Looking for some good clean fun? Check out Surfrider's Ohana Day from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday April 18 at the Seal Beach Pier!
Ohana Day, hosted by the Huntington and Seal Beach chapters, is a great opportunity for families to come out for an enjoyable and educational day at the beach while celebrating the 40th anniversary of Earth Day.
This is a free event, and families can take advantage of free surf lessons courtesy of M&M Surf School, interactive information on ocean pollution courtesy of Science 2 U, a recycling demonstration turning milk cartons into treasures, a bodyboarding clinic courtesy of Alternative Surf Bodyboards, skateboard lessons courtesy of Skatedogs, a rescue demonstration by the Seal Beach Lifeguards, live music, a raffle featuring merchandise from a variety of supporting vendors in the beach communities, and more!
Friends and families are encouraged to bring their boards, beach chairs and a picnic lunch to enjoy a fun day at the beach! Kids ages 6-12 years are welcome to participate in the Skatedogs skateboard lesson, needing only a skateboard, helmet and knee/elbow pads along with their parent to sign a release waiver for one of the two sessions (9:30 & 10:15).
Surfrider Foundation H/SB will have plenty of volunteers on hand to talk about simple things we can all do in our own homes to improve water quality at our beaches. Information will be available detailing monthly beach cleanups, ways to reduce single-use plastics consumption, how to make your landscape more "ocean friendly", elementary education opportunities, and opportunities for volunteers to get involved.

See you at the beach!
