The 14th Annual Catch a Curl Youth Surf Classic is open to beginners through advanced youth surfers ages 6-18, and is followed by a community Beach Cleanup open to all.
"Try-surfing" sessions are available with the support of NESS instructors to learn the basics or tune up your surfing skills before the competition. Registered participants can enjoy 15-minute try-surfing sessions, with three people in the water at a time, on a first-come, first-served basis.
After the surf, stick around to join our community Beach Cleanup and celebrate International Coastal Cleanup Day! Together, we’ll help protect our shorelines and keep our oceans clean for future adventures.
