June 20 marked the 11th annual International Surfing Day (ISD). Organized by Surfing Magazine and The Surfrider Foundation in 2004, more than 30 countries now participate in celebrations of the beloved ocean sport with surfing contests, film screenings, barbecues and other surf-related activities.

In addition to celebrating the sport and surfing lifestyle, the day also promotes coastal protection and habitat restoration. For more information about ISD and ways to help The Surfrider Foundation, visit surfrider.org.
