INTERNATIONAL SURFING DAY 2010 ATLANTA

UPDATE: See directions to Lanier Park below.

Come out and help Surfrider Foundation Atlanta Chapter celebrate our beaches and the sport of surfing on June 19 for International Surfing Day. We plan to do our part to keep our local beaches at Lake Lanier barefoot clean with a morning shore sweep. We will spend the afternoon in the water on stand up paddle boards. If you’ve never tried this fun sport, now is the time. Local SUP dealer Paddle Anywhere will have boards to try and will be hosting some fun races and free paddle sessions. 

FOOD. You can also sign up for a lunch package from Gezzo's Surf and Grill, where a portion of the proceeds will go to support the celebration and Surfrider Foundation. The lunch package consists of either Chicken or Veggie Burritos-made with rice, beans, cheese, lettuce and pico de gallo and served with chips and salsa--all for $12.

IMPORTANT: Please sign up for a Free Ticket if you plan to attend. If you want lunch, please also purchase a Lunch Ticket. You can also purchase any number of Donation Tickets if you want to support Surfrider Foundation. You don't need to print your tickets. YOU MUST PURCHASE YOUR LUNCH TICKET PRIOR TO JUNE 17 AT NOON.
