Welcome to the Annapolis Surf Club

Welcome to the

Annapolis Surf Club

Our Mission: The Annapolis Surf Club is a club specifically designed for wave riding enthusiast on the western shores of the DelMarVa. The purpose of the ASC shall be to provide and promote a positive community among regional surfers in order to provide a network through which members can meet and exchange information through their common interests and promote the spirit of aloha by respecting the beach and ocean. The club’s charitable purpose is to raise funds to contribute to local wave riding, beach and coastal related non-profit [501(c)(3)] groups. We do this, in part, by sharing the ride, some waves, and some laughs on the way to and from our wave riding destination. The Club subscribes to the tenet of the Aloha Spirit Law.

Next Up: Spring Fling Weekend, April 19-21, 2013, at the Chet's Surf Shack in Rehoboth. See below for more info.
