AMPSURF Surf On Saturday/VetSurf (Pismo Beach)

We are stoked to combine two of our most popular programs, Surf on Saturdays(SOS) and VetSurf! These two programs serve Veterans (VetSurf), local disabled, and First Responders. The programs run all year on the 1st and 3rd Saturday each month at the Addie St. beach access in beautiful Pismo Beach. Below are more details on each and we hope we see you at the beach!!!

We encourage all Veterans, First Responders and all those living with disabilities to join us for our bi-weekly Surf on Saturdays / VetSurf programs to share the camaraderie with like-minded brothers and sisters. Surfers and non-surfers are welcome, enjoy coffee and snacks on the beach or paddle out to share some waves with fellow Veterans and those living with disabilities.

AmpSurf provides all necessary surfing equipment and wetsuits for new surfers, Certified Surf Instructors are available to teach any participants wanting to learn to surf. A beach access wheelchair is available for anyone who requires it.

If you have your own gear and can surf independently, please join us and share your love of surfing with your fellow Veterans, First Responders, and locally disabled.

If the sign-ups for the ticket type you need have already closed, please sign up for an upcoming session, we need to make sure we have staffing to ensure you have an epic surf session!

FREE SURFBOARDS AND WETSUITS FOR VETERANS - Through our partners we have 20 surfboards to giveaway to Veterans who are learning to surf. If a beginning surfer who is a Veteran signs up and comes out 4 times and surfs with us we will give them a new surfboard and one of our wetsuits, so they can keep the stoke of surfing going!!!!
