SURFRIDER promotes
the right of low-impact, free and open access
to the world's waves and beaches for all people.
SURFRIDER acts to preserve this right of access.
Sounds great, right? We want
access to the beach and surf and there's a state agency
created expressly to give it to us. But, 25 years after
the passage of the Coastal Act, although some victories
have been gained, we still don't have access to the beach
in many locations. How can this be? What went wrong?
