The Surfrider Foundation Huntington/Seal Beach Chapter will host Ohana “Family” Day on Sunday, April 14 at the Seal Beach Pier from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Ohana Day will be a fun-filled, family beach day hosted by the Surfrider Foundation (www.hsbsurfrider.org).
It’s a chance for everyone to come out for an enjoyable and educational day at the beach. Surfrider will have plenty of volunteers on hand to talk about simple things that can be done at home to improve water quality at beaches.
In addition there will be free surf lessons courtesy of M&M Surf School, free marine biology lessons, interactive information on ocean and surf related group tables, a body boarding clinic courtesy of Alternative Surf, lifeguard try-outs, Surfrider programs and a beach cleanup. There will also be music and a raffle that will feature merchandise from a variety of supporting local businesses.
Friends and families are encouraged to bring their boards, beach chairs and a picnic lunch.
Surfrider will share its environmental programs that the chapter has developed. These include beach cleanups, water quality testing, creating ocean-friendly gardens, and the Education and Rise Above Plastic program, which aims to reduce litter on streets and beaches.
Ohana Day is a great opportunity to get involved. The event will be held at the Seal Beach Pier, with parking at the 8th street beach lot.
The Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of oceans, waves and beaches. Founded in 1984 by a handful of visionary surfers in Malibu, the Surfrider Foundation now maintains over 50,000 members and 80 chapters worldwide.
