What is the Paddle for Clean Water?
Join us for the 32nd Annual Paddle for Clean Water, hosted by the Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter on Sunday, September 29, 2024, at 9:00 am at Mission Beach Park (just south of Belmont Park).
Originally launched in the 90s as a protest against sewage pollution, the Paddle for Clean Water has evolved into an annual event that unites surfers, swimmers, and ocean enthusiasts in a massive display of solidarity for protecting our coastline and ocean's water quality.
This year’s event offers San Diegans the chance to come together, build community, and participate in a range of activities, including morning yoga, a coastal ribbon project, a paddle out, a beach cleanup, a celebration of the year’s achievements, and live music.
