The New York Chapter will be hitting Rockaway Beach to celebrate International Surf Day this Saturday, June 18 from 10 am to 1 pm. Come stop by our table at Beach 90th Street and hang out. There are other local events that day — the ESA surf contest, a swap meet at Beach 96th and bands as part of Rockstock and Barrels Festival — there’s something for everyone.
10 am Spike Ball — Get your workout done with this fun, volleyball-esque game on the beach.
11 am Beach Clean Up w/ Sprout Watches — We’re picking up the trash before it winds up in the ocean — or animals eat it! The chapter’s “No Butts” campaign continues as New Yorkers are still adjusting to the smoking ban on parks and beaches.
12 — Remarks and give-aways
And there’s lots to do all day. The Eastern Surfing Association’s surf contest starts at 8 am. The application is here. Beach 96th Str. will be pedestrian only and a swap meet will be held from noon to 3:00 pm. And the annual Rockstock and Barrels Festival goes from 10:30 to 3:00 pm.
See you on the beach!
