To all of our members, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! December brought fantastic turnouts for our beach clean-up and Ocean Night. Also, thank you to all the volunteers who helped make Surfrider's “Day Without a Bag” successful. Humboldt Surfrider is starting the New Year with the same momentum we ended with! This year Surfrider will be building more support from the community for our “Ban the Bag” campaign. To jumpstart these efforts we have created an online petition to generate signatures. Check it out here. Help us spread the word by sharing with your friends and family or on Facebook. We look forward to seeing you in the new year!
