THANK YOU! – 11th Annual Catch a Curl
THANK YOU
Thank you for coming and supporting NESS’s 11th Annual Catch a Curl at Westerly Town Beach on Saturday! We had 70 surfers enter the classic, and with their help, we were able to collect over 77 pounds of trash during our beach clean up! Unfortunately, the waves did not show up for us, but that didn’t stop us from having a great day! Instead of surfing, we held a paddle race for each of our four divisions.
The four divisions of surfers were Big Kahuna (advanced surfers ages 15-18) competitors, Wahine (girls ages 11-14) competitors, Menehune (boys ages 11-14) competitors, and Ankle-Biters (ages 10 and under)! Congratulations to our winners!
BEACH CLEAN UP
Following our competition, we partnered with NAMEPA (North American Marine Environment Protection Association) and ORCA (Ocean Recovery Community Alliance) to organize a beach-wide cleanup for International Coastal Cleanup Day. Our competitors, staff members, volunteers, partners, and surfer’s families collected over 77 lbs of trash and marine debris! Thank you so much to NAMEPA and ORCA for organizing the cleanup!
