The NH Chapter Surfrider Foundation is hosting the 3rd Annual Spooked Kook Surf Competition & Beach Cleanup on Saturday, Oct 22 from 8AM-11AM and we want you to join us in the fun!

This event will raise awareness and support the Chapter’s Clean Water Efforts, including the continued funding of our Blue Water Task Force which is responsible for monitoring the water quality off the NH Coast. If you would like to learn more about our unique partnership with DES and UNH’s Jackson Estuarine Lab, and the impact of this program, please visit (New Hampshire Chapter – Surfrider Foundation).

We also want to sign on our first Ocean Friendly Restaurants this year, and work with local municipalities to implement #SkiptheStuff and “ask first” ordinances, requiring restaurants to implement “accessories upon request” thus lessening single-use plastics, napkins and the like!  This effort will support a shift from single-use to reuse.
