2026 Surfrider San Diego Surf-a-Thon
About this event
POSTPONED — Surfrider Foundation San Diego County postponed its inaugural Surf-a-Thon, originally scheduled for October 11, 2026 at La Jolla Shores Park. The organizer says it needs additional time to build community support and make the first edition successful; no replacement date, venue, registration reopening date, or revised schedule has been announced. Existing donors and surfers do not lose their progress: Surfrider explicitly says fundraising already completed will carry forward to the rescheduled event. The organizer also plans refreshed prize packages, top-fundraiser recognition, and more public activities when the event returns. Do not travel to La Jolla Shores or use the old $40 rider checkout, waiver, or attendee RSVP as an active October 11 entry path. Existing registrants and donors should monitor the official event page and the exact @surfridersandiego postponement post for direct instructions and the new date. Before postponement, the program was planned as an all-levels public surf fundraiser with longboard, shortboard, and boogie-board heats, morning yoga, awards, and a volunteer cleanup. Those times, original La Jolla Shores venue details, $40 fee, equipment rules, and heat assignments are retained only as historical context; none is confirmed for the rescheduled edition. La Jolla remains a valid Southern California regional surf destination roughly 120 road miles from central Los Angeles, but the replacement location is TBA.
