Description
The Encinitas Lions Club Blind Surfing Event is the Encinitas Lions Club signature cause during the year. It is held in partnership with Urban Surf 4Kids. Volunteers from the club as well as many sponsors from the community come together to put on a day of surfing for the blind and the sight-impaired. Surfers are provided wet suits, surfboards and instruction, in the water by Certified Surfing Instructors as they challenge themselves to balance atop surfboards.
Breakfast and BBQ lunch is provided to our sight impaired guests and volunteer workers.
