Go Paddle Around a Pier

Grab your boards and head over to the Ocean Beach Pier for the Paddle For Clean Water this Sunday, September 18th from 9am - 12noon. This year marks the 20th Anniversary for this annual event which helps bring awareness to the pollution problem along San Diego's coastline. Presented by the Surf Rider Foundation, the Paddle For Clean Water is a non-competitive event that consists of over 1000 local surfers and ocean enthusiasts paddling around the Ocean Beach Pier all supporting the cause. The event is a free and is open to all ages and abilities with any human-powered paddle craft. There will also be a complimentary breakfast for all paddlers, guest speakers, a post-event beach cleanup and a raffle featuring prizes such as a retro twin fish surfboard from Eco Boardworks, 20 pairs of sunglasses from Spy (a  OBSS vendor), a collection of gift certificates from San Diego businesses and much more!

Without our beautiful coastline, San Diego would not be the amazing paradise it is today. So join Ocean Beach Surf and Skate, the San Diego Surf Rider Foundation and over 1,000 local watermen and women to support the cause and keep our coastline clean!

Ocean Beach Community Clean-up with Ocean Minded!

What better way to kick off your weekend than with some good karma? Join Ocean Beach Surf & Skate and Ocean Minded for our first-ever, Ocean Beach Community Clean-up!

Seeing as OB is small beach town, it's inevitable that any trash in our streets will eventually end up in our ocean and that's why Ocean Beach Surf & Skate has teamed up with Ocean Minded to help keep our beaches AND community clean! Grab a bucket and help clean the streets of OB between 3pm - 5pm this Friday.

You can help out for however long as you'd like and we'll be giving away free swag to all of our participants! We'll also be BBQ'n in the parking lot, playing some fun games with Ocean Minded and the skate ramps will be set-up for those who'd like to get some shredding in!

Ocean Minded will be providing all clean-up gear. Thanks for helping keep our community clean!
