Our mission is to protect our oceans, waves and beaches through a powerful activist network.

About Us

Surfrider Vancouver Island is a dedicated chapter of the larger Surfrider organization.

More importantly, we are collection of like-minded Vancouver Island coastal inhabitants. No matter where we are originally from, we call Vancouver Island home now and are focusing on ways of protecting and preserving it into the future.

Membership

Many of our volunteers have reaped the rewards of making a difference.

Your membership will support the largest network of coastal defenders – the Surfrider chapter network – to continue to protect what we love – our oceans, waves and beaches for generations to come.
