2024 Newport Beach Surf Responder Summit

BWRAG’s Surf Responder Summit is a two-day training designed for surfers and ocean enthusiasts of all levels and ability. This course teaches you how to be a Surf Responder: an ocean athlete who not only knows how to mitigate their own personal risk, but can also serve as an asset and help others in an emergency situation.
