Surf Fest Guided Trips

 

This are proposed trips. Actual trips will be based on participant interest. Bird Island Basin requires cars to have passes to the National Sea Shore and to Bird Island Basin. We will share any costs and carpool to only need a few cars. Some participants will have the permits. In case of strong winds, the trips may be moved further inland.
