Registration Information
The 2023 Season is beginning!!
We will be once again holding small Chapter sessions, the second and third Saturdays of the month May-September, in Martin and St. Lucie counties. We have received such a positive response from our families that experienced Chapters last season, that we want to continue to offer this option.
WE ARE ALSO HOLDING LARGE EVENTS AGAIN THIS SEASON!!!
If you can't make one of our chapter sessions, or you just prefer all the fun a big event brings, don't worry! We will be holding larger events in several different areas of Florida once again. We are so excited to be holding Surf Festivals again. Lunch and water will be provided, so bring your beach chairs and let's get back to what we do best!
FESTIVAL PARTICIPANTS:
Registration will open approximately 6 weeks prior to the start of a festival. Each event will have 200 participants and 500 volunteer spots. Once spots are full registration will be closed. Check-in is at 8:00 and surfing starts at 9:00. Participants should be at the beach at 8:00 on the day of the event to be assigned a group and receive their wristband. All participants and volunteers must sign and bring the Liability Waiver with them to any SFA event, in order to participate. The link to the waiver can be found at the bottom of this page.

CHAPTER PARTICIPANTS:
PARTICIPANTS(ages 4-young adult) ARE REGISTERING AND COMMITTING TO BOTH DATES IN A SESSION. PARTICIPANTS MAY ONLY REGISTER FOR 1 SESSION TIME. PLEASE DO NOT REGISTER FOR MORE THAN 1 LOCATION. If a participant registers for both session times or in two locations for the same registration period, they will be removed. There are limited spots available and we want everyone to have a chance to surf. When you register, you are registering for BOTH SATURDAYS of that session. Please plan accordingly.
Each session will have 15 participants and 40 volunteers. Once registration has filled a waitlist will automatically start. If there is a cancellation, and a spot opens an email from EVENTBRITE will automatically be sent to the next participant on the list. THESE EMAILS ARE TIME SENSITIVE, and will need to be responded to in 24 hours. If a response is not received within the time limit, Eventbrite moves to the next participant on the list. Please check your email regularly, so you do not miss your opportunity to register.
All participants must sign and bring the Liability Waiver with them to the event. The link to the waiver can be found at the bottom of this page.
