Overview

Mission

The mission of surfers of tomorrow is to promote the growth of competitive surfing through events that have limited impact on the environment, while highlighting coastal and ocean awareness through education and support of like-minded charities.

What it reported doing in 2021

Surfers of tomorrow hosted a world surf league sanctioned event at the pismo beach pier. Surfers hosted were from over a dozen countries. We also hosted beach clean-ups before and after the event with the help of the slo chapter of the surfrider foundation which left the beach cleaner than when the event started.
