Volunteers who work directly with our participants and families are always in high demand and for good reason. But there is something truly selfless and special about those who show up to set up and break down an event, often without the recognition they deserve.

Seeing so many young volunteers willing to do the hard work behind the scenes gives us so much hope. We can’t fully express the gratitude we have for every one of you. Thank you for making it all possible. 💙

Who had the best time at Surfing for Autism?!?!?

It's always tough to know if it's the participants, families, or volunteers. We are forever grateful for those who make the event possible, especially when the weather doesn't always cooperate. Your smiles and energy make a difference!

Porta potties are located at the beach access to the left of the food tent.

Jenette’s Pier has a plumber actively working on the water main break that has their bathrooms closed.

With lightning at the moment - Volunteers, please remain in your cars. The pier is closed due to a water main break.
