California Coastal and Beach Clean Up Day! Huntington Beach

Surfrider Beach cleanup - Huntington/Seal Beach Chapter

This Saturday was the first of many Slyde Sponsored Beach cleanups with Surfrider. It was a huge success , and was, as usual an awesome day, we were really stoked to be involved in helping to keep out beaches clean. Also It just happened an awesome swell day, good things come to those that help I guess as the Slyde team got some sick waves in between keeping the beaches clean.  It was an early start at 6am however with the help of coffee supplied by Surfider , 483 Volunteers swarmed the Huntington Beach at 6th ave with media coverage from NBC/4 and the OC register to pick up all the trash on the beach   

The biggest News for the day however was the amount of trash we were all able to collect from the surrounding beaches with over 483 pounds of trash picked up, 1.5 LBS of that was Styrofoam, I'm not even sure how you get that much Styrofoam on a beach!
