Iron Surfer presented by Quiksilver

As a loyal and supportive member of the Surfrider Foundation, you know how important it is to protect our coastline. Today is your chance to amplify the strength of Surfrider by introducing our work to more and more people, change more and more people's habits and choices.

You must be a member to participate in this challenge. If you're not a current member, join. You'll receive an email acknowledgement with your member number. Then insert your member number below and invite your friends and family to help you win the Iron Surfer Challenge!

You have the power to change people by encouraging your friends to become Surfrider members. If everyone signs up just one friend, our impact will double!

And when you sign up five friends you'll be recognized as an Iron Surfer with a limited edition 2010 Iron Surfer t-shirt. As an Iron Surfer you can make five times the impact on the health of our oceans, waves and beaches today and long into the future.

And if you're one of the top three Iron Surfers who recruit the most new members by October 31, 2010, you'll win:
