The Silver Lake Race
We're linking up with our friends at The Silver Lake Race on Sunday, October 13, 2024 to raise money for Kuhn Employment Opportunities, a non-profit provides support for adults with disabilities to help them find employment and become valued, independent and proud members of our community. All paddling craft are welcome, and paddlers can choose between racing (5 miles) or a shorter group paddle around the lake (approximately 2.5 miles).
Afterwards, our CT Surfrider Chapter will our final Surfrier Sprints of the season!! Scroll to learn more about this series.

Connecticut Coastal Cleanups
Old Saybrook, CT
Sun Oct 20, 2024
11a-1p
Cleanups are a great way to get up close and personal with our global pollution crisis. We gather data from our findings and enter it into a nationwide database, allowing us to measure the work we're doing on a local level to create a worldwide impact.
We'll be sweeping the shores of Old Saybrook for this month's cleanup! We go rain or shine, so please dress accordingly for the weather, and we love when our volunteers bring their own gloves and bucket (but we always have spares to share!).
Talk Stories
The loose translation of the Hawaiian definition of “Talk Story” is to converse, share experiences, to be raw, authentic, and bond with those who you are sharing the the moment with. What might at first appear unorganized is actually much more than just an unstructured discussion: we connect with one another and hear inspiring, motivating and historical stories of success, failure and key accomplishments. Along the way, we’ll learn tips and techniques, insights into equipment, the power of positive thinking and how to draw inspiration from the ocean.
This series will return soon - stay tuned!
