More than just catching a wave

To many people surfers represent a scene of trouble, drugs, alcohol, and just plainly a negative character. Yes, it may be true that some surfers may cause trouble and/or act inappropriately, but not all think just about surfing.

Surfing would not be possible if the Earth was not kept clean including our oceans. The Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit organization that is nationwide that works to help surfing possible for many. They work closely with those surfer who care and to whom surfing means more than just catching a wave. Protecting our beaches, dunes, and anything related to the ocean, the Surfrider Foundation brings surfers from all over the country together to complete one project, PROTECT THE EARTH.

The local chapter of Miami Beach is always closely involved in fighting to help preserve our beaches. Their upcoming work includes a dune restoration on the 57 block of Collins Avenue in Miami Beach on June 6 at 10 am.

The Surfrider Foundation works closely with the local surf shops like Quiksilver. Together they help spread the respect and the love for the ocean. Starting by joining the foundation and teaching the future generation on how they can help.

Quiksilver has always been known as a powerful company in the surf industry. They are always

involved in the preservation of the oceans with their own foundation.

Whether you are a surfer or not, helping save the oceans and its surrounding is always something to think about. Our Oceans hold a large amount of marina life on the sandy shores of beaches or in the deep blue sea and learning to protect it should be in every ones to do list.
