Surfrider Foundation Oahu Chapter

About Me

The Surfrider Foundation is a grassroots, non-profit, environmental organization that works to protect our oceans, waves, and beaches through Conservation, Activism, Research and Education (CARE). What makes Surfrider Foundation unique is its membership made up of surfers, swimmers, divers, bodyboarders, kayakers and beach enthusiasts from all walks of life. Surfrider Foundation members have proven to be powerful spokespeople and caretakers of the ocean environment which they treasure. The Oahu Chapter strives to preserve public beach access, clean water quality, and maximum enjoyment of some of the most famous waves on the planet. So if you live in or like to visit the birthplace of modern surfing, we hope you will get involved with our chapter.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

It is only though our supporters that the Surfrider Foundation can fight the battles that face our oceans, waves and beaches. When you donate, join or renew your membership, you are helping the Surfrider Foundation confront water pollution, beach access, beach loss and other serious concerns facing your beach. Surfrider relies on the people who work for it, locally at the chapter level and at the National Office in San Clemente, CA. Almost everyone at Surfrider is a non-paid volunteer, except for fewer than 20 full-time, modestly paid staff members at the National Office. Surfrider Foundation's unique membership includes ocean enthusiasts of all sorts: Surfers, bodysurfers, bodyboarders, windsurfers, swimmers, divers, beachcombers and ocean-loving families from all walks of life. If you're interested in becoming a member, go to www.surfrider.org/join or call 1-800-743-SURF.
