Support Adaptive Surfing Athletes in the Rockaways

Project Description

Join athletes of all abilities for a fun day of surfing! This will be the Greater NYC Spartans 4th year participating in this event! 

Hundreds of volunteers, people of all ages with disabilities, and entire families come together for an epic day in the ocean. Whether you’ve surfed with us for years, are a beginner, or just want to meet people and hang out for the day…YOU BELONG HERE. Everyone is welcome. 

Volunteer roles include: registration, hospitality, set up & take down, athlete prep, shallow water athlete support, mid water athlete support and deep water athlete support. 

Spartans are also welcome to just show up and cheer on athletes vs signing up for an official volunteer role.
