Stay Home, Shred Later

We love surfing just as much as anyone - but we ask that you stay at home, honor beach closures, and avoid travel and crowded public spaces. Let's all work together, so that we can get back in the water as soon as possible.

Our Chapter is focusing on "keeping it clean upstream." We host a number of events to help protect our oceans, waters, and beaches.

Get Involved

The Portland Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation’s work is focused keeping it clean upstream through our programs including Ocean Friendly Restaurants, Green Streets, #DitchTheStrawPDX, Hold On To Your Butt programs and our Blue Water Task Force water quality monitoring program facilitated by the Surfrider North Coast Chapter. Chapter meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month beginning at 7:00 PM. The meetings are open to the public and family friendly. See calendar for location details.
