspiring visitors and locals with their abilities in the waves and their special relationship.His path to healing came in an unlikely form meeting and rescuing a street dog and future surfing partner Sugar.

Thursday night at the The Waterfront Venice we’re hosting a party/premiere for Stab x Vans Surf's new film, “Go Easy on the Zambezi” — an adventure deep into the heart of Sub-Saharan Africa in search of a river wave that offers rides longer than the most toned thighs can bare and, more importantly, tubes! It stars Dylan Graves, Harry Bryant and Michael February. If you're in the area we encourage you to come by, enjoy a libation or brew and watch the film (playing at 8PM). Mr. Graves will be joining us. Welcome to the Zambezi River. Don’t forget to pack your quiver!

Surfing has long been a key component of California culture. In 2018, the California Legislature declared surfing the official state sport and named Sept. 20 as California Surfing Day.

So this Friday is the second California Surfing Day, which means....... use the hashtag #CaliforniaSurfingDay on your Instagram and twitter posts on Friday. Because other than a big group photo and surf session all the way down in Oceanside, there is no events happening California Surfing Day. Maybe some shops will have some sales or something.

From Visit California"
"Please join Visit California in taking part in celebrating the Golden State’s famed surf culture on Sept. 20. A number of resources have been developed for businesses and destinations to help spread the word in your local communities, including social media imagery and posts, an official logo and more.
