🌊 FINAL PUSH - https://bit.ly/SFPortlandMember 💙

Our 2026 Membership Drive ends August 31, and we’re making one last push to grow our Surfrider Portland community!

🌱 Our chapter is powered by volunteers and donations, and your membership helps make our work possible. From our Green Streets program to beach cleanups, advocacy, education, and so much more, we depend on our community to keep showing up for the ocean and the places we love.

Earlier this year, Surfrider celebrated an incredible milestone: our 1,000th coastal victory 👏! That’s 1,000 wins for our ocean, waves, and beaches, and proof that grassroots action works.

Now, we need YOU to help us keep that momentum going.

📣 Join or renew your Surfrider Portland membership before August 31 -> https://bit.ly/SFPortlandMember

Every member makes our movement stronger. Every donation helps us continue the work. Every volunteer makes a difference.

We're excited to get out on the water on the Willamette River Saturday morning - who is joining us?!

BIG NEWS: Drink this Breakside b**r and benefit Surfrider Portland 🙌

🌊 A b**r that benefits — in more ways than one.

For B**r That Benefits #4, we’re teaming up with the Surfrider Foundation, supporting their work to protect our oceans, waves, and beaches.

The b**r? A seriously hop-forward West Coast IPA loaded with Mosaic and Nectaron, with big notes of sweet grapefruit, mango, and tropical fruit. We gave this one an extra-intense dry hop and a few cellar tweaks to turn the fruit and hop character all the way up.⬆️

We love our adopted beach!

Why surfing at Short Sand Beach on Oregon Coast is so popular Short Sand Beach draws visitors from across the U.S. with beginner-friendly surf, scenic coastal views and a forest trail. Here's why.
