On Sunday, June 19, 33 countries and territories hosted 185 events for the International Surfing Day!

The latest disciplines, paddleboard, stand-up paddle, alaia and flat skim board were truly a hit. Surf culture was also expressed through many exhibits (photos, sculptures, surf
boards...) and demos by shapers. Surfrider Foundation Europe and SAS actions brought public awareness of the importance of respecting of the environment. The International Surfing Day ended with parties, movie projections and concerts, for a unique day full of good vibes!

Spring has happily taken up residence in Europe, and all members of the big family of surfing have ants in one’s pants!

Traditionally, for the last 8 years, the ISD occurs a Sunday, the closest one of summer solstice, to enable as many people to share with family and friends, this very special day. This year, the INTERNATIONAL SURFING DAY will take place on Sunday, June 19, in opening of the summer season on all coasts of Europe. Nevertheless, the USA invites the international organizers (without Europe) to celebrate the ISD on the solstice day, June 20.
The 2011 edition is thus 2 times more reasons to celebrate surfing on the worldwide waves and beaches!

Come, discover and share the passion for boardsports thanks to many activities all around the planet!
