Hello everyone!
A big thanks to the crew who came out last Thursday to cleanup Cox Bay! Also a big thanks to Surf Sister and Pacific Surf School for organizing it, Pacific Sands for hosting the bbq and Breakers for the great food and drinks - we managed to raise some good funds for our Respect the Beach program for the kids!


South Chesterman Clean Up - Monday, September 15, 2008
A big thanks for all those that helped clean up South Chesterman on Monday and to Breakers Deli for the much appreciated juice and pop! A good dozen of us not only picked up the usual trash (cigarette butts, glass, plastic...) but also 4 big fish nets and an old crab trap. Good job everyone, the ocean critters love you.

International Surfing Day 2008
Where: Cox Bay, south of the public access trail
When: June 20, 2008 6pm-8pm



Surfrider Tofino hosted a Beach BBQ at Cox Bay celebrating International Surfing Day, where a good 50 locals and visitors (small kids, big kids and their dogs!) celebrated our ocean and sport. The waves were small but glassy and some feasted before their surf, and some after! Thanks to Trish at Breakers Deli for ordering the burgers and Ron for flipping all afternoon! Also to the District of Tofino for lending us their tent - however we did not use it as it was nice out! Thanks also to Surfrider Vancouver and Victoria for showing up, helping out and next year we'll do it again! Click here for photos
