Celebrate the joy of surfing Friday down at the Hermosa Beach Pier with a salute to the nearing summer solstice and the burgeoning, official holiday for surfers around the world known as International Surfing Day. What started in 2005 by Surfrider Foundation and Surfer Magazine, ISD provides a one-day platform where businesses, water enthusiasts, and ocean activists come together to exhibit the stoke of all that revolves around surfing. From healthy oceans, to water conservation, and learning how to surf, ISD will be inspiring events all around the world this Friday June 20th.

One of the bigger ISD events takes center stage on the Hermosa Beach Pier with the help of surf brand and company Hurley and local surf shop Spyder Surfboards this Friday from 6:00am to 3:00pm. On the north side of the Hermosa Beach Pier Hurley team members like soul surfing ambassador Rob Machado will be in and around the water encouraging beginning surfers to catch their fist wave, which Hurley has dubbed “Catch Your First Wave Session.” Enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks, learn how you can do your part for the environment with Hurley H20 and Waves For Water, and receive a Hurley x ISD goodie bag. Surf equipment including surfboards and wetsuits will be provided by Hurley and Spyder Surf Shop
