I first got involved with Surfrider over 5 years ago at a Manly beach for the Fight for the Bight paddle out. If you don’t know much about Surfrider Foundation, Surfrider was born from the surf community and today is one of the country’s most established and trusted coastal and ocean advocacy organisations, with over 34 years of experience protecting Australia’s coastlines. We are made up of surfers from all over Australia who care enough to volunteer their time to protect their local beach from its biggest environmental impacts. We have an epic Northern Beaches branch who are responsible for so many of the coastal wins in Freshie and surrounds. I can highly recommend joining them as a volunteer - it's a cool little crew and how I first started working with Surfrider.

We rely on the ocean for so much sometimes we forget the ocean relies on us too. Thank you for helping to protect the places you love through your support of Keel - we really couldn't do it without you!
