The International Surfing Day was established in 2005 by the Surfrider Foundation, and other organizations. Every year, surfers and surfing fans run contests, eco-friendly events, barbecues, film screenings, beach cleanups and multiple ocean-based activities.
These celebrations are held all over the world. Until 2013, the International Surfing Day was celebrated in two different dates. The Surfrider Foundation ran one, and the other one was put out by EuroSima.
Today, the ISD is held annually on the third Saturday of June, and engages thousands of surfers and activists from over 30 countries.
