The Untold Story of Brooklyn Surf Club

Brooklyn Surf Club was born from a simple idea: to bring the joy and confidence of surfing to young people in New York City who might never otherwise have the opportunity.

Just two months after the organization’s founding in 2023, Brooklyn Surf Club turned that idea into reality with its first community surf event: Surf’n Smile Day at Rockaway Beach. We offered free surf lessons to children from underserved communities, marking the first step in delivering on its mission to promote access, open water safety, and joy through the ocean.

Since that inaugural event, Brooklyn Surf Club has brought together 80+ volunteers that helped organize more than 500 free surf lessons for more than 300 kids across all New York City boroughs.
