Come and meet us at the next steering committee and Rock Water race planning meeting on Wednesday, March 3rd at 6:00 pm. Location is at Native Foods at the CAMP in Costa Mesa.

In this new Blogs and Bios section we will try to give you some insight into the personalities on the Surfrider Foundation- Newport Beach Chapter Steering Committee. We will also blog about ideas, campaigns, research, politics and anything else relevant to Surfrider Foundation and all of us in the chapter.
