Absolutely!!! Everyone is welcome, doesn't matter the age or gender. Beginners and seasoned surfers and anyone with a interest for getting outdoors. Surfista is open to all levels.

Surfista is a community located all across Southern California, with a focus on Orange County, LA County, and San Diego County.

Surfista is the antidote - a community of like-minded adventure lovers who lean into the freedom of the board. Surfing, skating, skiing, and more. But it is more than the activity - it is the community of down people who are tired of watching it online and are ready to get in and be a part of the adventure. We aim to create a community for all board-riding enthusiasts to learn and grow. You no longer have to experience this alone when you have Surfista!

A group of Volunteer Coordinators help run Surfista events. We have felt the positive impact of this community and are so happy to give back!

Join our slack channel here to stay up to date with weekly events and meetups. Events will be posted on our events page here.

Yes, Surfistas bring their own gear to events. For most surf meetups, a surfboard and wetsuit is needed. If you don't have them yet and would like recommendations of where/what to get, check out our Resources page and reach out in the Slack community channels.
