Today is International Surfing Day!  I love doing this post every year… just for Dena.  Because today is International Surfing Day, you can join The Surfrider Foundation for only $20 and get a great t-shirt for doing so!  Plus you would totally be doing your part to help our beaches!!!  If you live near a beach, or just love the beach - you can understand the awesome work that this organization does!  Please note that this is NOT one of those paid post things - I am just passing along the info - so go join and contribute some money to a good cause, I did!  Plus you get a T-Shirt for doing so!!!  You would pay $20 for a shirt anyways, why not make sure the money goes to a good cause?  Here is some more information:

Ever needed a legitimate excuse to go surfing? Well, on June 20, 2008, you finally have it: International Surfing Day. Created by SURFING Magazine & The Surfrider Foundation, this unofficial, official surfers’ holiday gives us a chance to promote and celebrate the sport while bringing awareness to the state of our oceans and beaches.

The goal is simple: take the day, or at least a part of the day, to go out, catch a wave or three and—while you’re at it—help clean up your favorite beach. In conjunction with the Surfrider Foundation, we’ll be organizing a handful of official beach cleanups, but that doesn’t stop you from beautifying your own stretch of sand.
