Welcome to Surf For All!

Surf For All is a non for profit 501c3 organization based in Long Beach, NY.

We believe the ocean is a source of healing and spiritual strength that should be accessible to all.

2018 was another successful year with over 25 events, the second year of our Adaptive Surf Camp and our Surf For All – Surf Competition, thanks to NYSEA’s Surf Week. We are grateful for all of your donations, without your generosity Surf for All would not be possible.
