The Surfrider Foundation has a rich history of inspiring stewardship and recreation through our mission to protect and enjoy the world’s ocean, waves and beaches through a powerful activist network. Founded by a handful of visionary surfers in Malibu in 1984, our organization has grown into one of the largest and most effective conservation organizations in the world. We rely on financial contributions from individuals, foundations and companies to ensure our ability to achieve our mission and grow our impact.
